Dan Bilzerian, The King of Instagram, an apparent professional poker player living a lifestyle that most could only imagine. From a military vet, to one of Instagram's most followed, Dan Bilzerian has certainly had somewhat of an interesting journey. The only catch - Is his version of the story congruent with reality? Is he as authentic as he says he is? What is the true nature of Dan Bilzerian's life? What's happening with his finances? Is his company Ignite going bankrupt? This is the rise and fall, of the man who built his life on a lie, Dan Bilzerian.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, Sunny XO ❤ - บันเทิง
This should be shown to everyone who gets depressed looking at the lives of Instagram influencers. 99% of the time, it’s all fake.
so weird seeing you here. i have been watching you since i was like fucking 12 lmfaoo
i agree. Thats probably the #1 ranked global reason for depression too. But once youre past it. its all cringe.
Oh yeah what's fake about living in a 200k a month LA Compound with a bunch of models? Maybe he doesn't have the money to feed that lifestyle but hey he still did it
@@metitanacona8495 Because he didn't own any of it, the home and models were rented.
@@metitanacona8495 who cares if you have it for a few months you should build so that you can live like that for the rest of your life.
Dan was definitely the kid in middle school “yeah I have a model girlfriend but she goes to another school so you don’t know her”
Dan probably was also the type to tell everyone that he is a millionaire and when everyone found out it wasn’t true he would try and get everyone to feel bad for him lol
She lives in Canada too.
The Niagara Falls area.
Either that or he was Captain Hero in disguise 🤣🤣🤣
All my gfs went to other schools tho cuz i never liked dating girls in my school. I knew they loved gossiping about the guys they date and i was a fairly private guy.
If I had a dollar for every time a trust fund baby said they made it via hard work and dedication, my children would be trust fund babies
Lmao
He worked hard in the gym which is better than most
@Jon Doe Are you 100% sure that 'roids played no part in his efforts to bulk up? Lol oh how naive the world really is smh....
@@Josh-xd9mj Josh thinks steroids automatically make you ripped😂😂
@cartiercity51 Do you get a good workout jumping to conclusions and being incorrect? Just curious.
We rented out his penthouse a few years ago for my brothers bachelor party, he wanted 200k a night and we laughed. He kept coming at us with lower offers and his manager settled for 20k a night which is about what the top tier Las Vegas suites go for. After we left he tried saying we stole a bunch of shit, we did a walkthrough before and after we left so he dropped the suit. Dude is a joke and is hurting for money now.
Wow!
@@Maddellann your name breaks my heart lol. The love of my life was named Elizabeth. And it’s like I can’t escape that name. I flew back to Florida because my mom got put on hospice care and her nurse is named Elizabeth. I know this is random but is the universe trying to tell me something?
@@TheBigChadI’m so sorry she broke your ♥️…It’s a beautiful name, isn’t it? The universe is beautifully mysterious!
Why would you even give him your money after he tried to scam you for 10x what you ended up getting?
Crazy shit....
@@Maddellann yall better get married😳
dude would have been so much better off just being honest: "my dad left me a bunch of money and I like to party". He wanted too badly to be seen as something he wasn't, though.
His old man was convicted fraudster tier bullshit artist. Maybe theres a gene
I suspect that his dad had lots of money that he wasn't supposed to have, considering he was made to pay back his entire net worth to the government. I guess there was millions of illegally gained dollars behind all of this. He had to come up with some scam to launder it somehow.
@@TheFatController. he stole $400 million and only had to pay back $63 million I think, so plenty left to illegally launder. Also he hasn't paid back the fine yet either
@@TheFatController. yep. Whole thing looks like it’s just one big tax evasion scam.
Well said
Any person actually making a living on poker alone DEFINITELY knows how much they've won and lost...
exactly
100%
for me, 60 quid xD
@@AvengedKittyLP Lmao legend.
Not really, I think there is a video on professional poker players and how they don't actually win much from their actual winnings, as they have investors/spotters, who fund their games, but take a big portion of their winnings, that way the poker player doesn't actually lose their own money should they hit a rough patch. And due to the risk, the person with points or funding them gets a big portion of the winnings because they could lose all their money at any time, the pro is happy to do this too, as they can continue playing win or lose. However, Dan doesn't seem to know the in and outs of actually being a professional poker player.
One of the recruits in my platoon (Marine Corps) was able to finish The Crucible on a clearly broken ankle. We were less than a week from graduation, TC was our final exercise (pretty damn brutal), so we banded together and helped carry his load and assist when necessary.
