According to Shark Tank Insights, Mark Cuban has invested approximately $61.9 million across 204 deals on the show.
Sure, not every deal has been a home run, but Cuban insists the overall market value of his portfolio keeps climbing, proving that patience and strategy go a long way.
But even billionaires take hits. In 2022, Cuban didn't sugarcoat his struggles when he appeared on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_8wm30tLyc">Full Send Podcast.</a> &#8220;Oh no, I&#8217;ve gotten beat,&#8221; he confessed, discussing his portfolio's net losses.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>With 100+ historic trademark victories, this company holds IP for some of the highest-grossing characters in history. Now, they've propelled these icons into the future using next-gen patented AR, VR, and AI technology. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-1">There&#8217;s now a limited window for investors to claim shares at just $2/share with $980 minimum—but the clock is ticking.</a></li>
</ul>
One deal that went south in a big way? Breathometer, a smartphone Breathalyzer app. Cuban thought the product was solid, but the founder's financial mismanagement sank the ship. "Next thing you know, all the money is gone," he said during the interview, recalling how the founder's social media posts of extravagant vacations were a big red flag.
Still, Cuban's had plenty of reasons to celebrate. BeatBox Beverages, a fun, party-ready wine brand, turned his $1 million investment for a one-third stake into a massive win. Forbes reports that the company now pulls in about $200 million a year.&nbsp;
Another big success is Dude Wipes, a personal hygiene brand. Cuban put down $300,000 for 25% equity and today, the company's worth has ballooned to over $300 million.

When it comes to measuring success, Cuban takes the long view. "On a mark-to-market basis, I'm killing it," <a href="https://fortune.com/videos/watch/from-%24160k-to-%2419k%3A-mark-cuban%E2%80%99s-cost-plus-drugs-saves-millions-for-employers/993d5cea-ad21-45fe-95bc-320355fc6194">he told Fortune</a>, explaining how he evaluates his portfolio based on current market values.&nbsp;
Some of his gutsiest investments, like a $2 million deal for a 20% stake in Ten Thirty-One Productions – a live horror attraction company – have proved to be showstoppers. Mush, a ready-to-eat oats company and Gameday Couture, a trendy sports apparel brand, have also thrived under Cuban's guidance.&nbsp;
As of December 2024, Mush&#8217;s valuation is estimated at approximately $10.9 million, reflecting an annual growth rate of about 10% since its appearance on &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; in 2017. In 2014, Gameday Couture appeared on &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; where Mark Cuban invested $500,000 for a 30% stake, valuing the company at approximately $1.6 million at that time.
For Cuban, it's never just about the numbers. "It's not about money or connections – it's the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone," he said.&nbsp;

He looks for founders with tenacity and vision, knowing that not all rewards come immediately. While he has had his fair share of flops, his ability to spot raw potential keeps him ahead of the curve.
Outside of Cuban's portfolio, the startup world is buzzing. According to Crunchbase News, global venture funding hit $66.5 billion in Q3 2024, down 16% from the previous quarter. But one sector is booming: AI.&nbsp;
According to Reuters, these companies scooped up 46.4% of U.S. venture funding this year, a massive jump from less than 10% a decade ago. As reported by WSJ, Anthropic, a hot <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42724565/dont-count-your-chickens-this-5-billion-food-startup-counts-them-daily-while-pushing-ai-to-predict-your-meals">AI startup</a>, raised $2 billion at a jaw-dropping $60 billion valuation, showing just how much money is pouring into the space.
While the number of venture capital firms in the U.S. has shrunk by 25% since 2021, Cuban's $5.7 billion net worth, per Forbes, proves his strategy is working.

$100 Invested In Canadian Natural Res 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

