Boom and we're live. There's a lot of rich people in the world, but there's not a lot of rich people living like you.
So first of all before we even get started, I salute you sir, because if I was a 16 year old kid and I won the lottery,
I'd be living exactly the way you live. Like if you asked a 16 year old kid,
Hey man, if you had fucking hundred million bucks, what would you do? Oh dude, I just have I just have bitches around me all the time.
I'd be jet skiing. I'd be driving around Ferraris and private jets. You're living like a life that doesn't even seem real.
It's a, does it seem real to you?
Um, now it seems normal as crazy as that sounds. Um, so I've been doing it for a while, but that's actually kind of exactly what I did.
I was, um, I think it started in maybe like 2011, 12.
So I had a girlfriend for about two or three years and she was like pretty happy.
The fact she was a playmate and she had like a hundred thousand followers and she was going to move to LA to become famous and this and that.
And we ended up breaking up and I actually ended up getting a place in San Diego.
Then I got a place in LA and I started playing this, you know, real big poker.
And I mean, I beat one guy for like 54 million and then, you know, I beat another guy for like 10 and, you know, so there's like, you know, some pretty big Christ.
Yeah. Like, you know what I'm saying? It was like, there's some pretty big, you know, wins there.
And, uh, and I was single and I was just like, you know what, fuck it.
I'm just kind of, kind of like do bucket list shit. Like whatever, like whatever I want to do when I was a kid, I'm just going to fucking do it.
You know? And I just did. And I posted about it and it was like, part of the posting was cause I knew it'd be able to get me some pussy without like actually speaking to girls, which was good.
And then there was like another piece of it where it was kind of like a fuck you to her.
And then, but it was like never like really to become famous, you know what I mean?
It was just kind of like, you know, I was just doing my thing and, you know, we were getting pictures here and there.