Dude was built like a truck and had endurance for days, and he barely made it. None of this makes me an expert on shit, but having said this I find it remarkably hard to believe Dan was able to survive Hell Week with a stress fracture in each leg. Injuries like that aren't a matter of pain tolerance, but inevitably not being able to use the affected limb in any capacity.
See? You guys helped each other out. Seals are a team. This guy is a self-centered loner. His story is BS.
Oh yes - he is clearly a compulsive liar and we can’t take a word he says as truth
He just wrapped the stress fracture in beard hair
And if I did understand correctly he (allegedly) was sent back to do the whole Hell Week from Day 1 2 more times after that. Very believable yes
Two stress fractures combined with hell week would have his legs wobbling like loose Lego for the rest of his life
The only thing worse than never having the money to live that kind of lifestyle is LOSING that kind of lifestyle. That he's losing/lost everything does put a smile on my face.
dude, he is living life! You must be so sad to see that
@@franktastisk7526 hes a trust fund baby living off his dads criminally sourced money. Thats sad
Right it’s not like he wasn’t rich holy imagine inheritance of 6 million the f a. G got greeeeedy lol could live nice retirement fr
Paying women to pretend to be interested in you has to be one of the saddest, most insecure things I’ve ever seen...
Definitely. Accumulating expensive material possessions - which it turns out aren’t yours to begin with - is a sign of a huge emotional void in his life. But then again, look who his father is. Like father, like son x200.
not really look at rap videos n sht. it sells thats why.
@@ArtyCraftZ if you do it right the women you date will have a good job and take care of you as much as you take care of them lol.
@@eyetvideos467 Read my comment again. The vast majority of men pay for sex through dates and gifts than end up being about as expensive as the models hired by Dan. You're probably no different.
@@ArtyCraftZ read my comment again. If you do it right you'll be dating a woman who spends money on you as well. My girlfriend of 5 years easily spends as much money on me as I do on her. Try getting your hired models to spend money on you.
You're not paying money for sex. You're paying for an intimate experience with another human. And you don't have to pay for dates, going dutch on new dates is common and not going to prevent you from getting laid if you're a good dude.
I think you have a misconception of dating.
Its simple... His dad stole money, hid said money and gave it to his son who blew it all saying he "Made it himself"
That's pretty much what it is. 🤣 👍 ✌️
Ding ding ding. Winner, you got it.
How that trust fund didn't get RICO'd is mind blowing. They didnt deserve a dime of it.
Donald Trump
Yep pretty cut and dry
He probably did not break his legs, it sounds like he had shin splints. This is very different, and not all that uncommon in new soldiers.
Failed two days before graduation. He’s so full of shit. He’s the guy that says he got in a fight with his drill sergeant so he failed
Im suprised you didn't mention the lone survivor situation. Basically he paid a studio like 1 million so that he could be in a war movie lone survivor as a backround guy with a couple lines of dialouge but they cut his time down so he legit sued them. And the worst part is the movie was made to honor 19 dead american special forces operators
I mean in this case Dan is right.
If he had a contract he was entitled to sue
In SEAL training it’s externally rare that they roll you back to phase one if you are about to graduate . Worst case you get rolled to the beginning of last phase. A lot of his military training story is not adding up
Right that shit is not right
He is a liar
Definitely true on what you said. He’s posing as a vet
@@okamusubi4006 no, he did serve in the navy but he wasn't a SEAL.
Get Buds on this guys ass
Dan’s eyes betray him every time he talks. Imagine living an entire life filled with lies. So exhausting!
Some people are pathologically incapable of stopping unfortunately
So true about the eyes!
You can tell he doesn’t even believe his lies, there r ppl who believe their own lies but Dan knows how bad they sound
He is so caught up in his own lies, he actually believes them.
i find that to be such a bizarre habit like bitch just be honest.
I worked in a VERY large multi national company doing IT in London. Every Friday everybody would go to a bar and the sales guys would be there in their expensive clothes, jewellery etc. Every conversation was about how rich they were and how much money they make and 'let me show you a picture of my porsche' etc etc. Impressive stuff. However, I was a little older than the other guys and can spot BS from years of experience. One thing all these guys had in common is that they would always try to get you to pay for their drinks and the drinks of their friends. I litterally had one guy tell me how successfu he was for 115 minutes and nearly get his face punched by a maintenance guy who he told 'I pay your wages'. After 10 minutes he asked if he could borrow money for a bus home!!
