Bill Gates of Poker - Dan Bilzerian

Phil Ivey is the Bill Gates of poker. He doesn't brag, he just gets shit done and knows he's smart/talented/the best, etc..

This guy is more like Floyd Mayweather. ie he doesn't shut up and flashes his money constantly. (nothing wrong with that)

Decent video though, I enjoyed it.

I'm pretty sure he inherited all the money. There was a thread on 2p2 about how it was all fake and he was a fish at the tables. Can anyone confirm?

People talk about Poker but forget to mention that the guy owns or has part of a poker room. Nuf said.

Even that he inherited all the money, at the rate the guy seems to be using it, he either is making much more or he'll run out pretty quick.

For a guy that has no problem showing his wealth, he's one of the most honest/self-conscious that I've seen so far (based on the videos I've seen ofc, I don't actually know him).

Anyway, this kind of lifestyle is what I call freedom, not actually the fancy jets and all the girls, but just doing wtv the hell you want, no constrains.

He is an absolute NUT. My buddy went to UF and was actually in a fraternity with him. Said he used to carry around guns and would point them at people. Sometime would even shoot at peoples feet for fun. A true lunatic.

And yes...inherited all that $$$$.

Think so too. Says he has businesses of his own, is an actor of some sort, etc. Also heard his dad scammed investors to make it big. Just what I have read on poker forums. However, the guy has the life. Everyday he is free to do as he pleases, buy his luxuries that will probably only satisfyhim for short time, etc. While most think he is overly flashy, arrogant, isnt growing up, so forth, he is a hoot to follow. While you probably shouldnt waste too much time on him, it is fun to see what he has blown money on or what he is doing...but obviously living through his fantasy world that is usually only seen in movies isnt exactly healthy.

Apparently he paid to be in a movie, and his part was cut down? Definitely sounds like there's some inherited dirty cash involved, fair play for managing to keep up with the lifestyle though.

I heard about this guy recently via this article:

http://www.buzzfeed.com/mrloganrhoades/this-millionaire-playboy-is-the-most-interesting-man-on-inst

Apparently he is NOT a former Navy SEAL though (according to Wikipedia at least). He was kicked out of SEAL training not long before graduation. So that might explain the guns.

What that article also did not mention was that his father was a successful Wall Street guy, a "corporate takeover specialist". Although he got into legal trouble and went bankrupt.

Still, what that article presents is pretty awesome IMO :joyful:

Fast lane or not, this guy is living the life (or so he makes it seem). If I may quote Mr. DeMarco and the fast lane book; "What you think of Dan Bilzerian doesn’t change his reality"

Doing what makes him happy. He's won over $50 million playing poker, has 97 guns, parties with numerous women, and has freedom to do whatever he wants. Just a motivation video.

This guy is living the dream * In my opinion*

Question becomes how to we make his fantasy world our own? Now that's the way to channel it into a productive way.

He claims he made like 50$ million playing poker. IMO seems like a pretty big stretch if he's not playing in Macau, and to be playing there you'd have to beat pro's like Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius.

Dan Bilzerian is 100% a fraud.

It is my understanding he inherited close to 100m from his father and employs the girls you see in the photos hes with. Hes considered a joke among professional poker players.

I had to remove my like from that. I only liked it because of certain aspects of the picture..didn't read the text until now..I'd rather be myself.

I still like the picture because of the angels though. Angels...haha :innocent: :halo:;)

PS: Steven Fernandez aka Baby Scumbag (only 13-15 y/o ?) is another phenomenon. Here's his YouTube channel, I'm sure you'll see the videos that relate to Dan in some way: https://www.youtube.com/user/BabyScumbag/videos

He makes me want to start skating again...damn.
