I remember watching a documentary on Mark Cuban where he says that this unlimited flight pass was the first thing he purchased when he sold Broadcast.com. I'm sure he began flying via personal jet shortly after.
- mhartl 14y agoI saw that, too; it's from an interview at TechCrunch50 in 2008. You'll see that he actually bought the lifetime pass before Broadcast.com. Most people don't realize that Cuban was already rich when he started work on Broadcast.com, and came out of early retirement to do it. He didn't have buy-the-Mavericks money until Broadcast sold to Yahoo! at a bubble-era valuation, but he had buy-an-AAirpass money (and then some) long before that. I especially like the story of how he once used his pass to kick Magic Johnson off a flight. "That's how I roll!"
