I thought he sold a company prior to Broadcast for millions.

Like I said - I probably don't give him enough credit.

There's not giving enough credit, and then just wrong statements.

Acorn

So he had 2M going into his deal that netted him $300M plus.

LOL. $2 million, net of taxes is a whole lot more than zero.

I don't care in the slightest about his politics. Has nothing to do...

His recent comments on X have outed him as wholly naive and foolish on a lot.

I'm pretty much the same. His posts on X about supporting DEI, student loan

I thought at one point I had read that he was was a workaholic maniac.

I'd heard/read the same - that he was a workaholic. Lots of work, combined with

I would say "most" rich people aren't super geniuses, they are just regular

Agreed. It’s a reason why celeb endorsements make me roll my eyes - they’re

From the OP. "It's probably just jealousy." Nailed it.

I think the key phrase is “make a fortune” vs “have a fortune”.

But we are talking about someone who made their own fortune, inheriting it

Acorn

Apr 19, 10:12am

True.. I guess I don’t buy into the fact that someone like Ryan Smith risked

I am not familiar with the risks nor the sacrifices that Ryan Smith

And his sacrifice. Which is what most (I’d argue correctly) aren’t willing to do

I would say a lot of "rich" people are for the most part just like everyone else

Most rich people take pretty big risks. Others take lots of risk and miss.

Yep people just get disillusioned with them when they realize they aren't

To me it’s the career path they choose. Did Ryan Smith take a huge risk

cougfanz

Apr 19, 10:14am

I wouldn't have dropped out of college. Wasn't in my risk profile.

To clarify I don’t think his success is all luck. He’s obviously successful

Your statement and others’ statements about Ryan Smith on here are laughable.

Mark has become insufferable, he has bought into woke ideology and DEI

He’s a pretty dumb guy

Part of being good in the business world is having a feel for when it’s time to cash out. I applaud Cuban for having
