If you were a millionaire, what would you do with your money? Make prudent investments? Contribute to charity? Or make high-stakes prop bets? Well, it looks like the third option is what Bill Perkins and Dan Bilzerian enjoy doing the most.

Perkins recently tweeted details of a prop bet with Bilzerian that involved a 35-hour week total phone screen time. Basically, the bet is expected to imbibe the importance of staying away from devices such as smartphones, laptops, desktops, etc. This is expected to continue for 100 days, with a $10,000 an hour penalty for each hour over netted. Perkins used the hashtag ‘Mental Health,’ signifying that the prop bet was for a good cause. However, with not much detail about the bet being revealed, it is still unknown whether the eventual winner will be donating the money they win to a charity or institution focussing on mental health.

The duo has gained notoriety for the numerous prop bets they have made with others and sometimes even each other. About four years ago, controversy’s poster child Bilzerian, had won a prop bet against Perkins after completing a 300-mile bike ride between Los Angeles to Las Vegas within 48 hours.

Last we had heard of the duo; they were both in entirely different situations. Bilzerian was being sued by the former president of his company Ignite, Curtis Heffernan, for allegedly misappropriating company funds for his personal expenses. The case is still ongoing in Superior Court. On the other hand, Perkins had announced on social media that his long-time girlfriend, Lara Sebastian, had agreed to marry him.
