shulman's half-world half-price half-million dollar luxury mobile penthouse.. is the name of the miniseries i just came up with, that probably wouldn't be interesting or fun to watch, but would be if I was in it.

and, if the butler is a little person, it's easily worth a half a half mil and would be a cracking comedy everyone would enjoy.

I think the point is that other rich pros, such as Barry Greenstein, give lots of money to charity

Meanwhile, Barry Shulman thinks nothing of dropping millions of dollars on pricey cruises, yet we never hear of him giving one dime to charity or to anyone but himself...and beleive you me if he did give to charity he'd let us know about it, just like Greenstein does

Does anyone have info to the contrary?

we do have to credit barry with one thing, however

most old rich guys like him would have dumped their first wife by now and married a younger hotter trophy wife, so at least he's loyal

or maybe he's worried allyn will get half of his millions if they do split

check out that photo of lunch onboard the ship, a four-tiered tower of plates of lobster tail

LET THEM EAT LOBSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how Gambling 911 completely assumes that Shulman would purchase the most expensive stateroom on the entire ship to make their story better. Worst reporting by any poker related site AINEC.

Subject matter aside, the reporting is pretty terrible.

He purchased the same penthouse suite on the same exact boat last time he was on it? Fair assumption IMO.