Another time I was in Phoenix club central London, Phoenix Street' with Kerin - a Kiwi girl - lawyer - who spent the whole time telling me about her money and lifestyle and expensive holidays and how her handbag cost £2000 (as if a man is going to be impressed by a handbag OR its price - LOL). At the end of the evening, she sidled up all flirty to me and asked if she could 'borrow'£20 for a taxi home to her Baker Street apartment ("where HG Wells had lived"). I said 'I dont lend random girls money but I'll buy your handbag for £20'. She wasnt happy. I then explained that she had spent the whole time telling me how rich she was and now was asking me for money? She wasnt happy.
I could give more examples but basically, beware of such people. Whether they are really honestly rich or not, they are only interested in getting free money from idiots and that is how they maintain their lifestyle. There is no shortage of idiots who want to be associated with 'successful' people. Beware.
I’m still dubious about his military ‘career’, how extensive his leg injuries were, his story about attempting SEAL training etc. Very little about his life we know of has been anything but a lie.
Combat vet here... He never served active duty ever... His military jargon or "lack there of" is the give away.
I remember the first time I saw a picture of this guy, surrounded by women, I was like, “Well we can all pay for prostitutes to hang out with if we want, mate.”
From what i understand his military career is complete bulshit. From whats been explained to me is you cant just join the military and go straight into navy seal training and then you cant just quit the navey when you fail to complete the seal training. Not sure how true that is its just what my marine buddy told me.
@@thisfool89 Yeah. I’m not sure if there is a direct entry pathway for SEALs or if you can just walk away from the Navy if you fail.
@@gcm747 either way the dude is a complete fraud.
The fact he shapes his beard to make it look like he's got a epic jawline is hilarious
I can't believe the comments are still going great after all this time 😂
Lmao
he wants that chad look.
That's the whole point of beards--nature's way to enhance the jawline. In many traditional cultures every man wears a beard and shaving is considered childish and unmanly. In classical Greece trimmed chiseled beards were the standard, and they laid the foundations of Western political theory, science, and philosophy. The 300 Spartans did not shave--they trimmed their beards to enhance their jawlines. Don't let Gillette dictate your view of masculinity.
@Proper and you're ignoring sexual dimorphism and biological sex signals. There are countless millions of women with a beard fetish who won't date clean-shaved men--this popular preference goes back eons, and in many societies all men grow their beards. Classical ancient Greeks depilated their body hair and trimmed their beards, but did not shave their face. OTOH, men who like bearded women are extremely rare. The whole point of the beard is to create the illusion of a bigger, more masculine jawline, to impress other people, especially women. Otherwise beards just get in the way of eating and fighting.
And here i am patchy af have to shave or i look like a crackhead. But beards are itchy dunno how yal gottem

It's a very subtle but important slip of the mask when someone says "I try to be authentic"
Authentic is something you just are, it's something you literally never have to try to be
What they're really saying is "I try to make people think I'm authentic"
Yeah, true. Authentic people don't feel the need to state it.
It's like people who say they don't give a fuck. Except, they very clearly give a fuck about you knowing that they don't give a fuck lol.
Yes I also heard that in the video.
I mean tbh he is pretty authentic. He sounds like a douche and he is authentically a douche
@@niallreid7664 I know a few folk like that, they post on social media all the time about how much they don't give a fuck what people think of them and their "realness" to the point it's blatantly obvious their fragile psychological state absolutely DEPENDS on what people think of them
When you really get down to the point here, why would ANY OF THIS matter to YOU? I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand how people use social media to sort of live out their fantasy lives, and really, it shouldn't have any effect whatsoever on any of you, as you aren't physically or emotionally invested in some random social media star, and if you are, that's really on you, not anyone else. I'm not saying any of this because I'm some fan of Dan, I really don't care much either way about him. I'm saying this because, who really cares?! He's not doing anything that should matter to you, at least not above and beyond the entertainment factor. Besides, haven't any of you ever heard the expression "Fake It 'Till You Make It"?! NOWHERE is THAT philosophy more prevalent and true, than on social media, these platforms are the IDEAL tools for embracing that strategy, and you simply CANNOT deny that it's worked wonders for countless online personalities these days. You don't have to like it, you don't have to watch it, you don't have to respect it or believe in it, so there's really no reason to even be here, or around him online, if you simply do not like the man. I guess I just don't understand why any of you would even care, and like I said, care more than what entertainment it might be bringing you. It's not like you're FORCED to support him or follow him, so what's the problem here lol? I think a lot of it comes from envy to be honest, comes from resentment. Because whether his wealth truly is or isn't what it's made to look like, he's still living a life that's supplied him with quite a bit of fun and luxury, and I think that frustrates a lot of you. I get it, you're hard working peeps, out there grinding your asses off trying to support your families and loved ones, and then you see someone like this, who's seemingly effortless life has nothing but abundance and opportunity in it, far and away from ANYTHING you've experienced, and whether you personally long for the same sort of materialistic lifestyle or not doesn't really matter, as he comes across as having the means to do what YOU would personally do, and he doesn't, and you still can't. Anyway, like I said, I'm not a fan of the guy, I think he would be very hard to be around for any extended amount of time lol, but other than that, you peeps should just get on with your own lives, stop hating on others who are doing the same, and just be happy damn it lol....
