Mark Cuban is undoubtedly one of the most successful businessmen of all time. Owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, co-owner of 2929 Entertainment, as well as one of the major ‘sharks’ of the TV show Shark Tank, the businessman cum producer became a billionaire at just the age of 40 with his incredible intelligence and skills.
Kevin Hart, on the other hand, is one of the most wealthy and successful comedians cum actors in the whole wide world with a net worth of a whopping $450 million. Yet, when Cuban shared with him his insane $5.7 billion worth investment story, Hart was nearly on the verge of losing his mind!
Mark Cuban Had Kevin Hart Go Insane After Hearing His Investment Story
Kevin Hart may be one of the best comedians cum actors of all time to hold a show like Cold as Balls, but inviting the sarcastic billionaire businessman cum producer Mark Cuban over for an episode of the superhit show was an even better decision than starting the show in the first place.
In one of the most hilarious episodes of the show of all time aka the third episode of Season 3 of Cold as Balls, Cuban started sharing with Hart how he became a billionaire with minimal investment. He said:
“I started the first streaming company. Back in 1995. I went to Indiana University. I was like, ‘We gotta find a way to listen to Indiana Basketball living in Texas.’ So, the internet was happening, and I’m like, ‘Let’s use this internet thing to figure out if we could listen to basketball games.’”
That was probably one of the best decisions that the businessman ever made because everything that came for him from then onwards was some wealthy good luck, and some wealthy good luck only.
“Then it went from listening, then it went to broadcasting on video. Then it went to go on public; sold it for $5.7 billion and a couple of months later, I bought the Mavs [Dallas Mavericks]. [I bought that company for] about $8,000 dollars.”
That last bit about Mark Cuban buying the company for $8,000 dollars seriously got to Hart and had the comedian lose his mind as he reacted:
“God, d—! I just spent $8,000 on some f—ing wine, you idiot!”
Yet, even Mark Cuban’s investment of $8,000 dollars didn’t make Kevin Hart go as insane as much as it did while hearing about how much he paid to buy his basketball team the Dallas Mavericks, and how much it is worth in today’s day and age!
How Mark Cuban Earned Big Bucks With His Basketball Team Investment
During the same episode, Mark Cuban also shared how much he invested, out of all that he earned from his streaming company, into buying the Dallas Mavericks basketball team.
And the conversation that flowed between him and Kevin Hart while discussing the details was beyond hilarious:
“Kevin Hart: What did you pay for the team?
Mark Cuban: $285 million.
Hart: $285 million?! What the f— is that team worth now?
Cuban: $2.5 billion?
Hart: God, d—!”
Turns out Kevin Hart could take some serious investment tips from Mark Cuban!
