“Shark Tank” investor and technology entrepreneur mark Cuban is the first to admit that reaching billionaire status has a lot to do with a fortunate twist of fate. “Being a billionaire requires a lot of luck, a lot of great timing,” Cuban says during an interview on “The Jamie Weinstein Show” podcast.
But that’s not all it takes.
Cuban has also noticed three traits in billionaires that he’s seen contribute to financial success, according to the podcast. And all three are habits anyone can adopt. Here’s what Cuban’s noted billionaires have in common.
1. They are constant learners
His number one answer? “The desire to always learn.”
“Just continuously learning, because particularly in the tech industry, the only constant is change,” Cuban explains. “So you’ve got to stay up, because otherwise, there is some 12- or 18-year-old kid that is coming in with a better idea to kick your a–.”
On his blog, Cuban writes that he spends “more than three hours almost every day” reading in order to keep an advantage in his field. And, it was something he did to jump start his early career.
2. They are skilled at sales
Up next, Cuban says billionaires are usually top notch at “knowing how to sell.” To him, no matter what you’re selling, it is crucial to know how to convince people of something’s worth.
“Almost every super wealthy person that has built their own wealth as opposed to inheriting it, they all have the ability to sell their vision, their product, their service,” he says.
If Cuban lost all of his wealth tomorrow, he says he would turn to his talent in sales to rebuild it.
3. They put in the effort
“I tell people all the time, the one thing in life you can control is your effort,” Cuban says. He looks to “Bill Gates back in the day, or Steve Ballmer or Michael Dell,” as examples of success from effort.
He says particularly Michael Dell, the self-made multi-billionaire, founder of Dell Computers and Cuban’s friend, embodies the idea. “He’s driven, he’s focused, he puts in the effort,” Cuban says of Dell. “He doesn’t just assume it is going to happen.”
Fellow billionaire Richard Branson agrees. For him, two of the top rules for success are: “Don’t give up,” and “Keep setting yourself new challenges.”

  1. A world of a world. Their money is great and grows. The productivity is half in the bank and the other trust to be whole is their mind.

    Still, without the best half, guess which one… you need the best skills.

    Judaism teaches us a whole. We all wonder if the other half is coming or just the wonder of our years. Wife might be smart.

  2. The chachamim taught “one who increases possessions, increases worry” “who is wealthy, one who is happy with his lot” this advise is to enjoy olam hazeh. Certainly a billionaire has no intrinsic merit to olam habah; that needs mitzvot and limud Torah.
    Besides, what’s 120 years of indulgence compared to an empty portion for INFINITY. We need to focus on amassing the wealth of yirat shamayim and Talmud Torah.
