Even sharks make mistakes. Mark Cuban, American businessman and former investor and shark on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” admitted that he made some expensive financial mistakes when he bought the majority ownership in the Dallas Mavericks, a professional basketball team.
Cuban, who sold a large share of his ownership of the team in 2023, reflected on those mistakes in an interview with Sports Illustrated. While his mistakes center around the purchase of a sports team, something your average person will never experience, those mistakes contain important lessons that the middle-class can learn from.
