Who is Dan Bilzerian? - Page 4

scumbag definitely not the right word choice for him

that word is more appropriate for someone like Chino Reem

I can't really fault people for liking him though, I think that letter is one of the best things I've ever read.

He doesnt illegally uses his wealth, it was acquired illegaly by his father, and yeah he "showcases" his life style, we already stablished that he is an egocentrical edonist.

He is probably less wealthy than what most people think and the most important thing is that he doesnt have any means to keep increasing it considerably so he is probably going to run out of money relatively soon, he is no Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg.

As I said he definitelly isnt an upstanding guy with an unquestionable integrity, but you are using the word scumbag way too liberally in here.

anyone who's active on Facebook/instagram is doing the same thing as him aka attention whoring. He just gets more attention because his life is more interesting then yours

SOOOOO TURE! This is so true, every time I log on to facebook everybody there posting attention whoring, jealousy inducing stuff. At-least this guy is funny. My general rule for social media is that if it is not funny or intellectually informative i block the post. And every time i get around doing that more than half of my "friends" posts are blocked.

I think people who dislike this guy are people who are actually bitter about him having a life they wish they had. I actually think the guy is awesome, I actually have no interest in living like that at this stage of my life, but I think it is entertaining and funny.

Edit: If what Daut is saying about his games are true, i am sure as shit bitter about not being at those games instead of him. So that part of his life, I would take any day.

He posts pictures of racks of 100k chips he is about to go donk off like its nothing; 10mil plus sitting in front of him. His dad could easily be sitting on a billion through all the money that was stashed, trusted, and spread out. What you suggest maybe be true because we really have no way of knowing but I think it more likely that he has plenty of money and likely will not just end up quickly blowing it all.

Throwing 19 year olds off roof tops is pretty fucking bad however you want to look at it. It isn't exactly paragliding or bungeejumping.

Its a reckless move, not a douchebag one.

the thing was planned by hustler its not like he grabbed her and decided to throw her off the roof into the pool, now THAT would be a douchebag move.

What his dad stole was a little bit over 100M if I remember correctly, he is definitelly not a billionare, the planes, choppers and boats are all rented and that money wont last decades at this pace for sure

We definitely have different definitions of douchebag moves. If you don't see it that way I don't think it is worth explaining. Just going to agree to disagree on that one. Your example would be attempted manslaughter slightly beyond the douchebag regions.

So naz, if you were contracted by a porn magazine to go party with some hot slutty girls with the caveat that you had to throw one in a pool for a photo shoot, you would refuse?

I don't think you would.

As for throwing a girl into a pool being attempted manslaughter... If you don't see how that's completely false, I don't know what to tell you.

Maybe the laws are different in europe, I dunno. Throwing a girl onto a driveway from a roof with the intention to harm her (obviously), now that would be considered attempted manslaughter where I live.

edit - ah shit, it would be attempted murder actually. Now you have me wondering haha, is attempted manslaughter a real thing? Google, educate me!

I can agree that I should have said "scumbag" and not "total scumbag"? I dunno exactly where the line between douche and scumbag goes but imo he's planted on the scum side of things? I understand if you disagree but whatever, I think there's nothing admirable about this guy other than that he's funny.

And yes, I can agree that many guys who are "hating" on this guy are doing it out of jealousy. I also believe that a lot of people engaged on FB / instagram are doing the same thing just way less entertaining - and I don't part-take in either. I have no problems accepting that he prolly has more interesting stories and funny, fucked up experiences in the past year - hell, probably month- than most people can rack up in a lifetime. But personally? I'm happy about my lack of heart attacks, and I'm happy that I'm actually able to derive happiness from sitting at home petting my dog playing TBS games while my wife is giving me a hug while standing behind me. It might not be as good of a gif as throwing a naked 19 year old off a rooftop, but I genuinely believe it is a better life.

Also, in what fucked up world are you guys living where $100 million is not a stupid rich amount of money? Seriously? If he lives for another 70 years, which seems entirely unlikely, and if he doesn't invest any of it, not even putting it in the bank to get interest, he can spend about $4000 every single fucking day for the rest of his life. I really do think that if you have this type of money and you don't feel any social responsibility and you're genuinely happy about spending it on coke while posing with guns and pornstars then fuck it, you're somewhat of a scumbag in my eyes. Maybe not a total one.

That general rule looks suspiciously the opposite of what you practice when posting in the ROFL thread.

Wish I had a dog and a wife!!!


But I recently got a plant xD

I'm gonna take a picture of it, put it up on facebook!!!

@liquiddrone.

100 mill IS a ton of money. A shitton. However, I wouldn't just donate 50 mill to some charity 'just cuz'. I'd make sure everyone in my family is *well* taken care of, forever, my closer uncles/aunts/cousins, etc. And I'd fly my friends all around the world with me to party. And my family. It would be one big ass entourage.

Once those obligations are met, yes, sure, I'd absolutely be philanthropic.

i feel like we should reserve judgement - we don't personally know him. a lot of what he does is probably for image, showing off a life and life style, but i would bet large sums of money he still has his insecurities and problems like the rest of us.

how hard do you think it must be for him to truly trust someone, and have a true friend who isn't going to try to exploit him in some fashion, either for perks like riding on the jet or hoping he blows a ton of money on you, etc.

all the girls are likely money hungry, right?

he poses for pictures with guns and his cat, or model hookers, etc.

now i am not "betting" betting, but i would not question that our own whoosel probably has an overall happier life than bilzerian. whoosel has a wife who loves him, beautiful kids, a nice house, and real friends.

i would bet he doesnt go to bed wondering if the woman beside him will be there when he wakes up, and he doesnt have to pay for love, or friendship, and he doesnt have to try to show off to the world for people to think he is cool.


let's take him for what he is - dan is entertaining, and he shares his wild life for the sake of entertainment for us, and to make himself feel good. if thats what it takes, so what?



personally, i would go to the hustler party and if they wanted me to throw a pornstar off the roof, well, i might decline....okay, i'd decline, but i am also not dan bilzerian and do not need to show out to the world.

i also tend to agree with naz - in the moment maybe it's easy to get caught up, but naz seems to have excellent judgement and if you really think about it, you are throwing a person off of a roof, there is certainly risk there, its not like there were big blow up cushions to prevent injury - she legit could have died, or been paralyzed, etc.

also if we look at the girl, she is certainly not exercising the best judgement, and her own lack of common sense doesnt excuse ours.

ok, random 2 cents chipped in and over

i met his brother nestegg. maybe the biggest douche ive ever met in my life. so its hard to imagine dan isnt or wasnt at some point as well

lol many of us met nestegg at clays bday party at palms, he had his gf there and hired up a bunch of hookers to come to the party
