King of Instagram Dan Bilzerian talked about why he has a flashy lifestyle, according to Business Insider.

Bilzerian revealed that he did not receive a lot of attention from his busy father when he was a child that is why he became a "flashy lunatic." The poker player's father previously owned a "robotics company" and has Armenian descendants.

The King of Instagram spent his childhood in Tampa, Florida where they have an "eleven-bedroom" mansion, batting cage, indoor basketball court, swimming pool complete with water slide and "imported volcanic rock mountain."

When Bilzerian was a little boy, his father was imprisoned for tax fraud and this resulted to bullying from his classmates. Due to the harsh treatment he received in school, Bilzerian hated it and was expelled twice from the academy.

The family eventually got bankrupt and Bilzerian decided to be in the Navy. Although, their assets slowly disappeared, Bilzerian has a trust fund.  He decided to bail his father out of the money but it came out as a bad decision since his father refused to talk to him for eight months, GQ reported.

After that, he was lured into playing Poker games and won big money. The money kept pouring in until Bilzerian decided to make a career out of it. Eventually, he played at "nosebleed stakes," which means bets are so high it can cause "nosebleeds."

Due to his success in poker, Bilzerian now resides in Hollywood Hills with neighbors such as Leonardo Di Caprio and billionaire Sam Nazarian. According to Bilzerian, he makes a living by being a "venture capitalist."

Bilzerain has over 6 million flowers on Instagram and he is best known for posting photos of expensive cars, bundles of money and sexy women. In 2013, Bilzerain appeared on a video clip taken from the 2013 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas wherein he watched the game together with a young woman who was tasked to "stroke his beard."

Naked women are responsible for Bilzerain's haircut. Aside from scantily clad females, the King of Instagram enjoys collecting weapons. He even purchased a brand new pick-up truck to carry his "20mm anti-tank gun."

The man shows off his private jet and yacht on Instagram and hangs out with celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger.
