In a brief interview, Mark Cuban explains why he awarded massive bonuses to employees when he sold his companies. He recounts doing this at his first two ventures—MicroSolutions, where all 80 staff received payouts, and Broadcast.com, where 300 of 330 employees became millionaires. He says the practice was driven by gratitude for the team's long‑term support and aimed to provide life‑changing wealth, a principle he also applied to the Dallas Mavericks.

When you sold the company, Mark, you gave your employees, it was reported, $35 million. You gave them bonuses. Why did you feel the need to do that?
You know, and it ended up being a lot more actually, but I'm not there without them. And I did it my first 2 companies. I did it with MicroSolutions. You know, we had 80 employees. They all got paid. I did it with Broadcast.com. Out of 330 employees, 300 became millionaires. And I wanted to do the same thing with the Mavs. You know, they, they were there for me the whole time. And, you know, it was enough money that for those who were there, you know, 20 years or more, it was life-changing money.
You think?
Yeah.
