Mark Cuban: The Maverick Billionaire Paperback – Big Book, 11 December 2013

Great condicion and timing

Can't say I was ever a big fan of Mark Cuban UNTIL I read this book. WOW, this was a regular guy just like me who is now a self-made billionaire! I always thought he acted like he does because he came from money but it turns out he acts just like he did when he was broke. Poor prejudgement on my part. The insight and advice that can be gleaned from this book are well worth more than the cover price. I am now, and will always be, a Cubanite.No balls, no baby!

The book itself is well written and typical of any business biography-style effort, mostly going through a “history” of Mark Cuban’s business endeavors and analyzing what the author believes to have been well done or otherwise, where Cuban succeeded, et cetera. Take note that the book is not authorized or endorsed by Cuban or anyone in any of his organizations.Most of the information provided is taken from second hand sources found across the web, the author is just digging up and repackaging what’s already out there. Some of the information provided is definitely incorrect / misinterpreted (claims Cuban took home $2.5 billion off of Broadcast.com)… there’s a lot of “filler” content on sports / basketball. Mennh.It’s an okay read, but isn’t going to give you any real insight into the inner workings of Mark Cuban or his businesses that can’t easily be found online.

I'm a big fan of Mark Cuban. I love investment and I really look up to investors such as Mark Cuban knowing how he built his own company and made billions of dollars. This story really inspired me. If one man can journey through all these struggles and get such great success then I can also obtain such success. To invest in companies like Landmark Theatres, Broadcast.com, Magnolia Pictures and the NBA Team, Dallas Mavericks, is a huge component in me looking up this person. He takes huge risks but still comes out successful.I was impressed to see how his companies grew so fast and made so much money but what I can say is that Mark Cuban is my favourite shark, by far.

Mark "Tells it like it is." For anyone who has children or friends who think life is not fair and the world is against them, buy them Mark's book for a gift. He is the poster boy for, "Drive, Motivation, and Ambition" to get ahead and make it in life.
