Lynn Gilmartin Wiki
Lynn was born on 3 November 1984 in Dublin, Ireland and moved with her parents to Melbourne, Australia at the end of 1986. At that time she was just sixteen months old. As a child, Lynn loved everything that would bring her to the scene, including dance and acting. She went to La Trobe University and RMIT University, from where she had the dream of becoming a travel show host.
During her school days, thanks to her charming appearance, she worked in the fields of drama, dance, concerts, musicals, TV commercials. After graduating from high school, she decided to study marketing and got a fantastic job at Crown Melbourne, Australia’s largest casino.
In 2009 Lynn Gilmartin found herself in the poker industry, working as a journalist for PokerNews.com and PokerStar.tv, from where she frequently hosted the World Series of Poker, European Poker Tour, Latin American Poker Tour, and the Asia Pacific Poker Tour. But she first appeared on Australian and English television screens in 2012 as host of the Crown’s Aussie Millions Poker Championship.
In 2013, she moved to Los Angeles to host the twelfth season of the World Poker Tour on Fox Sports with Mike Sexton and Vince. She has been a side reporter for ESPN Australia’s coverage of the World Series of Poker Asia Pacific and One HD and ESPN Australia’s coverage of Crown’s Aussie Millions Poker Championship.
It was featured on the cover of Bluff Magazine in December 2013. She’s worth $1 million dollars, as in 2010, when she earned over $100 thousand dollars as her annual salary, but her final salary is not yet mentioned, but we believe she deserves a handsome salary from her presenting career and other various endorsements.
Her view of money, however, is very inspiring. For them, money is an energy exchange. “The more I flow freely with it, the more it flows freely with me.”
She is such a hard-working, motivated young woman and, not to forget, she is a big fan of Kris Carr, Marianne Williamson, and Eckhart Tolle. She is also the founder of Jooce Bar, Holistic Wellbeing Coach and Permaculture Amateur.
Lynn Gilmartin Married, Husband
Lynn Gilmartin is not married yet, but it is reported that the beautiful lady is romantically connected to the 2009 World Series of Poker Champion, Angel Guillen.
This American-Mexican couple has been together for more than three years and the couple seems to be inseparable as they are often seen together on events, holidays and romantic trips. Gilmartin met Guillen in 2009 when Angel took part in the annual World Series Poker 2009.
Then he became the ultimate champion against 1,534 players and won the prize money of US $530,548.00. Not only that, but he also won the famous “gold bracelet” against player Mika Paasonen.
Although the couple has been dating for a long time, they have not announced any great news of them tying the knots. Since we wish the couple a lifetime of happiness and togetherness, we hope they will soon settle down and soon start a beautiful own family.
