The true story of the 26-year-old woman behind the most exclusive, high-stakes underground poker game in the world

When Molly Bloom was a little girl in a small Colorado town, she dreamed of a life without rules and limits, a life where she didn’t have to measure up to anyone or anything – where she could become whatever she wanted.

She ultimately got more than she ever could have bargained for.

In Molly’s Game, she takes you through her adventures running an exclusive private poker game catering to Hollywood royalty like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck, athletes, billionaires, politicians and financial titans. With rich detail, Molly describes a world of glamour, privilege and secrecy in which she made millions, lived the high life and fearlessly took on the Russian and Italian mobs – until she met the
one adversary she could not outsmart: the United
States government.

Ratings and reviews

An addictive read. Inspiring to where focus and desire can lead. Questioning on the end result. Highlights the value of money. Couldn't put it down had to follow Molly's journey. What is she going to do with all her skills next?

Watched the movie and now read the book. Loved both!

Riveting. Such a different world from that most people live in and an insight into the people that live there.
