About Dan Bilzerian

Daniel Bilzerian (born December 7, 1980) is an American social media personality, businessman, and political activist. He initially gained widespread internet notability beginning in 2013 for documenting an extravagant playboy lifestyle on social media alongside scantily dressed models, firearms, and high-stakes poker. In 2026, running as a Republican, Bilzerian launched a congressional campaign in Florida's 6th U.S. House District for the 2026 midterm elections. His rhetoric before and during his campaign has featured antisemitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial. His career has also been marked by extensive legal and personal controversies, including numerous civil lawsuits and corporate financial misconduct. He is the brother of fellow poker player Adam Bilzerian; they are half Armenian-Americans through his father, who was a corporate raider on Wall Street and provided both of his sons with trust funds. He is the eldest son of businessman Paul Bilzerian.
