This makes him the 765th richest person in the world.
Ranked the 607th richest person on the planet — as of Aug. 11, 2025 — Mark Cuban has a net worth of \$6 billion, per [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/profile/mark-cuban/). In terms of billionaires, this might not sound like much, until you do the math.

Keep reading to learn how Cuban and Trump [achieved billionaire status](https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/wealth/mark-cuban-shares-ways-he-became-a-billionaire-heres-what-you-can-learn-from-him/?hyperlink_type=manual&utm_term=incontent_link_2&utm_campaign=1314667&utm_source=nasdaq.com&utm_content=4&utm_medium=rss).
## Mark Cuban’s Wealth Story
In 1990, Cuban sold his software startup MicroSolutions to the since-shuttered CompuServe — an internet services company — for \$6 billion, according to [CNBC Make It](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/21/mark-cuban-gave-this-microsolutions-sales-pitch-in-1989-why-it-worked.html). Later that decade, he sold the internet streaming service Broadcast.com to Yahoo for \$5.9 billion.
After the sale, he bought the Dallas Mavericks for \$285 million in 2000, according to [NBC Dallas-Fort Worth](https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/nba-unanimously-approves-mark-cubans-sale-of-dallas-mavericks/3420242/). In 2023, he sold his majority stake in the NBA team for \$3.8 billion to \$3.9 billion.
In 2022, he co-founded the online pharmacy [Cost Plus Drug Company](https://www.gobankingrates.com/saving-money/health/how-much-you-can-save-on-prescriptions-using-mark-cubans-cost-plus-drugs/?hyperlink_type=manual&utm_term=incontent_link_3&utm_campaign=1314667&utm_source=nasdaq.com&utm_content=5&utm_medium=rss) to help lower prescription drug costs, [NPR](https://www.npr.org/2022/01/24/1075344246/mark-cuban-pharmacy) reported.

## Donald Trump’s Wealth Story
[Before becoming president](https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/wealth/money-moves-trump-made-using-generational-wealth-that-you-can-too/?hyperlink_type=manual&utm_term=incontent_link_4&utm_campaign=1314667&utm_source=nasdaq.com&utm_content=7&utm_medium=rss), Trump was a second-generation real estate tycoon. He joined his father’s real estate business in 1968, after earning his undergraduate degree, per the [Miller Center](https://millercenter.org/president/trump/life-presidency).
He’s inherited the equivalent of \$413 million from his father’s real estate ventures, [The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-tax-schemes-fred-trump.html) reported. Today, the Trump Organization owns a [wide-variety of real estate](https://www.gobankingrates.com/investing/real-estate/donald-trumps-boldest-real-estate-investments/?hyperlink_type=manual&utm_term=incontent_link_5&utm_campaign=1314667&utm_source=nasdaq.com&utm_content=8&utm_medium=rss), including hotels, golf courses and residential and commercial buildings, according to the company’s [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-trump-organization/about/) page.
Previously in the beauty pageant business, Trump became the owner of the Miss Universe Organization in 1996, according to the [New York Post](https://nypost.com/2015/10/10/donald-trumps-sale-of-miss-universe-actually-fell-short/). In 2003, he sold a stake in the company to NBCUniversal, and sold the rest of the company to WME/IMG for \$28 million in 2015.
Trump hosted reality show “The Apprentice” from 2004 to 2017. He earned a total of \$427 million due to his involvement in the show, including a \$197 million salary from the show itself and \$230 million in licensing deals, per [NYT](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/28/us/donald-trump-taxes-apprentice.html).
Also an author, he has written more than 14 books, according to the [Donald J. Trump Presidential Library](https://www.trumplibrary.gov/trumps/president-donald-j-trump). This includes his first book — and likely most well-known — “The Art of the Deal,” published in 1987.
