Similarly to Tom Dwan, Dan Bilzerian is into high roller games of poker. Actually, it may serve as a trigger for his success in the game and high-class winnings.

Along with the gambling success, Dan Bilzerian holds an active acting career and is known to be a social media influencer. Probably, due to this reason the audience frequently entitles him as an Instagram King. By the way, at present, the number of followers in Dan’s Instagram is more than 30 million.

Early Life

Tampa Bay, Florida is the place of birth of the further poker player, actor and influencer. Dan was born on December 7, 1980. Dan’s mother’s name is Terri Steffen. His dad’s name is Paul Bilzerian, and during the first years of Dan’s life he had been an outstanding private equity and corporate takeover specialist.

What is more, Dan’s father had got his millionaire status by the age of 36.

As for the siblings, Bilzerian has a brother, Adam, who is also a poker player, similarly to Dan.

It may seem that Dan Bilzerian has always lived a luxurious life—in reality, he has not. His dad went bankrupt in 2001, and, as a result, the family happened to have a $140 million worth of debt. Because of this reason, the family was supposed to sell their grandiose 10-bedroom 28,000 square foot mansion. 

However, Paul Bilzerian started a trust fund for both of his sons, so a big part of the money went to the brothers. But up to now, there is no exact information on the amounts.

In any case, it is evident that the fortune of Dan is the main source of his income, so he unlikely lives for his dad’s funds. 

Dan Bilzerian’s Early Career

Dan’s major is Criminology and Business. After 2000, he graduated from the University of Florida. He entered the university after being kicked out of the Navy for the safety violation on the gun range.

Poker Career

If you are curious how old Dan was when he got the status of a professional poker player, we know the answer—he was 29. Yes, back in 2009, Dan took part in one of the most reputable poker-related events in the world—2009 World Series of Poker Main Event.

That time Dan was reported to win as much as $36,000. 

After these winnings Dan’s success did not leave him, and the first event’s winning was literally tripled in the successive games.

In 2011, a scandal related to Den took place. That year Dan and a couple of other poker players known globally, were requested to pay back all of the winnings from the 2011 event. It was due to the usage of the Ponzi scheme by artist Bradley Ruderman. The latter was put into jail.

One of Dan’s poker records is playing poker with the $5,000–$10,000 stakes. The winning he obtained was equal to $10.8 million. What is remarkable is that it was made within just a single game.

In 2014, Bilzerian made another record winning $50M within the year!

However, it is not all like that with fortune—he also underwent some failures. In total, the researchers point out the rate of $3M being lost for poker games by Dan.

By December 2014, the bomb-making charges had served as another reason for Dan to have been arrested. It happened at LEX Airport. He was released the same day. Nevertheless, he had to pay a $17 million fine for the illegal actions.

However, the most loud scandal took place in August 2018. That time Dan and his family decided to move to Armenia. The purpose was to gain Armenian residence. But the behaviour of the player was absolutely uncontrolled: he shot from the weapons at the shooting range.
