Trust Fund Baby
According to multiple reports, Dan Bilzerian’s net worth is between $150 million to $200 million. Dan Bilzerian has always insisted that he is a self-made millionaire, which is false. Paul Bilzerian, the father of Dan, was a famous corporate takeover specialist who profited illegally by bankrupting companies. In 1989 he was ordered to pay more than $30 million of his illicit profits; however, he didn’t pay since he filed for bankruptcy in 1991 and 2001, respectively. Paul put up a trust fund for his two children Dan and Adam. The trust fund is believed to have a valuation of around $11.7 million in 1997 and has increased immensely ever since. These funds became accessible in 2010 and played a considerable part in Dan’s wealth.Dan Bilzerian featured on an episode in FULL SEND PODCAST, where he discussed various topics, including his role in being nicknamed the “trust fund baby” and how he has embraced it since it got him into all the big poker games. A majority of Dan’s critics believe that he launders his father’s money through gambling.
The Setup Book

Ignite International Brands Ltd. sells electronic cigarettes, water bottles, CBD oils, vodka, among other products. In 2019, the company reported losing over $50 million through office rental, marketing, and funding Dan’s lifestyle.
Dan Bilzerian claims that the company has a market value of $400 million, and they are expanding to South America, specifically in Paraguay, since it’s illegal in Brazil. The company recently announced its departure from the Canadian market, citing regulatory restrictions and accusing the government of “excessive restrictions.”
”The government’s excessive restrictions on the marketing, sales, and distribution of products” have “diminished the business opportunity while simultaneously making the consumer experience less than optimal.”
In 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a fraud case against Ignite International Brands and Paul Bilzerian, alleging falsified accounting records and improper financial reporting practices; Dan Bilzerian was not charged in the case. Furthermore, in 2025, Dan Bilzerian filed a lawsuit against Ignite for wrongful removal and breach of contract, a case that is currently ongoing in the U.S. District Court.
It seems the company is on a downward spiral, and there are rumors that Bilzerian has squandered his trust fund. With all these amalgamating factors, Dan Bilzerian is a spendthrift and heavy gambler. It won’t be astonishing to see him filing for bankruptcy sooner or later.
