Dan Bilzerian may control the poker airwaves in North America and Europe but in Asia another social media star has been making headlines.
Guo Meimei, dubbed a ‘professional mistress’ with a penchant for fast cars and luxury yachts, was recently arrested in China following allegations of illegal sportsbetting.The arrest is thought to be linked to the recent case involving high-stakes players Richard Yong and Paul Phua, which saw millions of dollars illegally wagered on the 2014 FIFA World Cup across a string of Asian betting sites.Meimei is a well-known figure in China for her social media profile. Much like Bilzerian, she posted endless pictures of parties and cash but after being arrested the 23-year-old was forced to publically admit that she slept with rich clients for up to $17,000-a-night.On top of this, it was also revealed that she regularly took part in a string of high-stakes poker games in Macau.According to an article in the Sunday Morning Herald newspaper, Meimei had a ‘godfather’ figure that paid her a monthly retainer and, allegedly, funded her over 60 trips to play poker in Macau.The social media princess now faces a lengthy prison sentence if found guilty in court.
