That's not true.

Before Broadcast.com, he started a computer company (MicroSolutions) and ran a very successful hedge fund. After Broadcast.com, he bought the Mavs, started HD Net, formed a charity (Fallen Patriot Fund), actively invests as an angel and cofounded numerous movie production & distribution companies.

Broadcast.com was certainly lucky, but Cuban was already a millionaire long before becoming a billionaire.



And on top of that, when he talks, it makes sense! I mean, it feels like what he is saying is true even though I don't personally have an evidence to support it. The numbers could be anecdotal, who knows. In 6 Billion people, there are probably going to be one or two or 10 people who make every "wrong" decision and still become billionaires.

He may be one of them.
