I will ignore bets placed to manipulate this market, such as someone using an alt account to bet against themselves and have one of the accounts "profit" by M$10,000. I want this to be about "real" profit on "real" markets.
Only profit reflected on Manifold counts, not any private manalink deals. Any markets that resolved prior to this market being created don't count.
Simlar markets on various profit values:
@jack From the description:

@Yev It has to be profit that shows up in the "top traders" display on the market page.
@IsaacKing That's unfortunate. Pepe had ~521k unrealized profit on the 1st Biden market just before it resolved N/A. 😂
@a has already made 13k, 16k, and 43k(!) profits. @jack has 15k. @MichaelWheatley has 11k. @AmmonLam has 11k and 20k. Those are just the ones I found in the first ~5 minutes. Surely it'll happen again.
Also, there are bugs in the portfolio page where it's not showing all the markets sorted by profit properly.
The highest profit I'm aware of is my 69k on https://manifold.markets/BTE/will-a-delaware-judge-order-elon-mu
@AmmonLam I made the profits mostly from market making, and the vast majority of it was a windfall profit from my limit orders filling a big Spindle trade. See my comments at https://manifold.markets/BTE/will-a-delaware-judge-order-elon-mu#XAtIS2WyJD8CyZ6evxMG. I also was predicting that they'd settle before the court issued a ruling - which turned out to be correct.
