Why do people keep quoting Mark Cuban? He got lucky by selling his company to Yahoo just before the dotcom crash. I don't know any other worthy thing he's done since then. I really wish reporters weren't so lazy and just keep parroting things from people that they've heard of without qualifying how useful or effective the source is.
- gargarplex 9y agoIf you define "worthy" as "financially successful" then there is a lot HDNet So many media appearances that he's a celebrity and his appearance at a location becomes valuable/monetizable. (Dancing With The Stars, Entourage, etc.) Shark Tank (9 seasons of broadcast /syndicated tv - think about money from the reruns) Dallas Mavericks (NBA sports team) owner who has appreciated the value of the franchise not to mention won championships And last but not least he is accessible to entrepreneurs and responsive via email.

- gargarplex 9y agoI don't see the point to your comment and I would also say it's more complex than simply the deterministic result of selling Broadcast to Yahoo! and smartly locking in the stock price with a collar trade... I'd say it's the product of his charisma, natural talent, work ethic, experience at previous companies such as Micro-Solutions and like ventures, etc.
