Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen is the most successful player in the history of Counter-Strike, having earned $2.2 million in prize winnings.

The 32-year-old Dane won a record five CS:GO Major championships and attended all 19 during his high-flying career, which began in 2012.

Although he announced his retirement in June 2025, he remains heavily involved in esports as an analyst and brand ambassador.  

Here, we take an in-depth look at how dupreeh has amassed his wealth over the past 13 years, including his tournament success and business ventures.

His real name is Peter Rasmussen. He is a 32-year-old Dane who has taken home $2.2 million from 198 Counter-Strike tournaments.

His winnings mean he’s the game’s most financially successful player and the 41st richest esports competitor of all time, according to Esports Earnings.

Dupreeh, who won a record five CS:GO Major championships and attended all 19, announced his retirement from the competition scene in June 2025.

We have largely based dupreeh’s net worth on the $2.2 million prize winnings he amassed during a hugely successful 13-year career playing Counter-Strike.

However, he will have also earned a salary from the teams he played with during his career, as well as revenue from streaming and other ventures.

Here are the main revenue streams that dupreeh has enjoyed during his professional career and since announcing his retirement.

Let’s start with the $2.2 million earned in 198 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2 tournaments. 

His biggest single amount was the $200,000 received for winning the 2018 Intel Grand Slam Season 1.

However, a further six tournaments netted him $100,000 each, including the FACEIT Major: London 2018 and the StarLadder Berlin Major in 2019.

He won six-figure sums in seven out of his 13 playing years, with the £729,550 earned in 2018 being his best individual year.

Dupreeh has played for numerous teams over the years. Some have been relatively short arrangements, just for a handful of tournaments, while others have lasted years.

The salaries paid to players aren’t officially disclosed. However, dupreeh revealed in an interview that he made €30,000 per month with the Astralis team in 2019.

This would have been a particularly lucrative contract as top esports players usually earn up to $187,200 per year, according to a report from the Influencer Marketing Hub. 

Although the terms of their contracts are rarely disclosed, it’s likely that players benefit from sponsorship deals and endorsements of their teams.

For example, dupreeh claimed in an interview that his biggest earnings came from the collectable autograph stickers of the players in the BLAST Paris Major 2023.

Dupreeh may have also made money from streaming, although he was last on Twitch six years ago, according to the platform. 

In late June 2025, dupreeh announced on Instagram that he had joined Acezone as a brand ambassador.

He wrote: “I’ve been using their headsets for a while now, and it’s true what they say – they really ARE the best headsets for CS2. The audio clarity and noise cancellation makes the whole difference to me – you should try it.” 

He is also a minority investor and partner in Trinor Entertainment, a Danish studio that has taken on Skyward Masters as its first original IP. 

In a statement, dupreeh noted that this was his first involvement as an investor and within direct game development.

“Working mainly on core FPS gameplay and values. We are still at a very early stage, but I am beyond excited to see where this takes me and the game, planning on a full release in 2027.”

Dupreeh was born in Denmark on March 26, 1993. In an interview, His mum, Liselotte Rasmussen, recalled that he was always passionate about esports. “It is as if Counter-Strike is part of his DNA,” she said. “He was always on his computer.”

The young dupreeh first played Counter-Strike at a friend’s birthday party when he was still in primary school and loved it immediately. However, he had to book 30-minute slots at a local youth club because it wasn’t common to have computers at home.

In a 2019 profile, he recalled how his dad brought home a work computer that dupreeh and his brother ended up using. “My dad never used that computer, instead became the family gaming machine, and I began what has turned out to be a lifelong love affair with Counter-Strike.”

According to dupreeh, his parents were always very supportive of his dream to become a professional player, even during tricky periods when his school grades slipped, and when he decided not to attend college. 

“For years, my dad would still drive me to weekend tournaments,” he said. “There wasn’t a moment when he disrespected my dream. That’s just how he was. It’s a faith that stayed with him until the very end.”

In 2010, when dupreeh was just 17 years old, his dad was diagnosed with cancer. He recalls it as a dark year for the family, even though his dad remained the strongest person throughout his nine-year battle with the disease.

“Even as he was bearing the brunt of the cancer, he saw himself as the person responsible for the happiness and care of the rest of us,” recalled dupreeh. “In the years he had left, there wasn’t a moment in which he didn’t take that duty seriously.”

When his dad passed away in early 2019, dupreeh paid tribute on X, writing: “Yesterday marked the loss of my role model and the best father one could ever wish for. After a long and brave battle against cancer, my father is finally at peace. You’ll forever stay with me, and I’m happy I got to show you my world. I love you forever.”

Dupreeh joined his first team, the Copenhagen Wolves, in 2013 and earned $6.126.50 from 14 tournaments in that first year. He also played for the Danish national team.

He then joined Dignitas in 2014, earning $20,000 from 14 tournaments, before winning $92,513 across 27 events for TSM and $13,000 from four events with Team Question Mark.

However, he’s probably best known for his time with Astralis, which he joined in 2016. This is where he earned $1.8 million from 101 tournaments.

Dupreeh subsequently played for Team Vitality, Heroic, Preasy Esport, and Team Falcons before deciding to stop playing competitively.

In June 2025, dupreeh announced his retirement from esports competition in an emotional speech at the BLAST.tv Austin Major. “It’s time to say goodbye,” he said, choking back tears.

He told the crowd that he never imagined, when he first started playing Counter-Strike, that so many people would follow esports.

“My only goal was to make a name for myself,” he said. “If I could win just one major, that would be an achievement in itself, and today I stand with five titles.”

Dupreeh also took to X to explain that the reason for his decision to walk away from competition was to focus on his family.

“I want to spend more time with my kids,” he wrote. “Because to me, they’re the most important thing in my life.”

Dupreeh doesn’t appear to live a flashy lifestyle, at least not according to his social media posts. In fact, there’s very little charting of his spending habits.

It was seven years ago, in May 2018, that he posted a photograph on Instagram of a beautiful Audi RS5, accompanied by the #firstcar.

According to a 2023 article on Medium, dupreeh was living in an apartment valued at $1 million in the centre of Paris.

More recently, he has posted how his focus in life has changed, and he wants to spend more time with his children.

In December 2022, dupreeh announced that he had become an ambassador for the Danish Cancer Society.

He recalled how the disease had taken his dad and the “many years he battled with pain”, hospital visits, and the knowledge that he would probably never recover.

He wrote: “I look forward to making a difference for children and young people – and their families. I hope I can give some good memories and experiences, and help where I can.. I’m looking forward to getting started!

In 2019, it was reported that dupreeh had donated 10,000 Danish kroner (₽95,000) to the Danish Cancer Society.

He was the first Counter-Strike player to earn more than $2 million and remains the game’s most financially successful player.

His $2.2 million total earnings place him 41st in the all-time list of esports earners, which is headed by fellow Dane, Johan “N0tail” Sundstein’s $7.2 million fortune.

Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen is a legendary figure in the world of Counter-Strike. Not only is he the first person to win five Majors, he’s also earned the most in prize money.

His $2.2 million haul from 198 tournaments playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2 between 2012 and 2025.

Although he announced his retirement from playing in June 2025, he remains active as an analyst, as well as being a brand ambassador and partner in gaming-related businesses.
