LoWhich initially seems cool, but it didn’t go very well.
The Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) is a highly prestigious university that is well known and respected in Pakistan, so a lot of quality and professionalism is expected.
This is why the criticism after they invited Dan Bilzerian was exceptionally harsh. The invitation of Dan sparked a lot of negativity, especially on social media platforms such as Twitter.
Dan Bilzerian currently lives in the U.S., and since he is a successful businessman, he was asked to come all the way over to his country of origin to speak for the LUMS seminar Drive Your Passion.
Dan Bilzerian’s father is the owner of a very successful big business in the UK that leases very luxurious and expensive cars. Dan himself prefers driving the Lamborghini.
Dan believes this is the symbol of success and the biggest proof thereof. It’s not uncommon for people to feel Dan Bilzerian is flaunting his success too much. Because of this, his generally perceived attitude, but mainly the fact that his success seemed to have been inherited from his father, lead to a lot of students feeling bewildered when Dan Bilzerian was asked to do a talk in front of them.
Ultimately, this lead to a continuous argument back and forth. He did end up attending and some actually appreciated it. After all, he still has some kind of story to tell about running a successful business, no matter how he got this business and at what age.
Although quite a number of students didn’t feel he completely deserved this kind of attention from a serious university. The LUMS clearly did, so the deicision was eventually respected..
