Billionaire 'Shark Tank' star Mark Cuban says he was once too broke to even open a bank account via CNBCMakeIt
While Mark Cuban now has a net worth of $4.1 billion, he was once so strapped he didn't even have enough money to get a bank account.
"When I was broke and sleeping on the couch, I couldn't open up a bank account. You needed to have 200 bucks. You needed this, you needed that. They didn't give me one," said Cuban . "People thought I might go work at a mill. My mom wanted me to learn how to lay carpet because she was concerned about my future," Cuban said in a previous episode of"Shark Tank."
He also tried other gigs:"I had quit or been fired from three straight jobs," said Cuban on a previous episode of"Shark Tank.""When I got one of my first jobs out of school using technology, it was like, wait, I love this. I've taught myself the program, I could go seven hours, eight hours without taking a break thinking it was 10 minutes because I was concentrating so hard and so excited and really loved it.