never trust a guy who trims his beard to look like a chiseled jaw line
I have the same beard but I'm a regular Dad of two Teens. Life is good yet money comes slow
He’s like phineas from phinease and ferb. Both very angular faces. Only differences is phineas is actually hot
@Birch Bark Spice women don't love him (he literally pays them to hangout) men like you love him. He's a holographic giga-chad -- an illusion -- his "muscles" are silicone, his hair is dyed, his beard is painstakingly manicured and everything around him is on loan, including his nice clothes...he's as fake as the action figures his biggest fans likely still collect.

I saw an instagram photo with him and these young girls (that don't look 18) going into his "private jet". It then shows them surrounding him and not ONE girl looked happy to be there. It felt like they were paid or forced to be there.
Excellent video as always, but there’s one thing that you missed. As it turns out, Dan lied about having broken his legs, and most of what he said surrounding his SEAL training. People who actually trained with him have come forward and called him out on all of it.
I used to do interviews for poker and Dan Blizerian was watching one of his friends (Jay Farber) play at the World Series of Poker final table. I asked him if he wanted to do a quick interview with me. He had a hot chick on his arm and was like, "Nahh, I don't think so, maybe later." I think he expected me to beg or something? I don't know. I just said, "ok cool." And moved on to Jay Farber's other friends. I started an interview with a couple of them and was talking into the camera saying "Hey guys I'm here with XX and XX who rooting on Jay Farber," then I turn to face the guys I'm interviewing, and Dan Blizerian is standing in the shot. I was confused so I angled myself so the camera wouldn't get him, but then he wedged his way into the interview. Think he just turned me down cuz he wanted to look cool in front of his girl, but when it came down to it, he wanted the attention more. Fascinating.
Wow
"Fascinating.." Ha,ha,ha! Like some unusual specimen under a magnifying glass...

@@jamiewulfyr4607 he is fascinating.
I'm a guy that you'd probably say fits right in his target audience...and I think he's the most insufferable tool I've ever seen. But I'm also 37.
It makes me question who they hell is watching him and why do they associate with him?
The answer is simple, it's little boys who are trying to "find" themselves as men. Feeling insecure about their masculinity they feel the need to clutch on to a hyper-identity.
And in steps Dan
What insecure guys don't get is you don't need to prove to me you're a man, the more you try, the more the reverse effect occurs.
How would talking to you make him look "not cool"? He probably saw you were picking steam and getting a successful overall interview session with other people so he wanted in on the potential attention your released report would be getting.
@@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810 This comment proves that good, mature men still exist 💗
Dan's personality can't be summed up more than during the Las Vegas shooting. A horrible tragedy, he was there when it was happening and all he did was film himself trying to be a hero by pestering cops for a gun. That says alot about the kind of person he is.
Yo what? That's wild, who is this poser?
holy shit he really did that? the nerve to even ask
Isn't he ex military and was trained for these kind of situations? (I don't know enough about how US military works and what training he received - hence my question)
@@speerspider he did enter military training and apply for the navy seal course but he dropped out and how long he was in is dubious.

@@kyleaustin5859 that’s kinda the whole point tough. My family is not rich, but I was fortunate enough to learn a thing or two from some of their rich bosses and friends who had rich parents and what not. They all had one thing in common- property. 20 years ago my parents “paid” (with a loan from a bank of course) $77,500 for their house. It’s now worth over $220,000 without any serious renovations or anything. That’s happening all over the country right now. Banks, PEFs, HFs are buying up property by the billions to sit on it and rent it out, and generally pay scum/slum lord property management companies to handle the upkeep and maintenance.
