Mark Cuban is a billionaire entrepreneur. He is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, an NBA franchise, and Chairman of HDNet, an HDTV cable network. Cuban previously started MicroSolutions, a system integrator and software reseller, which he sold in July 1990 to Compuserve. His next venture was the 1995 Audionet (renamed Broadcast.com in 1998), which was conceived to broadcast live games and events on the Internet. By 1999, Broadcast.com had grown to 330 employees and annual revenues close to $100 million. After it was acquired by Yahoo, Cuban diversified his wealth to avoid exposure to a market crash, and as of 2006, is #428 on Forbes’ “World’s Richest People” list, with a net worth of $1.8 billion.
Cuban continues to work with former Broadcast.com partner Todd Wagner in another venture, 2929 Entertainment, which provides vertically integrated production and distribution of films and video. On September 24, 2003, the firm purchased Landmark Theatres, a chain of 58 arthouse movie theaters. The company is also responsible for the updated version of the TV show Star Search, which was broadcast on CBS.
