A family friend sold Cuban boxes of new, unused trash bags for $3 each.
Cuban would then resell them door-to-door in his neighborhood for $6.
He developed a short but sweet sales pitch 14 seconds for his potential customers.
Do you use garbage bags?
Are you kidding me?
he said on the The Jim Rome Podcast.
Id take that job now.
In 1989, Cuban co-founded MicroSolutions, a computer consulting firm.
This marked his first significant financial win and the advent of his millionaire status.
Within a decade of making his first million, Cuban became a billionaire.
It was a smart investment fueled by his passion for basketball and profitable business ventures.
It worked, and the Landmark Theatres chain was eventually sold to Cohen Media Group in 2018.
Cubans interest in independent cinema didnt stop with Landmark Theatres.

239 spot on Inc.s list of the 500 fastest-growing American companies just a year later.
The company markets various nut butter spreads.
Im always looking for foods that solve my sweet tooth and are healthy, Cuban told Yahoo Finance.

This company fit that bill perfectly.
The company has since seen its annual revenue grow to more than $6 million a year.
The investment paid off: Now theyre worth over $200 million.

Theyll do, hopefully, $100 million in sales this year.
And theyre just killing it.
But at the last second, Mark Cuban came and saved the day.

Late last year, the company nearly doubled the number of medications it makes available directly to patients.
It added 1,000 new medicines to its list, bringing the total to 2,200 drugs.
Conventional pharmacies are also much less transparent, basing the pricing of the drugs they offer on non-disclosed information.
