Cuban would go on to make much more: MicroSolutions, the first company he started, grew to over $30 million in revenue and was sold to CompuServe for $6 million in 1990, making Cuban a millionaire at 32. A few years later, he co-founded a company called Audionet, which became Broadcast.com.
Cuban's first step into business occurred at age 12, when he sold garbage bags to pay for a pair of expensive basketball shoes. Some years later, he earned money by selling stamps and coins. At age 16, Cuban took advantage of a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette strike by running newspapers from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.
He paid $100,000 for 30 percent of a company that made $12 million in sales last year. If you've ever watched Shark Tank, you know Mark Cuban has some very strong opinions.
