As Mark Cuban's Net Worth Neared $1 Billion, He Sat Naked at Computer Refreshing Until It Hit

Mark Cuban was a guest on entrepreneur and Yahoo Finance contributor James Altucher’s podcast (embedded above) earlier this week. The Mavericks owner discussed his start-up app Cyber Dust, which is a messaging app in which texts disappear forever after 30 seconds. Cuban also brought up the recently-launched Xspire, which, amongst other things, allows you to set expiration times for your tweets to automatically delete.
