Shark Tank star Mark Cuban reveals the lucrative side his teenage self told him to start

Shark Tank star Mark Cuban has revealed the lucrative business he would start if he could go back to his youth.

During an interview with CNBC Make It, the 66-year-old entrepreneur shared his thoughts on the skills he thinks everyone needs to perform well at any job, and that includes “passion” and “agility.”

Speaking specifically about artificial intelligence, Cuban, who recently responded to Donald Trump, said he doesn't know where AI is going, but he's determined to “pay attention to it.”

Revealing what she would have done differently when she was younger if she could, the TV star explained: “So if I was a 16-year-old girl and I had to start a side hustle to make some money, there are two things.” I will

'First, I'll be in big language models like ChatGTP and Gemini and Meta and the like, and I'll learn to listen and I'll go to my friends and teach them how to listen.

And then I'll move on to enterprises, because enterprises (especially small and medium-sized ones) still don't understand AI. And it doesn't matter if I'm 16 years old, I'll teach them too,” Cuban added.

The father of three, who has a net worth of $5.7 billion according to Forbes, is the former principal owner and current minority owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, and co-owner of 2929 Entertainment.

Cuban is one of the main 'sharks' on the ABC reality series Shark Tank. He confirmed his departure from the show after season 16.

Appearing on the All the Smoke podcast in November 2023, he revealed that he “only has one year left” with the show: “This is our fifteenth year, next year, our sixteenth year.” Let it be my last year.'

Cuban later revealed why he stayed on Shark Tank for a decade and said he especially liked the concept of the show.

“I love it because it sends the message that the American dream is alive and well,” he explained.

Most recently, Cuban appeared on the Club Shay Shay podcast and discussed his relationship with his wife, Tiffany Stewart, whom he married in 2002.

He revealed some of the strange ordeals he put his wife through, having been a multimillionaire for about three years before they got married, wanting to see if Stewart was down to earth and dating her for the right reasons.

'I made her go to the White Castle. That's the test before marriage!' he told host Shannon Sharp.

I said, “Let's go to White Castle, and if you really love me, you'll have a White Castle burger!” She did it.

White Castle is an American fast food chain best known for inventing the slider, a small, flat burger.

Early in the interview, Cuban made the shocking confession when Sharp asked him how he knew if Stewart “really loved him.”

“You got married after you had some work, some important work,” Sharpe said.

How could you say “She loves me for being Mark”? Or did you ever really know? He asked.

Cuba responded: 'Of course you know. She'll let you bash her in the dutch oven! They both laughed at the awkward expression.

A 'Dutch oven' is a slang term that refers to passing gas into a bed and then covering someone's head with the blankets to trap them.
