Trust Fund Heir Dan Bilzerian Makes Controversial Holocaust Denial Claims
Dan Bilzerian, the 44-year-old social media personality and trust fund beneficiary, has sparked controversy with recent comments denying historical facts about the Holocaust during an appearance on Bradley Martyn's "Raw Talk" podcast.
Known primarily as the "King of Instagram" with 31.3 million followers, Bilzerian inherited his wealth from his father, Paul Bilzerian, who was convicted of securities law violations in 1989.

During the podcast, Bilzerian questioned established historical facts about the Holocaust, making unfounded claims about death tolls at Auschwitz and challenging documented evidence about Nazi extermination methods. He also made controversial statements connecting the Armenian genocide to Israel, despite historical records clearly attributing it to the Ottoman Empire.
This marks a significant shift from his previous political stance. While Bilzerian supported Donald Trump in 2016, he has withdrawn that support in 2024, citing Trump's pro-Israel positions as a primary reason.
Meanwhile, Bilzerian's Las Vegas mansion, a 40,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial property featuring seven bedrooms, 14 baths, and a 16-car garage, remains on the market for $25 million after more than 100 days of listing. The property, located near the southern end of the Strip on W. Patrick Lane, showcases the lavish lifestyle Bilzerian frequently displays on social media.
These recent controversial statements add to Bilzerian's history of provocative behavior, which has helped maintain his social media presence while simultaneously drawing criticism from various quarters.
