Mark Scheinberg is an Israeli/Canadian billionaire, residing on the Isle of Man and was born in Israel on December 27, 1974. He moved to Canada in 1986 and has a current net worth of $6 billion.

His father Isai Scheinberg was born in 1946 in Vilnius, Lithuania and at 23, he earned his Master’s degree in math from Moscow State University.
In 1971, he and his wife left the Soviet Union when Jews were first allowed to emigrate to Israel where Scheinberg took a job as a software developer with IBM. He came to Toronto in 1982 for a two-year placement with IBM, then moved to Canada in 1987 when he joined the company’s Toronto Research Centre.
After the sale of PokerStars to Amaya, Mark Scheinberg became the public face of a global real estate and investing company with holdings around the world, including a luxury boutique hotel in Toronto.
In 2016, the Scheinbergs bought a substantial stake in chess.com.

As an Israeli-Canadian entrepreneur, Scheinberg rose to global prominence as the co-founder of PokerStars, a company he launched with his father in 2001. Under their leadership, the platform grew into the largest online poker site in the world, eventually selling for nearly five billion dollars in 2014.
With this fortune, Scheinberg shifted his focus to hospitality and high-end real estate. He founded Mohari Hospitality and invested in luxury properties across some of the world’s most sought-after destinations. Now based on the Isle of Man, he holds an estimated net worth of between five point six and six billion dollars — a fortune that allows him to enjoy a lifestyle few can imagine.
Scheinberg has emerged as the unofficial host of the summer, welcoming celebrities from sports and Hollywood aboard his private yacht for days of sun and opulence. TMZ described the vessel as a personal floating palace, with Scheinberg ensuring every guest enjoys unmatched luxury.

Helping organize these events is Scheinberg’s longtime friend Doug Chabbott, who helps curate the guest list filled with high-profile names. Despite the prestige, not every celebrity agrees to attend. Some reportedly declined, feeling uncertain about accepting an invitation from hosts they didn’t personally know.
Speculation about a romantic connection between Chabbott and Sofia Vergara surfaced, but sources clarified that their relationship remains strictly friendly. While the parties make headlines, there’s another side to Scheinberg. His family established the Scheinberg Relief Fund, which supports global charities and wildlife conservation efforts. Despite enjoying the privileges of immense wealth, he maintains a low public profile and shows consistent dedication to philanthropy. Mark is currently believed to be single and unmarried.

Unlike typical celebrity events orchestrated by agents and publicists, Scheinberg’s gatherings are built on personal connections, quiet success, and a desire to share meaningful moments with others. While fans speculate about celebrity romances or new friendships formed at sea, the deeper fascination lies with the man behind it all. As the landscape of A-list society continues to evolve, Scheinberg’s yacht remains one of the most exclusive destinations of the summer.
