Early Life & Education

Mark Cuban was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His father, Norton Cuban, was a car upholstery business. Cuban described his mother Shirley as “a different job or a different career goal every two weeks.”

Instead of attending high school in his final year, he enrolled as a full-time student at the University of Pittsburgh, where he joined the Pi Lambda Phi International sibling. He is a “loved” fan of the Pittsburgh NFL Pittsburgh Steelers. After one year at the University of Pittsburgh, he transferred to Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, and graduated from the Kelly School of Business in 1981 with a Bachelor of Science in Management.

He chose Keele College of Business in Indiana without even visiting campus because “the lowest-cost tuition fees for all business schools are on the top ten list.” During college, he had several business ventures, including a bar, disco lessons, and chain letter. After graduation, he returned to his hometown of Pennsylvania and worked at Mellon Bank, plunging into the study of machines and networks.

Career

On July 7, 1982, Cuban moved to Dallas, Texas, where he first found work as a waiter at a Greenville Avenue bar called Elan and then as a sales representative for Your Business Software, one of the oldest PC software retailers in Dallas. He was fired less than a year later, after meeting a customer to buy a new business rather than open the store.

Cuban created his own company, MicroSolutions, with support from his former clients of The Your Business Software program. MicroSolutions was initially a systems integrator and software vendor. The company was an early proponent of technologies such as Carbon Copy, Lotus Notes, and CompuServe. Perot Systems has been one of the company’s biggest customers. The company grew to more than $ 30 million in revenue, and in 1990, Cuban sold MicroSolutions to CompuServe – then a subsidiary of H&R Block – for $ 6 million. It made nearly $ 2 million after taxes on the deal.

In 1995, he started Audionet and Broadcast.com and made few investments in startups. Cuban has been a “shark” investor on the ABC reality program Shark Tank since season two in 2011. Cuban also owns film distributor Magnolia Pictures. On January 4, 2000, Cuban purchased a majority stake in the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks for $285 million from H. Ross Perot, Jr.
