Guy Laliberte Bio
Born on Sept. 2, 1959, in Quebec, Canada, Guy Laliberte knew that he wanted to pursue a career in the performing arts at the young age of 16. The college dropout eventually created a billion-dollar business. He is the founder and CEO of Cirque Du Soleil.
The success of his shows provides him the money to pursue other interests, such as poker. When he has time, Laliberte competes in a few of the richest games and tournaments in the world. His biggest success came in the World Poker Tour Five-Star World Poker Classic. He finished in fourth place, for nearly $700,000. Coincidentally, the event took place at Bellagio, in Las Vegas, where the show ?O? by Cirque Du Soleil is performed. Laliberte is also featured on the show High Stakes Poker on GSN.
