Seems odd though. The guy can come of as a douche sometimes, but behind that public character he has created for himself, there is no question that he is an extremely savvy, successful and bright guy. You don't get to $100m+ across a variety of businesses (He's always called a pro poker player, but that came after he had already built his fortune in the market and as venture capitalist) by being stupid all the time.

He didn't do shit. His dad was a venture capitalist who was basically the real Gordon Gecko.

He plays on the professional poker level strictly based on the wages that he can afford. I have many friends who are very big in the pro-poker circuit. One of my best friends is a dealer for Bilzerians high stakes poker games. He is a heavy duty trust fund baby who gets fucked up on Coke & Viagra on a daily basis. He is in his early 30's and has already had 3 heart attacks from drug abuse. Although he might be savvy and bright. He is a 30 something year old trust fund baby who hangs out with porn stars and hookers all day. Yes I am sure we all wish to live the same lifestyle and I do congratulate him on his conquests. He doesn't quite deserve the credit you are giving him.
