Who is Molly Bloom?

Born on April 21, 1978, Bloom is an American entrepreneur and speaker. Before the formation of her poker empire, she had trained to become an Olympic skier. Sadly, her dreams were crushed following her injury during the qualifying rounds. Later, Bloom shifts base to Los Angeles for a year. This is when she’s introduced to poker.
