Crazy Life : Who is Dan Bilzerian?

How to say… Have you read the last article about Charity, Bill Gates and everything? Well, this one will be totally different, and by “totally” I mean “TO-TA-LLY”!

Sometimes, when people get more money than they know what to do with it, they show it as much as they can. And in order to do so, what can be better than using social media such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?

If you follow a minimum the social networks mentioned above, you have probably already met Dan Bilzerian: 7,6 million followers on Facebook, 1,2 million on Twitter and 8,2 million on Instagram. That makes a lot of people! Why is he so famous? Because he is richer than you and he want you to know it by exposing his crazy life on Internet.

He is 34, and his life is unusual. He is the son of an extremely wealthy Armenian-American businessman and lives it up at the maximum. His hobbies are poker, weapons, parties, girls, girls and girls. And this is why lots of men follow his pages, I can’t lie, he is always followed and surrounded by models.

His way of life is so insane that he can’t avoid controversies… such as throwing Janice Griffith naked from a roof in a pool. Unfortunately Bilzerian missed his shot and she got her foot broken, sad story. The model has sued him but she has finally withdrawn it.

His passion for weapons is very serious this is not a joke, as you will see in this video. He combines his passion for weapons AND girls together. If doesn’t feel any discomfort by being called macho or misogynist, he enjoys make people raging because he doesn’t care about the opinion.

Even after having issues with the law because of possessing explosives, he still continues posting photos of himself on Instagram, well he really doesn’t care.

I'm not encouraging you to do the same of course but let's finish this article with a statement of the "King of Instagram":

Charity : Helping Others

Now picture yourself, you are a billionaire, you have everything you always wished to have. And sometimes you might feel uncomfortable with your wealth. You live the good life but a lot of people don’t. The poverty, the famine, the disease affect many parts of the world and you can do something about it with your money. If you want to keep your money for you it’s ok, I am not calling you selfish, but don’t you think that your money could be more useful to someone or something else?

Here is an example of a philanthropic act made by a billionaire. You know Microsoft right? His founder Bill Gates too? But have you heard about the “Bill & Melinda Gates foundation”?

  

The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, is an American Humanist and Philanthropic foundation created in 2000. His aim is to bring the global population innovations in terms of health and knowledge. Bill and Melinda Gates finance this foundation and their annual donations are higher than the expenses of the World Health Organization. Other contributors bring funds, as an example, in June 2006 the American billionaire businessman Warren Buffet gave 37 billion dollars. It employs about 1200 people all around the world. Since its creation, the foundation has paid the amazing amount of 28,3 billion dollars.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet also lead a campaign called “The Giving Pledge” which encourages the wealthiest people in the world to make a commitment to give most of their wealth to philanthropic causes. It a quite a success! In January 2015, 128 billionaires, individuals or couples, have signed the pledge. Among them we can find people such as George Lucas, Mark Zuckerberg and David Rockefeller.

Being a billionaire is something wonderful, we all agree on this. But when you have too much money that you don’t know what to do with, you are able to enter the history and to do something good for the whole world. The different billionaires I talked about in the previous paragraphs all reflect a good image of their selves and moreover they must feel good to help people in need.

“You’ve done everything you want to do with your money, think about others now.”

Personal Staff : "Today I don't feel like doing anything!"

What can we talk about now? Mmmh… Oh Yeah! What do billionaires do on their own? Not much right? Why do I say that? Because they all have their personal staff. They have the amazing privilege to be able to afford having people do things for them.

Who never wanted to have somebody cooking for yourself, driving you somewhere or even caring after your house? Nobody. Everybody has already been too lazy to do a thing. But that time is over now that you are billionaire!

Having your own personal assistants travelling with you with also a security assured 24/7 comes almost as second nature to the wealthy, not only for billionaire but also for celebrities.

I’m going to tell you some good and bad stories about having or being part of a celebrity’s personal staff.

Lady Gaga is not the fairest employer you could have, and Jennifer O’Neill knows it. The woman was in charge of the celebrity’s schedule, bills, meals and making sure that the star had a towel as soon as she stepped out the shower. But the problem is that the singer “forgot” to pay her 379.000 $ in overtime. Her assistant has logically sued Lady Gaga.

