MOLLY BLOOM BIOGRAPHY

Molly Bloom is an inspirational keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and bestselling author of “Molly’s Game” (2014). Molly Bloom is best known for her memoir, which was adapted into an award-winning film by Aaron Sorkin. Her story chronicles her transformation from a college student and LA waitress into the architect of the largest and most notorious private poker game in the world. Her exclusive games attracted hundreds of millions of dollars and high-profile players such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, A-Rod, and Ben Affleck.

Her professional journey began in the world of athletics as a world-class skier. Despite being diagnosed with severe scoliosis at a young age, which required surgery that threatened to end her skiing career, Molly Bloom made a remarkable recovery and returned to the slopes. Molly Bloom later joined the U.S. Ski Team and by age 21, was ranked No. 3 in North America in moguls. Her Olympic aspirations were cut short when she left the team to explore new opportunities, leading her to what was intended to be a one-year sabbatical in Los Angeles.

While finishing her degree in Political Science from the University of Colorado – Boulder, her life took an unexpected turn. As Molly Bloom was preparing to apply to top-tier law schools, an assistant job in LA propelled her into the high-stakes world of underground poker. Molly Bloom became an accidental entrepreneur, running one of the most exclusive poker games globally, and generated as much as $4 million per year. This pivotal experience became the foundation for her compelling memoir and subsequent film adaptation.

The cinematic rendition of “Molly’s Game,” written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, features an impressive cast including Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, Michael Cera, Brian d’Arcy James, and Chris O’Dowd. Her captivating story has earned her widespread media attention, with appearances on shows like Ellen and Vice, and coverage in The Los Angeles Times, NPR, and Vulture. Molly Bloom has delivered speeches at prestigious events, including Fortune’s Most Powerful Women summit, and for companies like Blackrock Financial and SiriusXM Radio. In 2018, Molly Bloom was honored to give the commencement speech at Colorado State University.

Her expertise extends beyond her entrepreneurial ventures into motivational speaking, where Molly Bloom shares insights on resilience, reinvention, and leadership. Her experiences have equipped her with unique skills in event planning, risk management, and public speaking. Recognized for her ability to design and deliver engaging presentations, Molly Bloom continues to inspire audiences worldwide with her extraordinary journey and insightful perspectives on overcoming adversity.

In addition to her professional achievements, Molly Bloom is passionate about personal growth and empowerment. Her hobbies include skiing, yoga, and spending time with family and friends. Her story is not only a testament to her tenacity and resilience but also a source of inspiration for those facing their own challenges, proving that with determination and courage, one can turn even the most daunting obstacles into opportunities for success.

Molly Bloom on How Molly’s Game Got Her Out of the Poker Life

VULTURE

As soon I started speaking to Molly Bloom over the phone, I had to check my ears — that wasn’t actually Jessica Chastain, doing interviews in character, was it? The breathy, measured tone that Chastain adopts as the infamous “poker princess” in Aaron Sorkin’s Molly’s Game was all there on the other end of the line, but as we spoke, it was clear that Bloom herself was under a hell of a lot less stress than the bandage-dress-clad screen incarnation.

A conversation with Molly Bloom, author of Molly’s Game Published: Feb. 23, 2023

University of Colorado Boulder

Molly's Game is based on my memoir, and it chronicles my early adulthood as a competitive mogul skier. I had already had to overcome some pretty extraordinary circumstances where I had spinal reconstructive surgery. At that time I was told I couldn't compete in moguls ever again, but I ended up making the National Development Group, where I was ranked third overall in North America and made it to an Olympic qualifying event.

In conversation with Molly Bloom

The OXFORD STUDENT

To talk with Molly Bloom is to talk with someone who was once a near-Olympic skier, suffered a traumatic, career-ending injury, moved alone to LA to have a break before starting law school, became a poker game runner featuring some the world’s most sought-after male celebrities, had that game collapse, moved to New York, started a new game, have it shut down by the FBI, and later be indicted in a money-laundering scheme.
