Rick Salomon (born January 24, 1968) is an American poker player, mostly known for his relationships with various female celebrities, including E.G. Daily, Shannen Doherty, Paris Hilton, and Pamela Anderson. He is also known for winning $2.8 million in the 2014 World Series of Poker's Big One for One Drop event.
Salomon was born and raised in Neptune Township, New Jersey.
He has owned an online gambling site.
On July 1, 2014, Salomon won $2.8 million in the World Series of Poker Big One for One Drop.
In 2003, a sex tape featuring Salomon and then-girlfriend Paris Hilton was leaked onto the Internet. Shortly afterward, Salomon filed a lawsuit against the company that distributed the tape, and against the Hilton family, whom he accused of tarnishing his reputation by suggesting that he had exploited Hilton. Salomon further claimed in his $10 million suit that representatives of the Hiltons tried to discourage media outlets from playing excerpts of the tape by saying that Hilton was underage when the tape was made (which would have made showing the tape illegal), and were attempting to crush him to preserve the image they had created for her. Hilton later sued the company that released the tape, Kahatani Ltd., for $30 million for violation of privacy and emotional distress.
In April 2004, Salomon began distributing the tape himself through adult-film company Red Light District Video under the title 1 Night in Paris. In July 2004, Salomon dropped his lawsuit against the Hilton family after Paris Hilton's privacy lawsuit was thrown out of court. Salomon and Red Light District Video agreed to pay Hilton $400,000 plus a percentage of the tape's sale profit.
In 1995, Salomon married voice actress Elizabeth Daily. The couple had two daughters, Hunter and Tyson, before divorcing in 2000.
In 2002, Salomon married actress Shannen Doherty, but the marriage was annulled after nine months.
