This is Dan Bilzerian.

This is Dan Bilzerian.

Trained for 500 days before dropping out of the Navy SEALS.

Made MILLIONS in high stakes Poker.

One of the most controversial guys in the past 10 years.

But there’s more to his crazy story than we know of…

Dan claims he made his money off a few huge poker wins:

In 2013, he claimed he won $10.8 million in a SINGLE night of poker.

And $50 million in just 12 months.

But if you’ve done any digging into this guy, you’ll know that sounds pretty shady...

Dan had over 33 million followers on Instagram at his peak.

With so much attention, it was easy to get paid for promos

He claims at one point he turned down 7-figure promos for NFTs:

Bilzerian captured attention with girls and his playboy image.

Then parlayed that attention into other opportunities:

• Ignite (weed company)

• Real estate firms

• Global co-owned properties

He launched Ignite in 2017 and used it to fund some INSANE purchases.

Dan’s spending was outrageous

– $843,000 in ‘company expenses’ included:

$40,000 rock-climbing wall

$15,000 Ignite ping-pong table

$130,340 Bahamas photoshoot

Here are some of the other ridiculous expenses:

In 2018, Dan started posting this $65,000,000 dream house on IG – creating the illusion that he bought it.

(But it was revealed later that he lied)

As of 2024, he’s estimated to have a net worth of over $200 million.

The thing is:

Most people don’t buy Dan’s poker-millionaire facade.

Though he doesn’t like to admit it, his father, Paul, was a Wall Street corporate raider who set up trust funds for both of his kids.

Paul also wasn’t a stranger to the odd run-in with the SEC.

Dan’s father was sentenced to 4 years in prison.

And before the judgment he claimed bankruptcy.

But just 2 years earlier he admitted his net worth was over $80 million…

Something was off.

The SEC won a $62 Million judgment against Paul.

But Dan and the Bilzerian family STILL managed to live comfortably in their Florida mansion and avoid paying the SEC the $62M.

And Dan didn’t speak on this until 2021.

Dan said his trust fund wasn’t as big as people thought.

He claimed it dwindled from $96 million to $1.5 million.

$1.5 million might not be as much as his claimed poker-winnings – but it’s not exactly a BAD financial foundation to start with...

And that’s my point here:

You don’t need to pretend to be a rags-to-riches story.

You don’t need to claim you’re ‘self-made’ when you’re clearly not.

Own it.

I know I have a privileged position.

But why try and be something I’m not?
