Billionaire. One of the stars of Shark Tank. Owner of the Dallas Mavericks.

Yeah, that's probably enough an intro for Mark Cuban.

While Mark is, of course, a famous and super rich guy at this point, it wasn't always like that for him... at all.  In reality, he has a "rags to riches" story that is really inspirational.

And what's great is that he lays out his journey for all to read on his personal blog, Blog Maverick.

If you’ve never been on his blog, you're in for a treat... there's just so much good stuff in there. He covers various topics, such as technology, sports, politics, investing, and, entrepreneurship.
