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/TheAngryCatfish 6d ago edited 6d 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

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.

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.

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.

He is credited as the creator of lets play style youtube videos
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.

PewDiePie was born rich. His parents invested money so he could do what he wanted. Not many people have that

No but he popularized paying people in impoverished countries to brandish signs with antisemitic messages.

How is this celebrity worship? It just seems like a fair evaluation of different lifestyles. I don’t see anybody worshiping celebrities.

How about my life? Where I go to work, spend time with my fiancé, and go fishing and work on my car for fun.
I’ll choose that one. Not some celebrities

I get the comparison, but I think this is exactly what Dan wants. That's what he enjoys

Personally I like having relationships that aren't based around my income, so I'm gonna have to go with pewds. The other dude is just living to impress other people which is a stupid way to waste a life, in my opinion.

PewDiePie won the ultimate internet endgame by successfully converting his clout into a quiet, peaceful retirement in Japan.

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.
Success vs the facade of success.
