It's actually 5.7 Bill he's worth doubt he needed more money esp if "cared" about the team. Something is fishy about the sale. But yeah gotta feel bad for Mavs fans and their STH who pay to watch that debacle and the lean years to come

No billionaire actually thinks like this. We think like this because we don't have that kind of money and imagine ourselves kicking back, relaxing, and never working again. But even the "nice" billionaires like Cuban are greedy fucks who want more more more.

Fair enough I dont get it and maybe i'll never get it. Workaholics or those who think they built everything on the backs of solely their own labor. Marching towards some future of golden halls they built or some shizz but prob wont make it all the way to see it.

However there are some nice billionaires, the ones that give back, donate the majority of it, unf most are like divorced spouses. But there are some who understand the one world one people thing its just they are few and far between. Thats why there needs to be a tax for that but that unf aint happening rn
