Are most famous poker players compulsive gamblers?

I know that Phil Ivey plays alot of craps - as does TJ Cloutier. And Ted Forrest, Doyle Brunson, and Howard Lederer all make huge proposition bets. I wonder if their huge apetite for gambling is the whole reason they are successful in the first place or the Achilies heel that will keep from acumulating wealth.
