There are people who stake/back players for a percentage of winnings.
There are many different kinds of staking/backing with various agreements and arrangements.
So kind of, yes.

Hi, friend. to hire a player if you can, there are also sponsors in poker as in any game. This year I saw more sponsors than previous years. In the big tournaments you will see that the player wins both for image and for representing a poker room or some sponsor.

You can hire, it would be like an entrepreneur, or profit sharing, I wouldn't even have money.
I like to play, it's a distraction and an excellent hobby, as well as a good mental exercise.
it's my opinion

I think I have understood your question from another angle.
Do you mean like exceptionally good players? Like crushers and top pros?
These types of players will sometimes/often either swap or sell percentages of their buy-in and winnings, but not usually 100% of it because generally speaking they aren't in a position to have to 'work' for someone in this way as they are profitable and successful players so are able to stake themselves.
~EDiT:- With that being said, yes, there are quite a few pros who will gather a 'stable' of players who they back and take a cut of their winnings.

I would say yes but it's not that simple. If you're looking to make money hiring players, you want to make sure they are trainable or winning players. If looking to get hired, you will ether need to be willing to be trained as they want or being a winning player already. .

Yes, in the world of poker there are people and entities that hire poker players to play on their behalf in order to generate profits. This arrangement is commonly known as "banking" or "staking."
Staking: In the context of poker, staking involves an investor (the "banker") paying for a player's entry into a tournament or providing them with funds to play at cash tables. In exchange, the banker receives a percentage of the player's winnings. These types of agreements can vary in specific terms, such as the percentage of profits the banker receives and how losses are distributed.
Hiring Players: Some people or entities directly hire poker players to represent them in tournaments or games. In these cases, the player receives a salary, a share of the winnings, or a pre-agreed settlement for his participation in the game.
These arrangements are beneficial for both players and investors. Players can obtain funds to participate in tournaments or cash tables, thus mitigating their own financial risk. On the other hand, investors have the opportunity to profit from the skill and success of the player they have funded.
It is important that these agreements are based on clear and transparent contracts that clearly specify the terms and conditions, including the distribution of profits and the responsibilities of both parties. This helps avoid misunderstandings and conflicts in the future.
However, it is also essential to keep in mind that poker is a game of skill and subject to variability. Even highly skilled players can face streaks of bad luck. Therefore, both players and investors must be prepared for these fluctuations in the short term and maintain a long-term perspective in their financial dealings.

You can stake other players, you pay a part of the buy in of the tournament and win a % of the winnings. I remember that many years ago it used to exist a site that offered this option - you could offer or you could buy stake from other players. At that time, I staked a couple of players and only one player reached the FT of a big event, but I only had like 1%, so, I won only a little more than $100. I stopped before they closed the site, because I thought I was losing more money than winning.

If you are a very rich person and you are bored or you want to increase your money, you can buy a player who plays well and invest in him to play tournaments and share the profits as you agree with him, but you need to find such a player usually if a player plays so well, why should he share money with someone if he earns money correctly himself so it will be very difficult to find such players but possible
