Back to Mark Cuban: The Next Market Crash Is Where The Real Money Is Made!, with Mark Cuban.

What Matters Most to Mark Cuban?

Mark Cuban says his kids and his wife supersede everything else. Nothing is more important to him, and they have changed him for the better in a million ways he cannot even describe. One part of his mind stays on business and on competing. The better part of him is his kids and his wife.

He married in 2002, when he was 44, and he has three kids. Steven Bartlett asked whether family and business could have happened at the same time. Mark Cuban says he would not have done both as well as he did the business. When he had Micro Solutions he was on a mission and did not put family in front of business. He regrets that he did not do as many of the little events with his kids as he probably should have. He would tell himself they were too young to remember, then go do what the business needed. In hindsight, Mark Cuban says he probably would have done more of the little events.

His kids remind him of certain things, and he says the regret is also his own, just in hindsight. Getting to that point is a big part of why he left Shark Tank.
