Dan Bilzerian is probably one of the most envied men in the world, thanks to his luxurious lifestyle and for always being surrounded with lots of sexy ladies. But how did he make his fortune and what is his net worth? Let’s find out in this article!
Dan Bilzerian is a business owner, venture capitalist, actor and gambler, but he claims to made most of his fortune from poker. He doesn’t have a rags to riches story, since his dad was a millionaire as well. He was an important equity player in the 80’s and by the age of 36 he made a fortune of 40 million dollars. But later on he had problems with the law and declared bankruptcy in 2001, claiming debts of more than 140 million dollars. But he still kept something for his two sons, and left them with heft trust funds to get started in life.
After high school, Dan Bilzerian entered the Navy and eventually began Navy Seal training but he then had some disputes with a superior and was kicked out right before graduation. We don’t know the exact facts, but probably he took the money from the trust funds and started to play high stakes poker. Not only this, but he also sponsors other players. For example, he once gave 2,000 to Jay Farber to enter an event and after placing second, he gave Dan $1 million of his prize. Now that’s a good investment!
He also has various holdings in his portfolio, which offer him financial stability, compared to poker games which are not that stable. In this game he built his reputation as a bad boy and he pushes everything to the edge as often as he has the chance. His lifestyle is so crazy that it’s no wonder that he had three heart attacks before the age of 32. He even claims to have put up his entire net worth in a poker game, which some people consider as bs. Critics are also claiming that he didn’t made so much money in poker, but rather had more millions from his father, who haven’t paid his debts in full. So the exact sources of his huge income and the exact amounts from each source are not that clear.
He won multiple poker tournaments, claiming to have won $10.8 million in a single game of heads-up no limit hold’em. His best result was at the 2009 World Series of Poker. Besides this, he also made money from various companies and also for starring in movies such as “Equalizer”, “Lone Survivor” or “The Other Woman”.
From all the sources summed up, many websites are claiming that Dan Bilzerian’s net worth in 2018 is that of an astonishing 150 million dollars. Whether that’s precise or not, there is no doubt that he is a rich man that lives a very luxurious lifestyle.
