It would be hard to rank without knowing the criteria of "top 5 career". Its too general of a statement. Cash games, tourneys, endorsements, other investments, ect...

Doyle winning 1 million in 1970's dollars if different than durrr winning 1 million in 2011 dollars. (inflation)

Ya, looks like it's just tournament winnings from the big tournaments. I'd like to see figured of how much the best ring players made in their career. It would be shocking.
