'People Treat You Differently' When You're Rich, Says Mark Cuban. He Thinks Money 'Makes Ugly People Handsome And Pretty'
Mark Cuban doesn't sugarcoat what it's like to be wealthy. "It makes ugly people handsome and pretty," he joked during a recent appearance on the 'Your Mom's House' podcast. The billionaire entrepreneur and former 'Shark Tank' investor opened up about how money and fame change how others perceive and treat you. 'When you're on these lists and everything, people know who you are,' he explained. 'People treat you differently.' Cuban, who grew up working class in Pittsburgh, said he still values his privacy and avoids expanding his social circle. 'I'm not looking for new friends. My friends are my high school buddies, my college buddies, my rugby teammates.' Don't Miss:Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:. 'There's a fame mist. Once you become famous, people like you a lot more. Same with money,' podcast co-host Christina Pazsitzky said, with Cuban agreeing: 'They go hand in hand.' He admits the attention can be uncomfortable. Even his kids sometimes ask him not to come to their basketball games because of the commotion. 'They know if I go, the other team will come up and take pictures,' he said. So sometimes he'll just come in the back door. Cuban says the biggest misconception about wealth is that it automatically makes life better. 'If you were happy when you were poor, you're going to be happy when you're rich. If you were miserable when you were poor, you're going to be miserable when you're rich.' One of his first big purchases? A plane. But he says the real luxury is time. 'The time that you save is money in the bank,' he told the podcast co-host, Tom Segura. 'The more time you have, the more money you'll make.' Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . Cuban shared a story from his teenage years during a newspaper strike in Pittsburgh. At 16, he and his friends drove to Cleveland, bought up newspapers, and then resold them in Pittsburgh for a profit. They stood on the corners in the morning selling papers for a dollar each when they used to be a quarter, with people even tipping them. That entrepreneurial spirit never faded. He says he's been that way since age 9 or 10. Today, he encourages his children to follow their own paths. 'You don't have to know what you're going to be when you grow up,' he told one of his kids. 'Just be curious. The more knowledge you have, the more capabilities and options you have.'Even with all his success, Cuban says he still reads daily and keeps learning, especially about AI and healthcare. He credits motivational speaker Zig Ziglar for helping him stay driven early in his career. He'd drive around listening to the same Zig Ziglar tape over and over to get motivated. Cuban then emphasized one of his core beliefs: failure is part of the game. 'If you're not failing, you're not trying.' Read Next: Here's what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.

Mark Cuban Calls Elon Musk 'Thin Skinned' But Still Owns a Tesla — Says He'd Rather Drive His Electric Kia Because 'It Doesn't Try To Be Too Fancy'
Mark Cuban doesn't hold back when it comes to Elon Musk. He's publicly mocked him and clowned on him in interviews. On the "Club Shay Shay" podcast, he even admitted he enjoys riling the guy up because Musk has "really thin skin and it just makes it easy." So, it's not exactly what you'd expect when Cuban casually drops that he still owns a Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). "I haven't sold it yet," he said on the "Your Mom's House" podcast in March. But that's about as much love as he's giving the car—or Musk—these days. Don't Miss: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. Because when Cuban was asked a straightforward question—what's your favorite car?—he didn't name-drop a Ferrari or some futuristic prototype. He answered the way a dad trying to justify his Costco membership might. "A Kia. EV6," he said, grinning. "I like it. I'm comfortable with it." Then he added the real kicker: "It's cheap." Cuban explained that while he still owns the Tesla, he's not exactly impressed with the design choices. "On the Tesla you've got to find [the turn signal] and push the button... while you're driving. You can't pay attention to the road as much." The Kia, by contrast, does what it's supposed to do—without trying to reinvent the steering wheel. "It doesn't try to be too fancy," he said. "Your turn signal is like... a turn signal." Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — And while the EV6 doesn't exactly scream "billionaire status," Cuban doesn't care. His 15-year-old son, however, does. When Cuban pitched the Kia as a possible hand-me-down for driving practice, his son's response was blunt: "It's not cool, Dad." Worse? He called it a "nerd car." "Exactly," Cuban responded, proudly accepting the title. Still, the EV6 isn't some dinky eco-mobile. The 2025 model boasts up to 319 miles of range, ultra-fast charging, and enough horsepower to smoke some luxury crossovers at a stoplight. It's even won awards, including World Performance Car of the Year. Not bad for a "nerd car." As for fancier rides, Cuban's been there, done that. Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari—even a Hummer. But they were too loud, too annoying, or just too thirsty for gas. He caved and bought the same Lamborghini SUV Luka Dončić had, then promptly ditched it. "I had to get gas every 17 minutes," he said. "It was just too much."These days, it's all about simplicity. Cuban plugs the Kia in at night and goes. "It has a 300-mile range. The stereo system is good." Maybe that's what makes Cuban different from most billionaires. He's got a backup jet but drives a car that costs less than the average Tesla. And when the guy who once bought suits just because they didn't need belts says he's happy with a basic turn signal, you kind of have to believe him. So yes, Mark Cuban still owns a Tesla. But if you see him on the road, odds are he's behind the wheel of a Kia—with zero shame and a full charge.