"The assistant seems a little bit anxious right? But Lady Gaga doesn't really care!" 

Let’s now see a better example of being a happy celebrity assistant. Floyd Mayweather, the American boxer is the world’s highest paid athlete, he is not a billionaire yet but his wealth is estimated at over 100 million dollars. Anyway, he can afford the service of a chauffeur. This last one is a lucky guy because he frequents supercars everyday and his job doesn’t seem to hard, have a look at this video.

Also, some big celebrities totally lose their mind because of fame and it may seriously affect their staff. The model Naomi Campbell has been accused several times of abusing her employees (from her limo driver to her housekeeper). A certain Amie Castaldo, one of her personal assistant, has reported a claim too. According to the assistant, Naomi attacked her, yelling “You [beep] worthless [beep].” Allegedly the model also head-butted her, bit her, and pulled her to the ground by her hair. How this happened? Campbell lost her mind when she found out that Castaldo booked the wrong hairdresser for an event. However, a Campbell’s representative denied the whole story.

“Thanks to this photo we understand better the situation, it’s all Castaldo’s fault. Just kidding…”

The job of being part of a celebrity’s staff goes from personal chef, chauffeur, cleaning staff, accountants, assistants, butlers, gardeners, stylists, nanny’s, the list can go on and on. It should not be an easy job to respond to every celebrity’s wish… So please trainee billionaires, if you decide to hire a staff, be nice with them and don’t act like Gaga or Naomi but more like Mayweather.

Travel : What About Seeing the Whole World Now ?

Imagine you are a billionaire. You have the property of your dreams, the car you always wanted to have and you are living a peaceful life. But be careful of not getting too bored of your “poor” billionaire life. You should leave your life aside and go on a journey, visit the world.

The first two articles of this blog were a bit materialistic I admit it. But now, let’s be honest, what are cars compared to memories? Not much right? Now that you have everything, build some memories by traveling the world. All the money in the world cannot buy memories.

The world is full of wealth, shaped by nature but also men. A whole lifetime would not be enough to discover the entire globe. But here is some of the most beautiful place you must see before passing away. Let me take you on an expedition to the four corners of our lovely planet earth.

The Machu Picchu

Perched at over 2,430 meters above the sea level, Machu Picchu is an amazing site. Its geography is itself only is a natural splendour, on the border of the Amazon forest and the Andean mountain. Built in the 15^th century, the celestial city seems to be at the crossroads of the world. This site was discovered only in 1911 during an archaeological expedition. Visiting the terraces of Machu Picchu you will be transported back in time. The mystery remains unresolved, does this site was used as a fortress, a sacred temple, a sacrificial place or as the last Inca shelter. Go find it by yourself.

The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is not the deepest in the world, but it is undoubtedly the most spectacular. There are stunning views and you will feel so small compared to this, for sure. Located in Arizona, it covers 450km long, from Lake Powell to Lake Mead. Forged by time, it tells the story of the earth since its origin 1.7 billion years ago. The Colorado River which flows in it, and the winds created a breath taking natural show.

Whitehaven Beach

You may not know this place because it is less famous than the previous ones, but this is what makes this beach even more special. It is a genuine white paradise. Located on the Whitsunday Island next to the East Coast of Australia, it is only accessible by boat. If you want to relax far away from the city life it is perfect for you, there is not a single building or construction. Its sand is extremely white and thin.

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is the biggest building ever built by man. Taking into account its destroyed parts, the construction will reach 21.000km long according the latest estimations, but usually it is said a length of 6.700km. From the North of Beijing to the Gobi Desert, this defensive military structure built of stone & brick had been built, destroyed and rebuilt from the 3^rd century BC to the 17^th century. Several dynasties have contributed to its construction, but it comes mostly from the Ming Dynasty from 1368 to 1644. The Great Wall of China is a precious testimony of Chinese power.

Our journey stops here guys I hope you enjoyed it. What do you think trainee billionaires? Ready to pack your things and travel the world?
