“The Houser Brothers of GTA Fame Ranked as UK’s 4th Richest Gaming People”
The gaming industry is a lucrative one, and the recent “UK Gaming Rich List” from The Sunday Times publication proves just that. According to the list, the creators of Grand Theft Auto, the Houser brothers, have reached a level of wealth that puts them on par with Formula 1 legend Sir Lewis Hamilton. Both parties are reported to have a net worth of £350 million, or around 453 million US dollars.
It’s quite impressive to see how two English brothers who founded Rockstar Games in 1998 have achieved such financial success through their popular video game franchise. With over 430 million copies of Grand Theft Auto sold worldwide and GTA V alone earning over $10 billion in net bookings, it’s clear that the Houser brothers have struck gold in the gaming industry.
But their success doesn’t stop there. Rockstar Games has also produced other highly successful titles like L.A. Noire, Bully, Max Payne, and the Red Dead Redemption franchise, which has sold over 91 million units. With the highly anticipated release of GTA VI slated for fall 2025, it seems like there’s no stopping the Houser brothers and Rockstar Games from continuing their streak of success.
In the “Gaming Rich List,” the Houser brothers have secured the fourth position, with other gaming industry giants like Candy Crush’s Riccardo Zacconi and The Metaverse’s Herman Narula also making the list. The top spot goes to Playrix’s Igor and Dmitry Bukhman, with a net worth of over 1.254 billion sterling.
It’s clear that the gaming industry is not only a source of entertainment for millions of people worldwide but also a lucrative business that can make its creators incredibly wealthy. The success of the Houser brothers and other gaming industry leaders is a testament to the power of creativity and innovation in the digital age.
