The notorious ‘King of Instagram' threw a raunchy presidential campaign launch party and I had a front row seat
The last time we heard of a party thrown by Dan Bilzerian, it included giraffes, mermaids, and cameo appearances from Vin Diesel and Ludacris.
So when we found out Bilzerian was visiting New York City to host a party in support of his 2016 presidential campaign, we snapped up a ticket immediately.
Known as the "King of Instagram," the controversial Bilzerian has 10 million followers on the platform. His photos, full of guns, money, and models, have earned the professional poker player online infamy and even a profile in GQ.
Now, the Rand Paul poker pal says he's running for president. The party held last night at the Marquee is the first stop on a multi-city campaign tour. Bilzerian is hitting Boston tonight.
But as it turned out, the event wasn't all that different from a typical night at the club. Aside from the American flag-themed decor, of course.
Scroll through to see what his party last night was like.
Guys in button-down shirts and suits started lining up outside Marquee at 11:15 p.m.
Inside, the bro fest continued. I asked one guy if he thought some girls might arrive later. "Hopefully," he said.
I finally found a big group of women in the corner. They told me they came in with a promoter.