@@-Apollo-13 you obviously havent learnd anything from rich bosses.
a house went from $77,500 to $220,000 in 20 years and you think that was a good investment? This is a pretty bad investment. Aside that it took freaking 20 years to only triple the price, do understand that this house had property taxes every year, maintenance, etc. You could have just put your money into any major bank and have had a similar return with almost no risk, and no expenses. And they could have become multimillionaires if they successfully invested just 10k into any of successful companies of a mutual fund
And do realize, $1 in 2000 is $1.69 today. So just from inflation, a $75k house in 2000 would cost about 120k
I had friends who worshipped this guy 10 years ago (And one of them still does). I always had the impression of "trust fund kid" because they all behave the exact same way after they get a big sum of money and usually end up broke.

He can also write a book on how he almost became a navy seal!
And it's just blank lol
Gives me rdr2 vibes lol
It's interesting how people are fixating on whether or not he actually had the money. He still had someone paying for it all. It's not like just lying about being rich will allow anyone to live that lifestyle.

I finished the last part of army infantry training with stress fractures behind my toes on both feet. It happened on the road March out to the two week final training exercise. I knew if I said anything I’d be recycled and have to do it again with the next class and my family had already got airline tickets and made arrangements to come for my graduation. So I just walked on the edges of my feet for the whole exercise, training and road March back. When I did tell the drill sergeant about my feet. He said I could go to the doc which was a short one mile walk away where they said to wear soft shoes for a week and gave me crutches. Lol. I didn’t wanna embarass myself and get held back so I pushed on and that was that
I went through Ft. Benning in July 1983 and retired in 2009 (all as an Infantryman) I started as an 11H then later our MOS was folded in to 11B. I know a lot of men who did like you did, they sucked it up and CM’ed. that way of thinking is how I made it to retirement and it’s hard to open up to a doctor since it’s goes against my way of thinking.
I hope life has treated you well over the years.
SFC DeVos, K
Thing is Dan had enough money to literally live a comfortable life. It’s absurd to me that he jeopardized the fortune he had simply to be popular online.
Yep, literally.
Not absurd at all. It makes a tonne of sense with the rise of social media over the past decade and a bit. I’m sure 90% of the population would do the exact same thing.
He has a lot of money, his dad gave him $12 millions when he was only a teenager. That would probably worth around $25 mill today.
Not as much as he claimed to be but still very well off.
That is the only interesting thing about this story, he could have thrown his money in an index fund and lived happily ever after. I am sort of assuming that is what his brother did.
But Dan decided to throw it down the drain to pat his ego.
He got hooked, to much ego is intoxicating. That's why cops often change into power-hungry assholes
Between 25 and 30 he became a millionaire? Oh you mean the age you get access to your trust fund? Lol 😂
What a coincidence...
And then says he won those millions through playing poker, which conveniently cannot be verified for obvious reasons.
Keep in mind that there are people in this thread that are saying shit like this about Dan:
‘’This guy had a sad upbringing, a father that didn’t turn out as birthdays or was never around. A terrible role model and probably a lot to do with the way it turned out. Not an excuse but I can see a sad boy in his eyes that still looking for love and approval’’ lol
If I had to guess, there is something more going on here and it involves his dad. The company, Ignite, was obviously designed to fail. I think it set up to launder money and all of stories about poker was a quick, easy way to explain where he got some money. In my opinion, the money he has is very real, but it's NOT his money. The money came from his Dad, and it's more than likely money that he stashed away and hid from the Government. Something like this was the ONLY way for him to launder and gain access to it without getting caught..
@@steverogers7601 same
Tbh, I relate to his military experience. When you're in training, you can get kicked out and rolled back and all that for anything, your fate is in the hands of the instructors. They can sandbag your process cuz they don't like you. They'll lose your paperwork, forget things, ignore you, make your life miserable, because the more setbacks you have, the more likely you are to become unmotivated and give them a reason to kick you out.
But he was a degenerate

Nobody with a jawline like Dan can be trustworthy.
RuneScape soundtracks in the back the only reason I subscribed... your content is also dope xD
I feel so bad for the guy. Having everyone around you paid to be there, having everything in the world in terms of material wealth & pleasure but still being unhappy. He could have had an awesome life & helped a lot of people & had many good friends but his ego ruined him.
