Mark Cuban is most popularly known as one of the ‘sharks’ in the widely recognized reality show Shark Tank. He has been an investor on the show since 2011 and is the richest of all the sharks. The billionaire also has his share of hilarious stories from back in the day.
Bill Gates is another well-known billionaire and Cuban has time and again talked about his history with him and how they haven’t talked to one another after an incident in 1999. It seems Gates one-upped Cuban in a bar by talking away some girls that he brought to a club.

Bill Gates Once ‘Stole’ Mark Cuban’s Girls At a Club
Mark Cuban recently appeared on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast where he talked about how billionaires behave and all sorts of stuff including his life and career. He recalled a hilarious anecdote where Bill Gates took away the girls that he brought to the club to have drinks with. He said,
“One time I’m out and we went to this club and I’m like “I’m gonna get us all a round of drinks” and I come back and my girls are gone, my girls are gone. I’d come later to find out they got a better offer from Bill Gates. It was early day at Microsoft when he made his first billions but whatever Bill stole my girls.”
This was indeed a hilarious encounter to hear from Cuban, considering their history together. Cuban also in the same interview emphasized how most billionaires are well-behaved and consider themselves lucky to be in the position they are in.

Mark Cuban is Leaving Shark Tank After Season 16
Mark Cuban recently appeared on Showtime’s All the Smoke podcast hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. They came to the topic of Shark Tank which is currently in its 15th season. While talking about the same, Cuban made a big revelation as he announced that he is leaving the reality show next year after season 16. He said,
“Next year, our 16th year, is gonna be my last year, so I got one more year to go. We’ve trained multiple generations of entrepreneurs that if somebody can come from Iowa or Sacramento or wherever, and show up on the carpet of “Shark Tank” and show their business and get a deal, it’s going to inspire generations of kids,”
While ABC has not confirmed this big announcement, Cuban seems to be determined in his stance of leaving the show after being one of the main sharks since season three of Shark Tank. He’s one of the main draws for audiences tuning in to the show and his absence will truly be felt.
