Valencia Higuera Sat, June 19, 2021
You might have heard this billionaire's name, but who is Mark Cuban and how did he make his money? It's possible you know him as one of the sharks on the hit show “Shark Tank," but Cuban is more than just a TV personality -- he’s also the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and a successful investor. In fact, Mark Cuban's companies are so successful that he made his first million in 1990 after selling his business to CompuServe and then earned a $5.9 billion paycheck after he sold his online streaming audio service to Yahoo in 1999.
Cuban knows how to be rich and successful, and he isn’t afraid to share his insight. Check out Mark Cuban's advice, so you can learn how to budget money and think like a billionaire.
1. Be a Little Bit of a Risk Taker
Talk to any self-made millionaires or billionaires and they might preach the importance of taking calculated risks. Sometimes, risks and rewards go hand-in-hand, as Cuban pointed out in a 2017 interview with Money magazine while discussing the value of investing your savings. He explained that it's possible to save a million dollars, but only if you’re disciplined and take risks. Many who achieve higher levels of financial success aren’t afraid to invest for the betterment of their future -- whether they’re investing in the market, a business or their education.
2. But Only Invest Up To 10% in Risky Investments
If you do take risks in the investment realm, limit the amount you contribute.
"If you’re a true adventurer and you really want to throw the Hail Mary, you might take 10% and put it in bitcoin or Ethereum, but if you do that, you’ve got to pretend you’ve already lost your money," Cuban told Vanity Fair. "It’s like collecting art, it’s like collecting baseball cards, it’s like collecting shoes -- something’s worth what somebody else would pay for it. I’d limit (risky investments) to 10%."

3. Put It in the Bank
In an exclusive interview with Young Money, a personal finance education and media company, Cuban offered this general investing advice and then followed the statement by saying, “The idiots that tell you to put your money in the market because eventually it will go up need to tell you that because they are trying to sell you something. The stock market is probably the worst investment vehicle out there.”

Trade Fragmentation: The Downstream Consequence of Systemic Stress
How fractured commerce and payment systems reveal deeper global economic realignments
Overview
Global trade networks are increasingly splitting into regional and strategic blocs as geopolitical tensions, sanctions regimes, and financial fragmentation intensify.
Trade fragmentation is not the initial trigger of systemic crisis — it is a downstream consequence of deeper monetary and financial stress.
As payment system access becomes weaponized and currency volatility rises, nations are realigning trade corridors based on trust, interoperability, and financial access rather than comparative advantage.

Most Millionaires Don't Consider Themselves Wealthy. So What Does It Really Mean To Be Rich?
Ivana Pino Ivana Pino · Senior Writer Updated December 18, 2025 Yahoo Personal Finance
A new Schwab survey finds that only a third of America’s millionaires feel wealthy. By most traditional measures, having a net worth of $1 million should put someone firmly in the “wealthy” category. Yet a growing number of millionaires don’t see it that way. Just one third (36%) of the nation’s wealthiest citizens — those with at least $1 million in investable assets — consider themselves wealthy, according to Northwestern Mutual’s 2025 Planning and Progress study.
Further, nearly half (49%) of American millionaires say their financial planning needs improvement, citing the possibility of outliving their savings, the impact of taxes in retirement, and potential long-term care needs as their top financial concerns.
Even Millionaires Don't Feel Wealthy These Days
Daniel de Visé, USA TODAY December 3, 2025
A million dollars is not what it used to be.
Only 36% of American millionaires consider themselves wealthy in 2025, according to new research from Northwestern Mutual. The finding comes from the 2025 Planning & Progress Study, updated in early November. It draws on a Harris Poll survey of 4,626 Americans, including 969 people with household investable assets greater than $1 million.
Even the wealthiest Americans worry about money, the study found. They fret about having enough of it, deciding how to spend it and whether to pass it on to heirs. If $1 million isn’t enough, then how much money does it take to feel wealthy?

Tishwash: Hassan Ali Al-Daghari: Expanding banking services is the focus of the next phase.
Financial expert Hassan Ali Al-Daghari stressed that expanding banking services is an urgent need for the Iraqi economy at the present stage, in light of growing commercial activity and increasing demands of the local market.
Al-Daghari said that Iraqi banks have begun to take clear steps towards developing their financial tools and expanding the scope of their services in line with the ongoing economic transformations.
Al-Daghari explained that expanding modern banking services, such as electronic payment, facilitating account opening procedures, and expanding the branch network, contributes to enhancing citizens' confidence in the banking sector and encourages official transactions instead of relying on cash.