Wrong. His father ruined him.
@@WardenOfTerra he's responsible for who he is in spite of his father.
@@WardenOfTerra His father stole a bunch of money from a bunch of people so him and his brother could be set up for life -- he wasted that.
Those are all reasons to feel bad for everyone except him
You don’t feel bad…you’re just looking for reasons to hate on a man who built a hell of a life bc it helps you justify your shithole of a life. There’s a reason you care about his life lol. Funny thing is you don’t even know him, you just see what he puts online. You should really look in the mirror and figure out why you even care..
This video is just like a Netflix documentary but even better.
That Would Explain The Netflix Ads
Yeah true ngl
That’s disrespectful to sunny
The only difference is he's not leaving any details out.
But it has more personality because it was made by one person
Great video and also love the RuneScape background music ahaha really hit a nostalgic note
I checked this channel out from a review or something. Love you runescape vibe. I've only see a couple of videos but this channel is ideal for me. Gg my man
Apparently he got dropped from BUD/s not because "the instructors didn't like him," but because of some sort of incident on the range, probably flagging the instructors or other classmates. There's also rumors that he fell asleep during a land nav exercise, leading to the whole platoon to have to go search for him.
the way i read the story about it is that he had a unsafe weapon discharge in a range exercise. So probably, "safety you weapon" doesn't safety and it goes off. From any reading I have done on Navy seal training they don't take those too lightly. Also, in an interview, Dan talked about how he finished hell week and they sent him back to complete hell week again due to medical reason. Hell week is the end of a phase 1 BUDS training which is all physical. If you finish it, you don't get rolled back to the beginning. You just get rolled back to the next class. They give you time to heel, then you basically kick off phase 2 training with class 223 rather that 222. Admin rollback would basically be you are getting kicked out. As for the sleeping on a land Navigation drill, yeah i could see that causing them to kick you out.
@@tylersmith1756 . I question this don't you have to qualify to get into seal training to. oh is a free for all who wants to be a seal.
@@edwingonzalez3703 it used to be that you had to join the navy the apply to a be a seal and they would pick you. Now you can join the navy with the intention of joining the seals. You still need to go through navy basic training but you are basically sent to the next available BUDs training class after you finish navy basic training. As for qualifying for BUDs and Navy seal training. Its mostly physically based. I can't remember the numbers but its something like be able to 40 push ups, 40 sits up, 10 chin ups and run a mile in a certain amount of time. So in a way, kind of free for all. Any books I have read from former seals make it out that seal training is very hard physically, but nothing that an 20 or 30 something reasonably fit man couldn't do. Its more that the tasks are done one after the other. So its more a mental game, if you can just take each task as its own task, and not worry about the next task, then most people make it through.
@@edwingonzalez3703 I'm Australian but teir 1 SF units tend to be comparable. There'd definitely be a barrier test. After that there's a selection course. Here's the funny part, you can pass the selection course and still be rejected based solely on the instructors not wanting to work with you.
This is all based on SAS but I don't think the Seals would operate that differently.
@@louisfrost4975 you're correct. Admin evals and peer evals are important. If the admin and/or your peers don't trust you, you're history.
He could've took his trust fund money and led a good life, But instead he started posting everything to Instagram and now is going to lose everything
You make a point if I where to get that kind of money that is what I would do
Sorry if that first comment seemed off I just started watching the vid when I posted that
Did he lose everything though? His dad is an expert and seasoned corporate fraudster. The whole thing smells like a scam to extract investors cash. I bet Dan and his dad sucked all the investors dry and now will close the company. They probably siphoned off 100 millionish from this scheme. This is son following in his dad's footstep of scamming money off people through corporate fraud.
Lol he's not losing anything. He won't be held accountable once he's in another country.
He literally could have had that life and more. He could have bought beachfront property and opened a restaurant/bar. Then funneled his dirty money through it and the IRS wouldn't have gave two shits. All the while he lives his "King of Instagram" lifestyle. Uses all the models and social media to promote his business as a club and bring in shitload of young dumb 20 year old. Hes the unfortunate song bird of our time. A once young man without a positive male role model and a vain grasp on masculinity.
The pride comes before the fall.
I was in the military. You’re not able to enlist without a diploma or a GED. And even GEDs are only a certain percentage of the force
"They punished me because they just don't like me" sort of response is always a big red flag in my book. What would the other person say the problem was if we asked them?
