Dan Bilzerian is selling his extravagant Las Vegas mansion, and the asking price is several million more than the largest poker tournament payout in history.
Bilzerian, a poker player and polarizing social media influencer, listed the Las Vegas property for $25 million, making it the priciest piece of residential real estate on the Sin City market. At that price, a monthly payment would be an estimated $128,482.
The seven-bedroom, 38,289 square-foot mansion, aptly referred to as an "adult playground," features an array of amenities that includes a full-length indoor basketball court, outdoor pool, paintball field, hockey rink, foam pit, wine cellar, gym, theater room, golf simulator, rock-climbing wall, 16-car garage and a poker table.
