To live as a “rich guy” in Ukraine purely from No-Limit Hold’em tournaments, you generally need to move beyond low-stakes events, since buy-ins under $50 online or $200 live simply don’t generate enough consistent winnings to cover a luxurious lifestyle. The real opportunity starts at mid-stakes—online $100–$1,000 or live $500–$3,000 tournaments—where strong, disciplined professionals with solid ROI can realistically earn $5,000+ monthly, which already places you well above the average income level in Ukraine. At the high-stakes level—$1,000+ online or $5,000+ live—massive prize pools allow for six-figure yearly incomes, but variance and bankroll swings are extreme. Therefore, sustainable “rich living” usually requires consistent success in mid-to-high stakes, excellent bankroll management, and the ability to handle variance without losing emotional or financial stability.
