The King Of Instagram Dan Bilzerian Could Soon Be Teaching Your Kids

The King Of Instagram Dan Bilzerian Could Soon Be Teaching Your Kids

When you're constantly surrounded by beautiful women, fast cars, stacks of money, huge guns and never-ending parties, what else do you imagine you could be doing with your time?

Well if you're Dan Bilzerian, it appears the answer is substitute teaching.

Apparently the self-proclaimed 'King of Instagram' has had enough living some men's wildest dreams for the last few years. In a very wide-ranging interview with Graham Bensinger, Bilzerian was asked what career path would he choose if he could start his life again.

The 36-year-old said: "If money wasn't a factor and I just had to pick a job that I'd do because I like doing it, I'd probably be a teacher, as crazy as that sounds.

"I just think it would be interesting. I already applied to be a substitute teacher."

Apparently, he got rejected on his first application, but he's since been accepted and can start applying for different schools. Bilzerian added: "[I want to do it] just for the hell of it... It just seems like it would be kind of cool to be able to actually teach kids important stuff. I feel like you learn so much pointless shit in school.

He'd like to be able to educate 10- to 12-year-olds because they're 'old enough to actually absorb something'. But he also expressed concern about rocking up to different schools and having people in the older grades recognise him.

Bilzerian refused to name which schools he has his eye on, just in case fans or enemies hatch plans to cause havoc.

Dan went on to speak about virtually every topic under the sun. He touched on his Navy SEAL training (and how he failed to graduate), having back-to-back heart attacks at just 25 years old, losing his virginity to a Mexican prostitute in the eighth grade, dealing with claims that he's a trust fund baby, tips for Instagram fame, why he supports Donald Trump, playing poker, how Lance Armstrong helped his cycling and finally his plans to take over the marijuana industry.

And in a strange remark, he complained that his fame is the only downside to his life, despite the fact that he posts the majority of his outrageous lifestyle on social media. While there's no doubt he raised a lot of his income from playing poker, the only reason many people know him is from his Instagram page, which has more than 22 million followers.

It's there that you can find him showing off his private planes, attractive women, large parties and constant holidaying.
