Latest News about Mark Cuban
Cuban outlined a five-step plan to make healthcare more affordable, directing criticism at drug middlemen whom he described as engaging in contractual abuses. The proposal draws on his work with Cost Plus Drugs and his broader push for lower prescription costs.
Mark Cuban joined Harbinger Sports Partners, a newly launched private equity fund of about $750 million, which took a minority stake in the Las Vegas Athletics. The deal marks his first ownership interest in Major League Baseball, following his 2023 sale of a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks.
Cuban appeared with President Donald Trump at a White House event announcing an expansion of the TrumpRx platform, which lists generic drugs from his company Cost Plus Drugs. The appearance drew criticism from some who had noted his earlier support for Kamala Harris, and he later deleted a profanity-laced X post defending his participation.
