"Mark Cuban: How I became a billionaire" Not interviewed for the story: Mark Cuban.

The best thing I like about Mark Cuban is that he openly and unabashedly acknowledges that luck played a big role in his success.

“Mark Cuban got in at the beginning of the internet boom”. There you have it lol.

The level of awareness he has is awesome. At least he knows he is the luckiest man, giving credit to faith rather than himself. That shows intelligence and humility.

Those who are saying Elon Musk is better have to realize that this isn't a popularity contest. If you want to be successful, you have to learn from ALL great people, not just one. EVERYONE has something we can learn.

I've never understood how Yahoo could be so big when no one is using it

Cuban is humble enough to admit luck and timing play a huge role. Persistence, attitude, vision and 100 hour weeks are always prerequisites however.

Making millions is easy. Earning $1 billion is just becoming a millionaire 1000 times!

How is Brian his little brother when he looks 20 years older than Mark lmao..

At least Mark Cuban recognizes he was very fortunate, the timing of his internet based companies was rather impressive.

When you invest you're buying a day you don't have to work.

His hair is a different color in every video-- and for that reason, I'm out.

So Mark Cuban stole the idea of AudioNet just as Mark Zuckerberg stole the idea of Facebook. The Lesson: Dont pitch your business idea to a Mark.

At 3:50 Mark took a 50k loan from the guy. At another video, Marks brutally says "If you start a business with loan, you're a moron". Mark, I am so confused.

1:11 He humbly says he's lucky, but we all know that luck falls into the laps of those who are most prepared

MARKS BROTHER IS LIKE A CLONE THAT WAS NOT COMPLETELY DONE

1 thing I can say from personal experience, is that he takes care of not only his family & employees, but also staff & employees of other companies wherever he goes or is stationed. Thank you Mark for your generosity come Holiday season, God Bless!

"Luck is when hard work meets opportunity."

Mark you just inspired me. I hate that i am too self driven and it sometimes takes a toll on my team. But in all i love to win and i love to have my team experience success. I hope we someday make the world see all the results of our efforts.

5:19: "My brother, who I will always talk up because I need his handouts, hired me, a trained lawyer, as a stock boy. Oh, gosh, bless him!"

Running the mavericks like that is absolutely visionary. Bringing spokesperson marketing tactics to sports teams and making the team feel like winners by giving them passionate fans and amazing treatment. No wonder they won. He even had the money for the fines so he really went with no rules.

Mark Cuban - " In football you play 60 minutes , in basketball 48 minutes but in business it's 24/7/365 and the whole world is trying to kick your ass." *WOW !* 👏👏👏

How can you not love this guy and cheer for him?

A few years from now, you'll regret the chances you fail to take on cryptocurrency today. We are sitting on a goldmine.

I once knew a woman who made her husband millionaire. Unfortunately he was billionaire before.

I think the biggest thing to take from this that endless amounts of work doesn't always equate to the level of success you expect. Most of the time, you have to be lucky. You've got to be in the right place at the right time, and you need to have connections with the dedication to work harder than your competitors .

This isn't rocket science. Yahoo grossly overpaid for his Internet broadcast network in the days of dialup. They over paid by such a huge margin that they were all fired because of it. That sale alone made him a billionaire and after you make your first billion making your second becomes much much easier.

"get drunk with as many people as I possibly could" there is hope for me yet

He had my curiosity but now he has my attention, what a pioneer, the only people who are crazy enough to change the world are the ones who actually do. See you at the top Mark.

Mark Cuban was lucky enough that Yahoo was stupid enough to throw money at that crap like a lot of companies did during boom. And they all lost a lot of money also.

Really enjoyed the back story for Mark and how he become very successful.

I saw him walking after a marathon in NYC he was nice and polite when I recognized him he just said hi but he looked tired so I didn’t say more … he participated in that marathon but he was trying to scape ☺️

What are people talking about luck for? He earned it. He was there at the right place at the right time because his whole life he had basically been preparing for it. He was smart. He invested the time and the money into the internet and he got it. All these people talking about luck are kidding themselves. You make your own luck for fuck sake, hard work does it.

"I dressed up in a suit and tie. We sat on the floor and watched basketball for 4-5 hours.. I think we ate coco puffs and dorito's .." lmfao

I wrote a book based on how I went from reading at a 4th grade level at age 26 to starting a brick and mortar business that employees over 70 great people. The book shows a path on how to start a business and stay in business for over 30 years. The importance of taking action and what kind of action. I don't consider it to be self help but personal development. I believe THE MORE I GIVE THE MORE I LIVE. The name of my book is MENTOR THE KID AND THE CEO.

Let me sum up this 25 minutes: Mark Cuban, he was good at something, and he capitalized on it. Whether or not he is an a-hole, which I get the feel he is, he is good at something, and with perseverance he pushed forward and became a billionaire with luck, hard work, a bit of shady stuff and pixie dust.

Great Story.......he's obviously an intelligent guy who has done some remarkable things. I'm looking forward to seeing what he's going to do next....

Kobe Bryan once said *the one mistake we make in life is believing we have time*

He applied for the formula, The magic of thinking big. and he was hard-working and passionate.

What an interesting mini documentary on such a successful individual. While with some controversial actions and decisions made, he was at the right places at the right time, working hard wherever he was.

OK, I’m giving into watching this video for the first time after seeing it in my Recommend list nearly every day for 6-Years.

