Biografía

Offered Donald Trump $10 million for a four hour interview. The terms for the interview were that they would only discuss Trump's policy proposals and that no one else besides a broadcast technicians would be present.

After he sold his first company he tried acting without much success and even auditioned for a role in the film Twister in 1996 but lost out to Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Sold garbage bags door to door when he was 12 years old to earn money to buy an expensive pair of basketball shoes.

After dropping out of high school, he took the GED year early and was accepted to the University of Pittsburg and dropped out after a year and transferred to Indiana University because it was the least expensive of the top ten business schools.

Was a season ticket holder to the Dallas Mavericks before purchasing the club.

[on the one thing he would want to hang on to if he should lose all his money and possessions] Diapers. I have little kids. Everything else I could figure out, but I would need those diapers.

[on success] I used to drive around, look at the big houses and imagine what it would be like to live there, and use that as motivation. But I never imagined that would happen to me. I try not to take any of it for granted, and make sure that no one ever pinches me so I wake up.

I hate politics. It's slimy. Any job where people pander for votes I don't like. The country has gotten so partisan that if you're not on my side, you're the enemy.

[A 2007 prediction about what the next big money-maker might be] The one thing I know is the next opportunity won't be on the Internet. It will be a technology that is somewhere else. Some ten-year-old little girl will come up with it, and we'll all wonder how we missed it.

[on being approached to fund potential business projects] The list is long, from hair implants to braces, to breast implants. I always get 'I hear that you're worth X amount of dollars, so one tenth of one-percent - you're not going to miss it. Would you just write me a check?' It's fun. It's a good problem to have.
