☆ Mark Cuban turned 91% of his employees into millionaires when he sold a company for $5.7 billion
  + stars: | 2024-06-07 | by ( Alex Koller | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Cuban started the practice after selling his first company, a software firm called MicroSolutions, for $6 million to CompuServe in 1990. He took 20% of the total sale price, he tells CNBC Make It, and paid it out to 80 employees — which would equate to $15,000 per staffer, if distributed equally. "It was f---ed up," Cuban told Barstool Sports' "Pardon My Take" podcast in 2020. The business bounced back, and Cuban sold MicroSolutions five years later, making him a millionaire. "It was all about fun," Cuban told "The Draymond Green Show" podcast, in an April episode.

☆ 25-year-old tried 23 side hustles before launching a company that brings in $354,000 a month—his No. 1 piece of advice
  + stars: | 2023-08-28 | by ( Megan Sauer | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The platform, which Schwartz describes as "Etsy for software products," currently brings in roughly $354,000 per month, according to a CNBC Make It estimate. "You want to really orient yourself around a real problem that needs to be solved," Schwartz, 25, tells Make It. During high school, he and Zoub built sneaker bots, or pieces of software that nabbed limited-edition shoes faster than people who manually clicked "buy now." The company clearly solved a problem, but the co-founders didn't find the work creatively fulfilling. It solved a safety problem: Zoub patrolled online forums where people sold software, and found them rife with scammers and rip-off artists.
