Mark Cuban reveals a 'friend' sent him a letter demanding $275,000 — and he never spoke to him again
“He sent me a letter — didn't even talk to me. He sent me a letter: 'Hey Mark, I need $275,000. I know it's not a big deal to you anymore. I'll just pick up a check.'”
“I have not talked to him since. That's offensive.”

Brandon Marshall STRUGGLED to grasp how his Miami Dolphins teammate, Channing Crowder would be “SET for LIFE” and happy making only $300,000 a year post-retirement after making MILLIONS in in the NFL

Channing’s plan was to park the $6,000,000 in a high yield savings account that would generate him an annual return of 5% which is $300,000, for the rest of his life without having to lift a finger.
SMART!
