Billionaire investor Mark Cuban vividly remembers the moment he finally felt successful — because he spent so many years beforehand trying to stave off being flat broke.
The turning point "was probably when I had $100,000 in the bank," Cuban, now 65, said.
And telling my dad who just broke down in tears and started sobbing."
The effort paid off when Cuban sold MicroSolutions for $6 million in 1990 to CompuServe, a now-defunct internet services company.
"There's a huge difference between being a millionaire and a billionaire," Cuban told GQ.