President-elect Donald Trump will likely waste no time reshaping U.S. policy once he officially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">re-enters the White House</a>.
Within minutes of his swearing-in ceremony, the incoming administration is set to roll out a barrage of executive actions targeting energy, immigration, inflation, social policies and trade.
While his long-promised tariffs are expected to remain on hold — for now — Trump is reportedly expected to sign anywhere from 10 to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/20/us/trump-executive-orders">100 </a>executive orders in his first 24 hours, marking a dramatic start to his second term.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Emergency, Oil Declines</h3>
Trump is moving swiftly to boost U.S. fossil fuel production, with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/20/us/trump-executive-orders?">The New York Times</a> reporting that he will declare a national energy emergency, even though President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.eenews.net/articles/what-bidens-oil-record-means-for-the-industrys-future/">presided</a> over a record boom <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/10/35240230/us-is-producing-more-oil-under-biden-than-at-any-point-under-the-trump-administration">in domestic oil production</a>. 
Analysts expect only marginal increases in oil production under Trump, despite the president-elect&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/11/42164230/amid-trumps-drill-baby-drill-pledge-strategist-predicts-us-oil-supply-will-see-marginal-increase-does-the-world-need-that-much-oil">&#8220;drill baby drill&#8221; stance</a>. 
Trump is expected to significantly roll back environmental regulations and focus on Alaska's vast oil and gas reserves, a resource the administration sees as critical to reducing energy costs.
The order will focus on Alaska's vast natural resources and is expected to eliminate restrictions on domestic drilling, with the administration arguing that increased production will help lower gasoline and utility costs. 
The same order will end the electric vehicle mandate and lift regulations on consumer appliances such as dishwashers and stoves.
Market reaction has been immediate—crude oil futures, tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), fell 1.6% by 10:30 a.m. ET, as traders digested the implications of higher U.S. output.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">All-Hands Inflation Strategy</h3>
The Trump administration will also launch a government-wide initiative to combat inflation, though specific details remain scarce. 
A White House official told Reuters that the effort will include "decisive actions" to lower costs for American consumers, potentially tied to energy production and supply chain deregulation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Immigration Crackdown, Border Emergency, Diversity Programs Scrapped</h3>
Trump is also taking an aggressive stance on immigration and other social policies. 
According to Reuters, the president-elect is set to declare illegal immigration a national emergency, paving the way for a series of executive actions. An incoming administration official told the outlet that Trump will block all asylum claims at the U.S.-Mexico border, deploy additional troops, and accelerate border wall construction.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, also confirmed that Trump will designate criminal cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. It&#8217;s a move that could escalate tensions with Mexico, considering 
Perhaps the most legally contentious order will be Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship. 
Reuters also reported that the administration will move forward with an executive action that seeks to deny U.S. citizenship to children born on American soil to undocumented parents. The measure is expected to face immediate constitutional challenges, as the 14th Amendment explicitly guarantees birthright citizenship.
&#8220;The federal government will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States. We are also going to enhance vetting and screening of illegal aliens,&#8221; the official said to Reuters.
The president will also sign an executive order eliminating all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, reversing initiatives that expanded under the Biden administration. 
The move extends to hiring practices, government contracts, and workplace training, marking a significant rollback of affirmative action efforts within federal agencies.
Trump is also expected to issue a proclamation declaring that, under federal law, there are only two biological sexes—male and female.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs On Hold, For Now</h3>
Despite fiery campaign rhetoric on trade, Trump will not impose new tariffs on his first day in office, a temporary relief for markets that had been bracing for sweeping levies. 
Instead, he is expected to sign a memorandum directing federal agencies to review U.S. trade policies, particularly in relation to China, Mexico, and Canada, according to an exclusive <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-to-lay-out-trade-visionbut-wont-impose-new-tariffs-yet-b9c8378d">Wall Street Journal</a> report. 
The outlet confirmed that Trump's team has prepared a broad directive on trade policy but has opted to delay immediate tariff action. 
Market odds on Trump announcing tariffs before Thursday have dropped to as low as 16%, according to CFTC-regulated prediction platform Kalshi, the lowest level since betting began in December.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Crypto Executive Order On Day 1? More Likely Than Not</h3>
While tariffs are on the back burner, speculation is growing over whether Trump will move on cryptocurrency regulation today. 
Betting markets on Kalshi now price in a 56% chance that a crypto-related executive order will be issued within the first 24 hours. 
With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) trading above $105,000, investors are closely watching whether Trump will push forward with a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, a concept he floated on the campaign trail. 
The move would signal a pro-crypto shift in U.S. policy, potentially impacting regulatory frameworks for digital assets.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

The Meta CEO recently appeared in a Facebook video wearing the ultraexclusive Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1, a luxury timepiece that costs over $900,000.
But this watch isn't just another status symbol. With only two or three models crafted entirely by hand each year, it represents the pinnacle of traditional watchmaking. According to Greubel Forsey's website, the Hand Made 1 comprises 281 meticulously crafted components, most made in-house.&nbsp;
In a report by the New York Post, Michel Nydegger, CEO of Greubel Forsey, stated to Bloomberg, &#8220;It&#8217;s a pleasure to see someone who has played such a pivotal role in shaping the modern digital landscape and lifestyle show true appreciation for the most traditional approach to fine watchmaking today.&#8221;&nbsp;

<li>With 100+ historic trademark victories, this company holds IP for some of the highest-grossing characters in history.

