'Instagram's Playboy King' is a multimillionaire poker champ with a penchant for the finer things in life. Dan Bilzerian's snaps of partying with near-naked women, riding in supercars and posing. Social media legend and poker player Dan Bilzerian is one of the most high profile members of the GGPoker team. Bilzerian is best known for his lifestyle-themed Instagram page, which boasts more than 32 million followers, but he is also recognized in the poker community for competing in some of the biggest poker games in the world. Dan Bilzerian is an American venture capitalist, poker player and film actor which has an estimated net worth of $150 million. Dan Bilzerian was notable as a poker player which he won million of dollars in several poker competition. He is the co-founder of an online poker room, Victory Poker. Bilzerian finished 180th and collected a prize of $36,000. His performance at the 2009 WSOP led to him signing a sponsorship with Victory Poker. An online card room that is no longer in operation.

In addition to poker, Bilzerian is known for being an “influencer.” His not-safe-for-work social media pages have earned him the nickname, the King of Instagram. The 39-year-old has nearly 33 million followers on the platform, where he is known for showing off his exotic travels, collection of weapons, stacks of cash, and seemingly endless stream of half-naked women.
Bilzerian has been involved in numerous prop bets over the years with other members of the poker community, most notably when he won nearly $1 million by cycling from Las Vegas to Los Angeles in less than two days. He even hired Lance Armstrong to help him train for the feat.
He has appeared in a handful of movies, some of which he helped finance, including Lone Survivor, Extraction, War Dogs, and Olympus Has Fallen.
Bilzerian has also had more than his fair share of legal issues. He is the CEO of a company that sells e-cigarettes and CBD oils, although according to a Forbes report, he is currently being sued by the company’s former president. Bilzerian is accused of fraud, having used the businesses resources to fund his lavish lifestyle.
He was also sued in 2014 for $1 million by a model after an alleged brawl in a Miami nightclub, and was later sued by a porn actress after he threw her off the roof of a house and into a pool. Later that year, he was arrested for bomb-making charges, and had to release a public service announcement to avoid prison time.
The news of his signing was polarizing, to say the least. After numerous players called out the site for hiring someone with a questionable history with women, Bilzerian himself proved their point by calling one female pro a “hoe” (sic).
GGPoker making all the moves! When it comes to poker and mainstream reach, there isn’t a bigger influencer in the world.
Welcome aboard @DanBilzerian.
Stay tuned for some sick promotions… https://t.co/ReEZ7zUtnd

Who Is Dan Bilzerian

Yuck.
This guy’s audience is a bunch of toxic losers – literally the worst kind we could add to our community.
Feels extra gross given how he treats women like literal props.
Super disappointing GG, lot of us loved what you’d been doing.

Lots of people are saying mean things about Dan Bilzerian, but I’ll try to add some positivity. He is truly gifted at getting other people to make bad decisions.

This is funny but the fact is @DanBilzerian has made more money in poker than the entire squad of Truck Drivers. Now that's mainly due to game selection but still #1 Armenian poker player. https://t.co/746reCYhdu

I have a good idea for a new GG ambassador. He will be jobless on Jan 21 and he appeals to the right demographic.
