“How is Cuban making money IN TEXAS!”

Cuban made his Billion by selling the domain name “business.com” during the dot-com craze.

Beyond that, he’s living off of investments. If you get 5% return every year from $1 billion, that’s a whole lot of money. This effort was funded by the equivalent of a trip to a NBA ball game for the average income.

Cuban’s fortune came from creating broadcast.com which he sold to Yahoo for about $6 billion.

It was “broadcast.com”. Yahoo bought the domain name for 5.7 Billion in Yahoo stock. Now, Yahoo doesn’t even use the domain, lol. All that money for nothing.

Cuban is such as a$$hat.
