Those circumstances may seem pretty bleak, but they're exactly what drove Cuban to put his all into entrepreneurship. Cuban, who has an estimated net worth of $6.5 billion, referenced his "Shark Tank" co-star Daymond John's phrase "the power of broke," saying it's "one of the defining elements" of any successful business owner. Most people consult with friends and explore their idea on Google, but ultimately never follow through, Cuban said. Disclosure: CNBC owns the exclusive off-network cable rights to "Shark Tank."
