Molly Bloom Bücher

In den späten 2000ern veranstaltete Molly Bloom die gefragtesten illegalen Pokerrunden Hollywoods. Alle wollten dabei sein, nur wenige wurden eingeladen. An ihrem Tisch wurden Hunderte Millionen Dollar verloren und gewonnen – von Berühmtheiten wie Leonardo DiCaprio und Ben Affleck ebenso wie von Sportgrößen, Industriebossen, Spitzenpolitikern und Finanzmogulen. Molly lebte wie ihre Kunden: Privatjets, Luxussuiten und auf Du und Du mit der Elite der Traumfabrik Hollywood. Detailreich beschreibt sie eine skandal- und geheimnisumwitterte Welt, zu der Normalsterbliche keinen Zugang haben.

Now a major motion picture, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin and starring Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, and Michael Cera—the true story of "Hollywood’s poker princess" who gambled everything, won big, then lost it all. Molly Bloom reveals how she built one of the most exclusive, high-stakes underground poker games in the world—an insider’s story of excess and danger, glamour and greed. In the late 2000s, Molly Bloom, a twentysomething petite brunette from Loveland Colorado, ran the highest stakes, most exclusive poker game Hollywood had ever seen—she was its mistress, its lion tamer, its agent, and its oxygen. Everyone wanted in, few were invited to play. Hundreds of millions of dollars were won and lost at her table. Molly’s game became the game for those in the know—celebrities, business moguls, and millionaires. Molly staged her games in palatial suites with beautiful views and exquisite amenities. She flew privately, dined at exclusive restaurants, hobnobbed with the heads of Hollywood studios, was courted by handsome leading men, and was privy to the world’s most delicious gossip, until it all came crashing down around her. Molly’s Game is a behind the scenes look at Molly’s game, the life she created, the life she lost, and what she learned in the process.
