What is Dan Bilzerian’s net worth in 2026?
Celebrity Net Worth estimates Dan Bilzerian’s net worth at $100 million. That is well below the figure he gave himself in 2026, and the gap comes down to how his Ignite shares are valued.
In an amended House financial disclosure filed in July 2026, covering 1 January 2025 to 15 April 2026, Bilzerian listed 146 million Ignite shares at $1 each, or $146 million. The filing included no independent valuation or recent sale, and Ignite has a history of heavy losses, so the true market value of the stake is unclear.

How Dan Bilzerian made his money
The source of Bilzerian’s wealth has long been debated. He has credited poker, but many observers believe family money played a larger role.
- Family trusts: his father, Paul Bilzerian, a 1980s corporate takeover specialist, reportedly set up trusts and offshore structures for his sons before his own legal troubles. Their size has never been confirmed.
- Poker: Bilzerian has claimed a single-session win of $12.8 million and earnings of up to $50 million in 2014 from private games. These claims have not been verified.
- Ignite International: the cannabis, vape and lifestyle brand he fronted as founder and public face.
- Social media: his Instagram fame made him a paid brand ambassador and the face of Ignite.
Salary and earnings
His 2026 disclosure gives a more modest picture of his recent income than his public claims. The ranges below are for the reporting periods covered by the filing.
- Poker winnings: $100,001 to $1 million in each period, far below the tens of millions he has claimed before.
- Aircraft sales: $1 million to $5 million in capital gains in each period.
- Bilzerian Entertainment: $100,001 to $1 million in the earlier period.
- Smaller items: a US Department of Veterans Affairs pension, film residuals and music royalties, each worth a few thousand dollars or less.
His only notable official tournament result is 180th place in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event, which paid about $36,000.
Ignite International and the legal fight with his father
Ignite International Brands began trading publicly in January 2019 and went private in June 2022. The company reported losses of more than $50 million in 2019, much of it linked to marketing and spending around Bilzerian’s lifestyle, including the rent on a Bel Air mansion.
In 2024, US prosecutors alleged that Paul Bilzerian kept de facto control of Ignite and moved money into it while owing more than $180 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Dan was removed from his leadership role at the company. In December 2024 he sued his father and other Ignite executives, accusing them of forcing him off the board and using his name and likeness without permission.
Assets: homes, cars and investments
Bilzerian’s best-known home is his house in Las Vegas. Reported property deals include:
- 2014: bought a house in Summerlin South, Las Vegas, for $4.1 million and sold it in 2017 for $5.1 million.
- 2018: bought a Spring Valley, Las Vegas, estate for $8.5 million. He listed it at $25 million in September 2024 and cut the price to $19.9 million in early 2025.
- Bel Air: he lived in a rented Los Angeles mansion, with rent reportedly paid through Ignite.
His 2026 filing also lists a Gulfstream IV jet, vehicles and boats. For comparison with the homes of the very rich, see our list of the most expensive houses in the world.

In the primary on 18 August 2026, Fine won 56.9% of the vote. Bilzerian came second with 16,773 votes, or 18.7%.