This makes me feel better about my life. I don't have much, but my entire life is not a lie, either..
This made me believe in myself more. Becoming a "Rich Barber" patiently is the key. I invested at 19, and has been almost a decade. I have funds like if I was to work as a doctor or lawyer at 19.
You have more then you think, start with you honesty about yourself. You're probably more honest then most social media ass***es
It’s incredibly fulfilling and just awesomely free when you don’t have to live your life with trying to coverup a lie or trying to avoid being outed, or when you don’t have to lie about who/how you are.
Personal integrity is a valuable possession.

Now we have Andrew Tate.
The problem with "Fooling the Internet" is it's a bunch of kinds and young adults who aren't very bright when it comes to stuff like this.
I never liked this guy, something was always off about him and his attitude of greatness. Never liked it. Too cocky, not humble enough.
Kinda sad how some people can't see right through these types of people's b.s.
I stopped listening to him when he said that he made it through Navy SEAL Hellweek with two broken legs.
He made it through hell week “twice”. Once with “broken legs” AFTER he admitted to his CO on his boat that he had intentionally made his legs worse to get out of the military. His CO responded by sponsoring him back to BUD/S. His whole story is steaming bullshit that would never happen in reality.
I've seen people in wheelchairs with more muscular legs lmao
I know it went from potentially having a stress fracture to having 2 broken legs in the space of a sentence....hilarious
@@GergActual Yep this right here, I don't know of any command in the Navy that would allow this to go unpunished, much less rewarded.

Exactly what I was thinking of 😂 but wait is it not actually based on him?
I went to college with him, knew this ex gf, been to some of his parties, which just were glorified "pre-game" parties for going to before the club and after but aost always got shut down early from fights, college shenanigans, noise, etc.
But he wasn't known as that cool... we saw him as just a party guy who would try so hard to get up with the big club promoters and get the real Gainesville (my hometown and location of UF), the UF star athletes to show up at his parties. This was obv only when he was still at UF.... I forgot abt him til I heard his reputation later on. It was wild but not surprising. He was very charming, salesmanship was great but that's it... surface level excellence only fueled by privilege and lies.
Ps: many of these parties were actually funded (allegedly) by his frat ...... esp during those years at UF, being the #1 Party School, frats were on fire with trying to outdo each other in their parties and events and his frat is notorious for its intense partying also.... so even tho these parties weren't always at the frat house.... it was always obvious it was usually for their promotional benefit not Dan's. But Dan would show off a lot too.
how sad you all are ! Including me for being judgmental.
runescape music towards end really messed with my head. thanks
Dan saying he broke his legs training too hard is the most dork ass Dan thing he could ever say
Well, you can get fractures from over training.
It's called "fatigue fractures".
Stress fractures are possible from overtraining but if you keep going on those they turn into full on breaks and then you don’t train anymore.
100% and no shot he did seal training like that
I know someone who this happened to, its actually quite common in the military. A lot of people jump straight into training and can’t handle the pressure on their legs.
Seriously I did track football, soccer, and cross country from 8th grade till my senior year and not one injury. A few messed up ankles when I stepped wrong but nothing a good stretch couldn't fix. Lol. I should of done military so I could of talked more crab about this dude. Hopefully he gets his shit together. All that money just for a cloud of lies kinda sad lol

while the millionaire has sold his soul for money and does literally anything to gain more of it, from tax evasion to slave labor.

sunnyv2 using old school runescape soundtracks is amazing
Man I was just watching this video and couldn’t help but notice the OSRS music. Amazing.
Imagine if he just took the $16 mil and invested it smartly like a rational human being. He prolly would be set for life by now and actually could live that lavish lifestyle for real rather than faking it for clout
What, you saying he’s a lil bit stoops or somethin?
Yeah, not the most intelligent of our species. You’d think he’d invest what he’s got left when he sees where his road leads, but nope, more chicks and boats is the answer apparently smh
With 16 million he would've been set for life anyway
16 million is nothing when you consider inflation into that, not to mention unforeseen accidents and personal vices.
@@kerosj9975 bro, have you ever owned $16million in your life? I'm assuming no, like most of us. For an average person, $16million is more than enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life I can assure you. Most people have less than a million stashed in their IRA and function just fine
@@cheehee808_ If we're talking being economical with money its a weak "yes". It's just my habit of thinking; why save a million when you can build business systems or passive investments that gives you a million a year?(that will grow on its own) Ofcourse these take decades to make and a lot of failure to make even one a success.
