Alias plyboy_binny at PokerStars buys a Porsche with his FPPs
Friday, February 6th, 2009
In January 2009 the player with the alias plyboy_binni at PokerStars used his Frequent Player Points to buy a brand new Porsche in the PokerStars VIP shop.
Hiding behind this alias is former table tennis player from New Zeeland but his real name is not made public.
In order to be able to buy a Porsche from the PokerStars VIP Shop you need to have reached the SuperNova Elite status which means that you need to have generated at least 1 000 000 FPPs during the year. This sounds like a lot of points to generate in a year but keep in mind that you will earn more FPPs the higher your VIP level is. But it is still an amazing achievment.
The total price of the Porsche is 3 000 000 FPPs when you buy it in the VIP Shop so it is not just enough to reach the SuperNova Elite status, you will need to earn another 2 Million points in order to buy the car.
This is what the happy owner of a brand new Porsche had to say about his latest purschase:
“In the end I’ve found it’s best if the majority of my friends don’t know how much I make”. “They just know that I make enough to not have to worry about buying drinks.”
If he should have too many of those drinks one day I dont think he needs to ask people twice to drive him home. With this new car I am sure they will be begging him to get to drive it.
