You're looking at a billionaire who can predict the future. Mark Cuban was early on crypto and turned $1,000 into $5.7 Billion. And when the world economy collapsed in 1999, he made an insane bet to protect all his wealth... Here's his story: Born in 1958 in Pittsburgh, Cuban showed entrepreneurial spirit early on. Aged 12, he was selling garbage bags door-to-door to buy expensive basketball shoes. Cuban started his own computer consulting company, MicroSolutions, in 1983. In 1990, Cuban sold MicroSolutions to CompuServe for $6M. But this was just the beginning. In 1995, Cuban and his friend Todd Wagner started Audionet (later Broadcast. com) combining their love for college basketball and webcasting. The dotcom boom was in full swing, and in 1999, Yahoo! acquired Broadcast. com for $5.7 billion in stock. Cuban became an instant billionaire at 41. His business success caught the eye of Shark Tank, where he became one of the main "sharks." Follow for more valuable content.
