Who Is Mark Cuban?

Entrepreneur and professional sports team owner Mark Cuban has ventured into many diverse businesses. He made his fortune through the sale of startups MicroSolutions and Broadcast.com in the 1990s, and later became known as the zealous owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. Cuban has also invested in film production and has appeared on such TV series as Dancing with the Stars and Shark Tank.

Cuban was born on July 31, 1958, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Cuban had a typical middle-class childhood. His father, Norton, spent nearly half a century working at a car upholstery shop.
