Genuinely probably because he got to be a billionaire in an insanely lucky deal, I feel like that’s the only way you can stay (relatively) down to Earth with that much cash.
Not to mention, he tends to spend his money by investing in startups that (as far as I can tell) actually solve a problem. He’s not one to cut corners and inflate values needlessly, and he’s far more concerned with making a business successful than extracting every penny of profit possible.
Do I think it’s bad that one man has as much power has he does? Absolutely. Am I glad that at least one man with as much power as he does uses it to make the world a little better? You bet.
Mark Cuban is not an example of why Billionaires should be allowed to exist, he’s just an example of how being a billionaire doesn’t NECESSARILY mean you’re an evil person.
Call me a victim of a good PR team but my general impression of Mark Cuban is that he’s definitely in the better half of billionaires
That doesn’t qualify him for public office of course
Actually philanthropic billionaire? Cool, but we shouldn’t have to rely on billionaire philanthropy to get by.
Public office? To be fair he’s as qualified as our most recent ex-president.
“Better half of billionaires” is a pretty low bar.
There was a time when I felt that way about Musk so I now have a 20 year probation period before I assume they aren’t trying to enslave mankind
There’s no good billionaire. He’s a billionaire because he stole the wages and work from the people below him.
He hit a home run with costplusdrugs
