Early life[edit]

Bilzerian is the son of Armenian-American corporate takeover specialist Paul Bilzerian and Terri, grew up in Florida.[1][2] He has a brother, Dan Bilzerian.[3] He attended Gaither High School, where he represented his school in tennis.[4]

On June 11, 2001, FBI agents raided the Bilzerian residence in Tampa, Florida, in relation to charges of market manipulation against Paul Bilzerian. A neighbour described the raid as 'pure intimidation'. Paul Bilzerian would be held in prison and was not permitted to attend his son's high school graduation. In the aftermath, Adam Bilzerian would question his dream of becoming an Army Green Beret; in press interviews, he asked, 'How can you go in and fight for your country when this is what they're doing to [your father]?'[2] Longer term, the incident proved to have a lasting effect on Bilzerian's worldview. He went on to study at Vanderbilt University, earning a B.A. in history. Here, he witnessed the 2004 United States presidential election that resulted in a second term for George W. Bush; Bilzerian saw this as a bad sign for the future of the freedoms of the Bill of Rights, and began to look into emigrating from the U.S. and establishing himself abroad. In 2007, he purchased a residence in Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the following year went on to become a citizen of the country, relinquishing U.S. citizenship in the process.[1] In 2018 he obtained Armenian citizenship.[5]

He played poker privately with baseball player Alex Rodriguez at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, and was reportedly surprised by Rodriguez' skill; he was quoted as stating, 'Alex busted everyone except me.

Dr Alexandra Chauran who is a poker player and Twitch streamer, criticized GGPoker for not being open to sign female poker ambassadors, and instead choosing Bilzerian, who is known as a “playboy“. Another female poker player, Julie Bonnett, said Bilzerian is a “misogynist” and that GGPoker made a wrong move by signing him.

There remarks have some degree of credibility. In 2014, Bilzerian was widely criticized for throwing a naked woman off a roof. Porn star Janice Griffith suffered a broken foot as a result of the incident which took place in Bilzerian’s Hollywood mansion. There were also other members of the poker community who agreed that GGPoker’s decision to sign him would only do the brand more harm than good.

GG Poker ambassador Daniel Negreanu, who warmly welcomed Bilzerian to Team GGPoker, also took heat on social media. One Twitter user said Negreanu partnering with Bilzerian is proof that “money beats morals“.
