What is Beth Shak's net worth?
Beth Shak, today known as Beth Silverberg, is an American professional poker player and fashion designer who has a net worth of $2.5 million. Beth Shak became somewhat nationally infamous in 2012 when he ex-husband filed a lawsuit in which he claimed she hid the value of her shoe collection during their divorce proceedings several years prior. As we detail in a moment, the collection reportedly contained 1,200 pairs of designer heels and was apparently valued at $1 million. She has appeared on numerous reality shows and talk shows, including "Access Hollywood", "Millionaire Matchmaker", "The Today Show", "The Wendy Williams Show", and "The View".
Beth Shak was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 8, 1969. Growing up she was always interested in fashion. She ran her own vintage and couture business for ten years. However, she ultimately found more success and fame in the poker world.

In 2007 she signed with Full Tilt Poker as a Red Pro. She has made significant money at ten tournaments, and placed eighth at the 2005 World Series of Poker Ladies' Event, and second in the 2007 World Series of Poker $3K No-Limit Hold 'em event.

Shoe Collection
In 2011, Beth earned headlines when she went public in several interviews about her shoe collection, notably a 2011 segment on the "Today Show." The collection purportedly featured over 1,200 pairs of extremely high-end shoes. These interviews took place around three years after she filed for divorce from Daniel Shak. That's significant because upon learning about the shoe collection, Daniel proceeded to sue Beth claiming he was entitled to 35% of the collections value. And while that may not seem like a big deal at first, Daniel further alleged that the collection was worth $1 million. Beth Shak's shoe collection at that time reportedly contained 500 combined pairs of Yves Saint Laurent pumps, Manolo Blahnik heels, Lanvin flats and Jimmy Choos. Most significantly, her collection featured 700 pairs of red-soled Christian Louboutins. One pair apparently was worth $4,000 on its own. She reportedly has a tattoo of the famous Louboutin heel in an intimate area and is such a frequent buyer that she is invited to special-order pre-sale events.
Daniel further claimed that Beth owned the collection while they were married and hid them from him in a secret room in their former $7.5 million Manhattan apartment. In a response, Beth claimed to be dumbfounded because the shoes were kept in the closet in their master bedroom.
