Mark Cuban is a billionaire -- net worth $2.6 billion -- so $3 million is a drop in the bucket to him. But all deals are subject to verification of whatever the entrepreneur has said in the presentation. (I read that only half of all the deals ever get funded because of that.) The actual presentations are usually 30+ minutes long -- we see only small snippets -- so there's a high likelihood the girls said something that wasnt verifiable.
Probably because 20% of his eye rolling or unkind faces are still hurtful
and demeaning...especially unnecessary to newbies making their first
pitch and on TV no less...not everyone is as sharp as him or can make a decision fast.
He is entitled to feel what he does and valid...but to not be kinder in his
exasperations is tough for me to watch.
Some of the others say the same thing without being so intense.
I would not want to be in the newbies shoes facing 'the way he rejects'.
That is 20% ....80% of his rejections are just fine.
You never know which way he will role.
Barbara, also, there is no reason for that intense look when
she says, "I like your product. I just don't trust you."
Come on...you didn't have to say that, Barbara, my God.
Kevin is a cruel, unfeeling person...unless it suits him.
I know they are not saints...but it doesn't mean I don't want them to be.
I've also seen Mark come to a presenter's defense more than once. I like them all, and they each bring something special to the deal.
They're sharks not guppies. Whining about their being "mean" is yet another example of why some women can't make it in the boardroom.

Yes, I know he's a billionaire.... but he's also haggled over several thousands of dollars in other deals so he's obviously tight or careful with his money.
But the question wasn't whether he could afford $3 million.... the question was whether it was a legit offer in the context of the show or just one of his trolling attempts where he's just testing their resolve.
Anyone know if that $30 Million offer Cuban made to the 3 Korean girls was legally binding? Had they accepted, I have a feeling Cuban the weasel would have back-peddled and said it wasn't a real offer and he was only testing them to see if they were really committed to their business.
I believe that all offers are contingent on passing the due diligence (by both parties0. There is never a 100% completion rate on the offers.

It seemed to me that it was more of a hypothetical question than an outright offer.

I believe he said "If I offered you $30M for your company, would you sell it to me?"
And I don't understand why the 3 were secretive about exactly how many members they have signed up.
"Between 100k and 500k ..." that's so shady.

He didn't make them an offer, he asked them a question. Offer's are made using the words, "I'm going to make you an offer" or "I'll offer you ...". His question never included the word 'offer'.
At 9:55, Cuban asked "Let me ask you a question: If I offered you $30M for your company, would you take it?"
