Molly Bloom, nicknamed "the princess of poker" by American journalists for organizing banned tournaments for this game with the participation of stars, is releasing a book of memoirs in which she is going to reveal all the secrets of the gambling life of celebrities. By the way, there are not so few stars addicted to gambling - here are 7 examples.
Ben Affleck
Oscar-winning actor, director and screenwriter Ben Affleck is a longtime casino fan and is widely regarded as one of the most avid gamblers in Hollywood. He plays great poker and blackjack.
In June 2004, Affleck won the California Championship of Poker, which was attended by 90 players, including professionals. He took home more than 365 thousand dollars.
Matt Damon
Ben Affleck's best friend, actor Matt Damon, is also a frequent guest of gaming establishments. He became interested in poker while filming Rounders. Then he was taught to play cards by professional poker player Johnny Chan. Together with Affleck, Damon regularly participates in charity poker tournaments, all funds from participation in which go to public purposes.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio is not only a successful actor and environmentalist. In his spare time, he loves to gamble.
His name now and then pops up in reports of illegal underground evenings, but so far the actor manages to get out of the water.
Interestingly, a Russian businessman Vasily Klyukin recently acquired a charity lot - a flight into space in the DiCaprio company. Klyukin is an avid poker player and is already looking forward to being the first to spread his cards in zero gravity.
Matthew Perry
The Friends star is also good at poker. He even took part in the Celebrity Poker Showdown, where he played cards with other celebrities. Also, Matthew Perry is a VIP guest of the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, however, there the actor usually plays in closed VIP halls, without going out to the general public.
George Clooney
Actor George Clooney was fascinated by the casino after filming Ocean's Eleven, where he played the head of a gang that robbed these establishments.
Clooney turned his hobby into a business - becoming a co-owner of a casino in Las Vegas.
They say that George is very strict in what he does. A dress code is mandatory at his establishment, and he never indulges even the most influential clients.
Brad Pitt
Like his friend George Clooney, Brad Pitt can also play a game or two of poker and together with him became a co-owner of the casino, having invested about three million dollars in its development. Unlike Clooney, Pitt is not so strict and demanding. His main rule is that the client is always right.
Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher does not play in casinos, but he is also inclined to excitement. In his youth, he earned money by betting on football matches. Being a good athlete himself, he is very good at predicting success or failure in matches.
Together with a group of friends, he organized a gambling syndicate and earned an average of $ 750,000 a month, which amazed even seasoned bookmakers.
The actor even today periodically places bets on games, often improving his financial condition.