</ul>
Zuckerberg's love for high-end watches isn't new. In September, during an <a href="https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/the-mark-zuckerberg-interview">interview </a>with the business podcast Acquired, he wore the $90,000 rose gold De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius. Before that, he flaunted a $141,400 Patek Philippe Grand Complications In-Line Perpetual Calendar in a selfie with his wife, Priscilla Chan.
The fascination doesn't stop there. At Anant Ambani's pre-wedding bash in March, Zuckerberg expressed his admiration for Ambani's Richard Mille watch, telling him in a video circulated on social media, "I never really wanted to get a watch. But after seeing that, I was like, watches are cool."
This pivot to luxury signals a new chapter for Zuckerberg, who once epitomized Silicon Valley's casual uniform of hoodies and gray T-shirts.&nbsp;
Image consultant Joseph Rosenfeld told Business Insider that the shift toward "premium watches and subtle luxury" reflects his evolving identity as a tech mogul. "He's stepping into a role where his appearance matches his stature as an innovator," Rosenfeld said.

But Zuckerberg's evolution isn't limited to aesthetics. Meta recently announced a significant shake-up in its content moderation strategy. The company plans to replace its current fact-checking partners with a crowdsourced moderation tool inspired by X's (formerly Twitter) Community Notes.
"We've seen this approach work on X," wrote Joel Kaplan, Meta's chief global affairs officer, in a blog post. It allows users to add context to potentially misleading posts, fostering a more diverse and unbiased moderation system.&nbsp;
Kaplan added, "This could be a better way of achieving our original intention of providing people with information about what they're seeing."
While this move has sparked debate, it's part of a larger industry shift. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42496518/tiktok-ban-signed-into-law-what-it-means-for-americas-15-billion-small-business-economy">Social media</a> platforms are increasingly leaning toward decentralized moderation methods. A 2023 global survey by the Reuters Institute found that 56% of participants worry about distinguishing between real and fake news online, a concern Zuckerberg's new strategy aims to address.

Joe Biden, in perhaps his last act as U.S. president, issued preemptive pardons to key figures, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43080974/how-and-where-to-watch-donald-trumps-inauguration-ceremony-live">President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s inauguration</a>. 
What Happened: According to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-preemptively-pardons-anthony-fauci-mark-milley-jan/story?id=117878813">ABC News</a>, Biden defended the move, citing the importance of protecting public servants from threats and intimidation for performing their duties. 
Biden also pardoned members of the House Jan. 6 Committee, including former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), for perceived grievances.
Milley expressed gratitude, highlighting his decades of military service.
&#8220;After forty-three years of faithful service in uniform to our Nation, protecting and defending the Constitution, I do not wish to spend whatever remaining time the Lord grants me fighting those who unjustly might seek retribution for perceived slights," General Milley said in a statement per the New York Times. "I do not want to put my family, my friends, and those with whom I served through the resulting distraction, expense, and anxiety."
Fauci was similarly appreciative, and welcomed Biden's action as a protective measure against baseless allegations and threats that were made against him from Trump&#8217;s supporters.
"There is absolutely no basis for these threats," Fauci said in his own statement. "Let me be perfectly clear: I have committed no crime and there are no possible grounds for any allegation or threat of criminal investigation or prosecution of me.&#8221;
Biden also pardoned police officers who testified before the Jan. 6 committee <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38356833/liz-cheney-says-trump-doing-everything-possible-to-postpone-jan-6-case-beyond-election-deep-flaws-in">that Cheney led</a>.
Why It Matters: Trump, on the campaign trail leading up to the 2024 election, <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2023/03/25/donald-trump-waco-rally-retribution-justice/">promised</a> &#8220;retribution&#8221; at various campaign rallies against those who wronged him.
Milley notably called Trump a fascist and blasted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41869240/mary-trump-warns-of-tyranny-and-fascism-following-uncles-victory">the president-elect&#8217;s conduct</a>. 
Now, as president-elect, Trump selected Cabinet nominees who backed his election lies, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-cabinet-hegseth-patel-bondi-gabbard-kennedy-0f6856a163b1e8eab517e80df28580a8">Associated Press</a> reported. 
"The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense," Biden said in a statement. "Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country."
Biden also pardoned various family members, including his brother, James Biden, to save them from possible retribution under the incoming Trump administration. 
Trump allies subpoenaed James Biden, 75, along with first son Hunter Biden, 54, in 2023 to investigate their involvement in the family's domestic and foreign business dealings. Hunter was pardon in December from gun and tax evasion charges. 
James Biden has not been charged with committing any federal crimes.
What&#8217;s Next: Trump is expected to make sweeping pardons in his own right, namely those related to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19049660/washington-dc-descends-into-anarchy-as-trump-supporters-storm-us-capitol-delay-electoral-college-vot">riots at the capitol</a> on Jan. 6, 2021.
