Dan Bilzerian, the notorious playboy who once described himself as the “King of Instagram” for regularly posting outlandish photos and videos of himself frolicking with scantily-clad women and high-powered artillery, is selling the place where many of those infamous moments took place.

Bilzerian is parting ways with his Las Vegas mansion in the gated Spring Valley neighborhood. The 5.2-acre, 40,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial-style estate features seven bedrooms, 14 baths, a 16-car garage, and an array of odd and quirky amenities fit for a hedonistic lifestyle.

At $25 million, Bilzerian’s estate is currently the costliest residential real estate listing in Nevada.

Trust Fund Baby Turned Poker Pro, Socialite, Philanderer

Bilzerian inherited a fortune from his father Paul, a corporate takeover specialist, who in 1989 was found guilty of securities law violations and ordered to pay more than $30 million in illegal profits to the SEC. It’s unclear how much the younger Bilzerian and his brother inherited.

Bilzerian claims the primary source of his wealth has been his successful gambling career, chiefly high-stakes poker. Many Las Vegas poker pros, most notably Doug Polk, have disputed those claims and allege that Bilzerian is simply a trust fund baby.

The Hendon Mob, the online poker database, puts Bilzerian’s all-time live cash earnings at just $36,626. Not exactly the kind of money that affords one a mansion in Las Vegas to complement his pads in Los Angeles, a private jet, and a luxury yacht.

Bilzerian claims he plays most often in private high-roller games that aren’t discussed publicly. His company, Ignite International Brands, also sells CBD oils, e-cigarettes, spirits, and apparel.

Bilzerian likely makes a nice living through his social media accounts, specifically Instagram, where he has 32 million followers.

That same year, Bilzerian was sued by a porn star after he threw her off a roof for a Hustler photoshoot. She landed short of the pool and broke her foot.

Anti-Israel Rhetoric 

Bilzerian more recently caused a stir after he seemingly made anti-Semitic remarks about the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

Bilzerian’s family roots trace back to Armenia, a West Asia country that supports Palestine. The Armenian people of the Ottoman Empire underwent systematic destruction from 1915 to 1917 when an estimated 600K to 1.5 million people were killed in what became known as the Armenian genocide.

The estate of Kirk Kerkorian, the founder of MGM Resorts, fulfilled his wishes six years after his death by producing a film recognizing the genocide. “The Promise” starred Academy Award-winning actor Christian Bale and was directed by Oscar-nominated Terry George.
