Is that money just from Valve? Seems kind of crazy if so, didn't realise Steam was THAT big!

Most of that money is likely in Valve stocks. Ie. let's say Valve is worth 10 billion, GabeN owns half of Valve so there's 5 Bn right there.

Valve is a private company though.
If Gabe wanted to, he could take Valve public, and probably increase his net worth by a factor of two or more.

Though he would lose a lot doing so.
