Bill Perkins Gives to the People, Stirs Up Prop Action at PokerStars Championship Bahamas

Bill Perkins may be known as a high-living, big-spending baller, but it wasn't always that way.

Years ago, Perkins worked as a clerk. In need of more income to make ends meet, he took on night work as a limo driver. Chauffering people miles above him on the income scale opened Perkins' eyes to a whole different lifestyle.

"It was motivating," he said. "Just seeing people enjoying life and what their excess capital afforded them."

Now that Perkins has made his millions and become a member of the class he once looked to as inspiration, he wants to help those who are in his old proverbial shoes.
