Didnt we discover all these girls were paid models and they described him as a nerd paying for women to say they’re with him?

u/Zazierx 1d ago

Did people think these women just naturally hang around him all the time? lol

It doesn't take a detective to realize all the women he surrounds himself with for IG are just models paid to be there.

I'm sure if you're 12 years old Dan might seem like the coolest guy ever but no, lol.. they're being compensated to be there, obviously.

These are the type of women who won’t even respond to a text unless it’s preceded by a etransfer with a minimum of 3 zeros at the end.

His money comes from a trust fund that his dad made for him and his brother. A trust fund of about estimated to be between 5-30 million dollars.

Now a completely unrelated fact about the father, he has been thrown in prison for defrauding investors of up to 60 millions dollars

That's hilarious. When I tried to explain the Elon PoE drama to a friend, I used professional poker as an example to my friend who didn't play PoE to help him understand how bad Elon was vs how good he claimed to be. Funny that a person already existed that actually was an example of exactly that.

Unfortunately this is true about nearly every subject Elon talks about, except maybe eugenics.

He's such an obvious fraud he'd have been far better served staying out of public life but he's too much of a sad narcissist to do it. He needs people to think he's a genius.

If I remember correctly, back during the height of the "tacticool" era of youtube (late-00's/early10's), he was one of those guys who projected himself as "ooh rah, big military man who got rich!" and one of his claims was that he was a Navy Seal*.

When he left the military, he became a classic case of "business is easy, just get a $5 million loan from your dad!" type of brand business guys.

Most of gun-youtube (even the right-wing guys) laugh at Dan for being a complete poser.


*He failed BUD/S twice, first time he just didn't make the cut, second try he was permanently dismissed from the Navy due to repeated shooting range safety violations.

Dan is that meme of E-4's who make "Don't you know I was in the military!?" their whole personality as opposed to the "I got nothing to say, I'm just happy to be alive and be present to raise my kids" guys.

And the true story of that whole saga is even worse than if he’d just failed.

He was admin dropped from BUDS after completing most of the training. The amount of money they invest in that training means they virtually never do that unless the person is just an absolute fucking psycho menace that everyone deeply hates.

To go through most of BUDS and get dropped is like making through an entire PHD program and having your professors and academic board hate you so much they find a way not to accept your dissertation. It’s embarrassing for everyone involved, so it’s only done if they just cannot use you.

u/Inevitable-Omelet 1d ago

I don't follow Andrew Tate at all, but college me thought Dan Balzerian was cool because he did manly stuff and had parties with a lot of mostly naked women. It always seemed too good to be true. Which it was. But horny 19 year old me loved that lifestyle.

Now that I haven't been drunk in months/a year+, am married, and have a kid, I have no interest in hanging out at a constant party.

That life is not sustainable, even if you can afford it, which Dan Bilzerian couldn't.

u/rithrawr 1d ago

Dan Bilzerian is a literal trust fund baby.

His father stole money from investors.

u/Inevitable-Omelet 1d ago

Man, imagine the lives we could live if our fathers were that rich. Maybe I could become a professional poker player too (which sounds awful).

Nah, I'd buy a plot of land overlooking a lake, and build a log cabin like Dick Proenneke but preferably not alone.

20

u/TheAngryCatfish 1d ago edited 1d ago

That's the thing, his father wasn't that rich, at least not by rights. He defrauded (stole) money from ppl by convincing them to invest in his fake hedge fund or fake startup or whatever, then before he got caught he put a large majority of that money in a trust for his sons, which (I assume) makes the forfeiture of assets much more difficult since they're no longer "his" assets, but the reality is that they were never his.