Besides most people can't really control themselves when there's a 16 million sitting in their banks(that gets harder when you get married or have children). There's a statistic I read before that most people living in cities have an average 1-2 major accidents or diseases in their lifetime that'll cost you between 300k-2 million each. Not to mention inflation that decreases the value of your money 5-8 percent a year, currently you've got a projected 50% loss in value in just 4 years to inflation because Biden's printing money like nuts, so that 16 mil? will be 8 mil in just 4 years or even lower(I'm talking about its market value btw, you'll still have 16 mil but its buying power will be less). Unless you're a person with already extremely good spending habits, a stable job and you have the power to predict the future to a T then yea you can make 16 million work.
Dan Bilzerian is the best example of a spoiled kid who, in order to get validation from others, constantly lies and makes up stories about his life so he can feel better about himself. And it's crazy to think that many people look up to this guy.
It’s really a sad indicator of the moral bankruptcy of our consumer culture that someone like Dan bilzerian is what a lot of young men want to become. Depressing really, we’ve gone from “being” to “having” and now we’re at “appearing to have” and it’s only going to get more inauthentic. Scary when a society values the unreal more than Truth
You keep forgetting about how terrible his life was as a kid. His dad went to prison so he never had a real father figure to teach him how to be a real man, because I don't care what anyone says a woman cannot raise a real man because she cannot teach him real man attributes, attitudes and the right amount of respect that should be given to others. Every man I have seen raised by just their mothers usually ends up too feminine and sensitive to be a leader or an alpha. The only thing I look up to him for is some of the girls he's been with, because DAYUM some of them were fine. Other than that this guy's biggest mistake was lying too much and spending too much of his money.
@@guitarsandcars2586 obama and Abraham Lincoln were raised by single mothers.Being a man is not a personality trait either
Spoiled? Did you not watch the video?
The whole point is he lied about the money. He didn't have any until he got access to his trustfund...
Fuck me... Crazy to think idiots comment without watching the video... compulsive liar and spoiled aren't mutually exclusive. Just like idiotic and big mouthed aren't always exclusive... But granted you seem to be both.
Perhaps think before typing.
Instead of “spoiled,” I’d use “poisoned.”

I wouldn't trust a single word from this guy
@@julesfalcone Mate, just because your little anecdotes show the contrary, is it so hard to fathom the possibility? I got bullied because of my name alone. Kids can be right little shits.
Not defending the guy, rather pointing out your extremely flawed argument.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if he made it all up to sound more like an underdog.
Otherwise, he's just an asshole trust fund baby, and if nobody liked him it was probably because he was a prick that brought machine guns to school. "I got bullied" sound better than "I had no friends".
Every narcissist claims to have been bullied because it makes them a better person. Victims of bullies are supposedly everywhere
In reality, real victims of bullies lead quiet, less significant lives, and generally dont speak out. The people who speak out are the bullies
People that actually believed that a man who spends his time staging social media pics actually had the time to be a captain of industry are, themselves, deluded. I don’t have anything against him . I applaud what he accomplished on social media. I don’t believe he is smart enough or applies himself toward savvy business acumen to be self made. That much is obvious. Him being a trust fund kid doesn’t disappoint me In the least. I am more curious to see how much longer it lasts or if he salvages what’s left for his future . I think he will incubate and re-self image to more a humble lifestyle
The runescape music threw me off so hard cause I'm playing it while watching this video..... had me going through my settings like wtf
Don’t call this guy a Navy SEAL. He wasn’t.
A lot of people can apply to the SEAL, but come on, he is lying about his broken legs, he just wasn't qualify and lets be real about that.
He didn't even make it through bud's. According to Andy Stump...it takes about three years to become a seal. Bud's is just to weed out the weak.
But but but... he has a six pack, shoots guns and wears sunglasses. That's all you need to become a seal isn't it???
@Eric Sirias he is still retired military? Seal is a job. He was still honorably discharged so you get benefits
There will always be people like Dan as long as there are people who look up to others for the sole purpose of being rich and nothing to do with the content of their character.

Oh yeah. I am not a pro or even that good. But I have an interest in it and he didn't seem to know what he was doing half the time. You watch him and then watch someone like Victoria Coren Mitchell (a British comedian and presenter) and it's like going from watching Ralph Wiggum play to Albert Einstein.
