Shark Tank star Mark Cuban reveals lucrative side hustle he'd tell his teenage self to start

As a seasoned observer of business trends and a keen student of success stories, I find myself deeply inspired by Mark Cuban’s insightful reflections on his career journey. His wisdom, especially his focus on being ‘curious’ and ‘agile,’ resonates strongly with me as I too value these qualities in my own pursuit of knowledge and growth.


Mark Cuban, famous for his role on Shark Tank, shared what profitable part-time job he’d begin if given the chance to start it as a teenager.

During an interview with CNBC Make It, the 66-year-old businessman shared his thoughts on the skills that he thinks everybody needs to perform well in any job, and it includes being ‘curious’ and ‘agile.’

Regarding artificial intelligence, Cuban expressed uncertainty about its future trajectory, but assured that he will stay informed and focused on this evolving field.

As an ardent admirer, here’s my take on rephrasing it: If I were a 16-year-old aspiring for extra income back then, the TV star shared his insights about what I might have done differently. He said, “Looking back, there are a few strategies I would employ if I were to start a side gig as a teenager. Here’s what I’d suggest:

Embracing large-scale language models such as ChatGTP, Gemini, Meta, and their peers wholeheartedly, I am eager to master the art of crafting effective prompts and then sharing this knowledge with friends by demonstrating prompt usage.

Later on, I’d visit various businesses, especially smaller ones, since they haven’t grasped the concept of AI fully yet. Regardless of my age, which is 16, I would be the one imparting this knowledge to them. This was mentioned by Cuban.

The man, being a father to three children, boasts an estimated net worth of $5.7 billion (as per Forbes), previously served as the main proprietor and now holds a smaller stake in the Dallas Mavericks basketball team of the NBA, and also shares ownership in 2929 Entertainment.

On the popular ABC reality TV show Shark Tank, Cuban is often referred to as one of the leading “sharks,” but he has announced that he will no longer be a part of the show following the completion of its 16th season.

In an episode of All The Smoke podcast in November 2023, he disclosed that he has just one more year left with the show, stating that “This marks our 15th year, and next year, our 16th year, will be my final year.

Later on, Cuban shared the reason behind his continuous participation on Shark Tank for over a decade, expressing his deep affection for the unique idea underlying the show.

‘I love it because it sends the message the American dream is alive and well,’ he explained.

Lately, Cuban made an appearance on the The Club Shay Shay podcast where he discussed his marriage to Tiffany Stewart, who he wed in 2002.

He revealed some of the bizarre tests he put his wife through before they tied the knot because he had been a billionaire for roughly three years at the time and wanted to see if Stewart was down to earth and dating him for the right reasons.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but imagine if the legendary Mark Cuban were a teenager once more, yearning for additional income. In an interview with CNBC Make It, he shares that, given the opportunity, he’d embark on a specific side hustle.

He informed Shannon Sharpe, “I took her to White Castle. Going there was a trial we had to pass before our marriage.

‘I was like, “We’re going to White Castle, and if you really love me, you’ll eat a White Castle burger!” She did.’

White Castle is a well-known American fast-food restaurant chain, renowned for originating the concept of the miniature burger, often referred to as a slider – a compact, flat version of the traditional hamburger.

Previously during the conversation, Cuban astonished listeners as he revealed an unexpected disclosure when Sharpe inquired about how Cuban could determine if Stewart truly cared for him.

‘You got married after you’d already had some paper – major paper,’ Sharpe said.

He wondered, “In what way did you figure out she loves me because I am Mark? Is it truly possible to ever truly understand?

Cuban replied, “You’re aware, right? She’s okay with you using a cast-iron skillet on her!” The duo erupted in laughter upon hearing this rather unsavory disclosure.

A Dutch Oven is an informal term used to describe a situation where someone passes gas in bed, subsequently pulling the blankets over someone else as a prank to make them believe they are trapped.