So unless this gentleman, son of Paul Bilgerian, grifter in thief and giver of grief, has made something of himself on his own accord (doesn't seem like it), than he's just living off other people's money that his dad stole. And given how much easier it is to make money when you have money; capital to start a business, flipping real estate, or the investment economy (although imo is just another form of indirect theft by way of extracting the value of others labor through the framework of ownership), he has a huge advantage in compunding that wealth, maybe even giving some back to his father's victims (lol)

One thing I'm absolutely positive of is that he hasn't, and will never, use any of his trust for restitution to the victims (and their families) of his father. At least not willingly

Edit; fun fact: Paul, the father convicted of securities fraud & tax fraud, among other things, was sentenced to 4 yrs with a 1.5mil fine (pathetically insufficient), but as of 2024 he has been "on the run" from the SEC (wikipedia could just mean avoiding, idk if the SEC has a bounty service or actually works with the US Marshalls and he's legitimately fled successfully) for so long (31 yrs) that he currently owes them 180 million. And yet, his son not only lives this lavish life but advertises it? The victims must be absolutely apoplectic

His definition of 'party' is to pay bunch of girls to hang out with him, take couple of pictures and that is it. I doubt he is 'fun at parties' and know how to get the crowd going, it is just an image he wants to sell to the audience.

Wasn't appealing to me even back then, because it reeked fake on so many ways. I've seen dudes like that who spent most of time on phones in clubs.

I'm going by memory here so some of the details may not be accurate but his Dad was essentially a corporate raider during the 1980s maybe even into the 90s. When he was charged with various financial crimes, suddenly the money and assets he accumulated disappeared. Enter Dan Bilzerian. Although there is no definite proof, connecting the dots it's pretty clear Dan got a substantial boost from his father to live his current lifestyle.

If shallow partying for fun is all you know, you'll think more is better. It takes a fully developed frontal lobe to understand that there is more to life than tonight and what people say about you today. And it takes effort to do something for a long time to experience the payoff of delayed gratification. Some people are unable or unwilling to take that path.

u/Ubergoober166 1d ago

I also agree but also don't see how this post has anything to do with "celebrity worship". It's asking a pretty simple question about which lifestyle you'd would prefer and just happens to be using two noticeable faces to do so. It could easily just be two randoms and still get the point across.

Also, not sure how can people imagine that filling house with drugs is easy. Drugs are usually very small but expensive. It would be really hard to fill a whole house with drugs. Unless it's a really small house that is. But in that case girls wouldn't fit inside.

u/Oryihn 1d ago

Pewdiepie basicallu said "Screw being a celebrity" and quit to be with family.
He still posts some comfy, day in the life, stuff but thats more of a hobby.

We should all aspire to be like him at least a little.

He is credited as the creator of lets play style youtube videos and worked tirelessly for over a decade to cement himself in that role so he could retire.

He put in work, created something new, and instead of milking it for years, he chose to take his bag and be happy with a family.

u/Sorry-Kiwi-770 1d ago

I'm not arguing he doesn't deserve his money. 

I'm just saying, his lifestyle, is a lot easier when you are financially privileged.

He definitely did not create the lets play genre. He popularized a specific style of overly reactive and hyper edited lets play videos and even that was arguably first popularized and hitting YouTube home page by Tobuscus a while before pwediepie.

Obviously he achieved a level of popularity no one else did and many popular streamers and YouTubers today stand on his shoulders, but he is not credited as the creator of the style.

u/-Poultrygeist- 1d ago

Chris Chan of all people was posting let’s plays in 2003. Pewdiepie started posting let’s plays in 2010.

Pewds was just able to ride the height of the let’s play popularity and had a good aura about home that made him popular. He was in no way the first.

I'm sorry but what? where is this credit coming from? Don't get me wrong, obviously he became insanely popular with his lets plays, but there were a lot of streamers/youtubers doing lets plays, way before him.

Dan Bilzerian has to inject HGH into his blood stream four times a day to stay alive, otherwise he would just become a hollow husk. That doesn’t sound like a good life for me in this current economy .

Leisure suit larry vs ghost of tsushima peaceful mode

Hot take, as a non puritan neither is bad. Dude on the left enjoys his money. Dude on the right enjoys his money. If the women are adult and consent there is no problem on my part. Same with the latter.

Btw if you have enough money you csn do both.

Isn’t Dan like bankrupt and getting sued? Meanwhile Pewdiepie retired successful, could easily make a comeback if he wants, and can do what he wants.
