How did Adin Ross lose $1M in 2 hours? 'Reckless' Kick streamer explains what happened
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kick streamer Adin Ross recently made waves when he appeared on the 'Full Send Podcast' as a guest and candidly revealed his experiences during high-stakes Blackjack sessions. During the meeting, he revealed his most significant loss, a staggering $1,000,000, which he suffered in just two hours.
Ross first recounted his finest session, in which he turned $50,000 into an astonishing $500,000 in just two days. The conversation took an unexpected turn, when podcast hosts Aaron Steiny and Kyle Forgeard asked about Ross' biggest loss.
'I lost a million, in like, two hours'
Ross said, "My biggest L? This session, last, I lost a million, in like, two hours.” The notorious internet personality has clearly experienced the extremes of gambling.
Forgeard then asked Ross if this significant loss occurred while he was gambling with UFC president Dana White. Ross said that was not the case, but he stated that White had helped him during his first high-stakes game.
Ross said, "No, it wasn't. Dana, actually, helped my first time playing big, though. We were down, I think, me and Dana together were, like, down $450,000 - $500,000. No! $750,000. I think I was like, two or three ($200,000 or $300,000) and he was, like, four or five ($400,000 or $500,000)."
'You can’t take money with you when you die'
During the conversation, Steiny voiced concerns about Ross's seemingly reckless actions and asked whether he was concerned about the possible implications. In response, Ross stated, "No. I don’t care. You can’t take money with you when you die."
Ross elaborated on his point of view, wondering whether a person's lifestyle genuinely changed after they achieved a particular amount of money. He said, "True or false: Once you hit a certain number, it’s like, does it matter anymore? Like, your lifestyle doesn’t change."
According to Ross, amassing wealth above a certain threshold, whether eight or nine digits, had no substantial impact on the manner of one's life. He asserted that regardless of the monetary value, people would still need to work in order to maintain their standard of living.