All billionaires have one thing in common. OWNERSHIP. It has nothing to do with work. It is all about ownership of assets. That isn't to say they didn't earn it. Many truly worked hard to build up their businesses. However, there are just as many people who were simply lucky and already came from nice households which allowed them to use their parents' money to start up businesses and hopefully strike it rich(er).

You can't help but respect, admire and really like Mark Cuban. He is bold, intelligent, amiable and focused. This is exactly the type of American, people worldwide would like to imitate, hang with and imitate.

THIS GUY ENJOY LIFE YOU CAN SEE IT ON ITS FACE ! big up MARK great work with MAVS !

Outstanding individual. What drive and passion!!

" Somebody's got to be the luckiest guy in the world, & I'm just glad its me " what a badass... I feel the same way!

The video is very interesting. I really learned a lot. I admire Mark and enjoy watching him on Shark Tank.

Mark: im going to the BBC Me: what!?! Mark: Billionare Boys club Me: oh ok

The arena chanting "Thank you Mark" was icing on the cake... Awesome stuff!!

build a company and got lucky that tech was so massively overvalued when he sold out. His company no longer exists in any form, so he pretty much got paid billions for something that turned out to be worthless.

I had the really cool opportunity to meet Mark in person just outside the restrooms at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas (I had just walked out… I don't think he needs to USE the restroom :-) a couple weeks ago. He really was a nice, approachable person and we just spoke for a few seconds (I know how valuable his time is) but it really was cool.

outstanding documentary!

Mark Cuban has one thing that everyone has, brave. the braveness to do anything, whether it is going to fail or not, he's a TRUELY DO-ER !!!

now I understand why yahoo went down the drain.

Consistency consistency consistency!!

This is great for beginners. It’s time we let our money work for us as much as we work for it. Appreciate the video.

Most people just log on RU-vid to get info on stocks to pick, without basic understanding on portfolio selection and risk tolerance. Also get the best from a financial advisor and work on your investing tolerance and with time you'd learn to navigate the market all by yourself

Mark's younger brother reminds me of sid the sloth from the ice age lmao

Simply, a great guy and an example to follow

All this are so bright. I am so happy to learn from them.

The stances each individual takes upon being introduced are hilarious.

What's with the weird posing when they introduce interviewees? Strange....

I KNEW him as the owner of dallas Mavericks and a BIllionaire but not the fact of other accomplishment and that he lead the team from the start when they were worst. "thank you mark" damn gotta give goosebump. he is real entrepreneur tycoon.

Really great documentary. Cuban Rocks.

very inspiring, thanks for the upload.

Mark Cuban is awesome love that guy he's my favorite on shark tank:) a smart guy.

I seen his brother on CG kid and he's inspiring AF

Super inspiring, great content, thanks for sharing this upload

probably one of the most beneficial and meaningful videos i’ve ever watched on youtube !!

"I'm going for the bbc."

Well Done, Mr. Cuban! If we want to achieve something let's go and get it instead of being jealous. Shalom to y'all...

Thanks for the update

I watched this back in around 2015 or 2016. Inspired me alot

Look at business as a sport! Interesting idea..

here in my garage

Yes that's how you win! Sales cures everything!

thanks alot for the video😊💐

great doc!

Cuban's too smart to be a criminal. And he deserves every penny he has.

Super inspiring and validating!

I like this guy already that type of confidence, charisma and charm can only bring one success.

5:38 Lifetime pass at American airlines 13:15 Yahoo stuffs up again 18:06 HDNet 19:25 20:10 satan 20:20 Dirk Vs Cuban 22:45 calm Cuban 24:14 think outside the box 24:33 Cuban meme

The thing with Mark, and I like the guy, is that at the root of his wealth is selling his site at an insanely overpriced evaluation, at the time there was no shortage of reckless buyers. Which I respect, but as someone who took advantage of a moment, not actually built a real successful business. In other words, imagine shark tank, someone asking for a BILLION dollars for a company with just $1 million in sales. That’s what Mark did. There was a short window in time where investors were throwing so much money at internet stocks, it worked.

What a brilliant documentary.

love your story Mark .

He is rich bc of his drive, He is a billionaire from luck

Great example of entrepreneurial thinking. Skill passion and intelligence = great results. Luck played only smart part of his success. You can sense in the video how strong is his persistence, vision and desire to win.

“Cuban didn’t leave his house for 3 weeks” so Cuban had to stay on his side of the city for 3 weeks 🤣

Meet the right people at the right time and you will be uplifted so happy I finally got out of rat race thanks Thomas Stuart mark

Interesting Bio - I admire him. Not sure why they left out his seasons of Shark Tank, I love that show & he is my favorite shark!

Successful people don't become that way overnight.what most people see at a glance-wealth,a great career,purpose- is the result of hardwork and hustle over time.

This guy gives me a vibe of “fake it till you make it” lol

6:48 is the oddest moment ever.

Mark Cuban: "I ripped off Yahoo during the Dotcom Boom".

7:08 - 7:42 When you save up $$$ for 1-2 years for that iced out chain, finally bring it out and the luckiest/lickiest tough guy takes it from you and says he won't be needing you anymore

Makes me want to read his blog.

Wish this was done for starting many Innovation Nations . To solutions focus problem solving problem solving, for the existence of all.

Marc you are the best in your game. Keep it up my man!!!
