Mark Cuban co-founded the business that made him billions, Broadcast.com, in part so he could listen to college basketball games on the Internet. He sold it, bought the Mavericks, yelled at the refs from the stands with the rest of the fans, and won an NBA championship. Last election season, he started a Twitter brawl when he responded to Donald Trump’s bounties for Obama’s paperwork by putting up $1 million for Trump to shave his head. He’s like the funny, obnoxious, self-proclaimed visionary you drank beer with in college, except that his get-rich schemes actually got him rich. Very.
