Mark Cuban says his AmEx Black Card got declined buying a $140,000 bottle of champagne after the Mavericks won the NBA Finals
“Jason Terry took over and was like, ‘Okay, we're getting these buses. We're all going to LIV.’ I'm like, ‘Cool. Let's go.’ And everybody had family and everything. We just went there and tore it up”
“Then one of the owners or whoever, came up to me and they're like, ‘Hey, we got this $140,000 bottle of champagne’, and Dirk is right there. He goes, ‘Yes’”
“I'm like, ‘Okay, whatever.’ I'm feeling no pain. I get out my Black and I give him the card. And then Dirk 10 minutes later is like, ‘Where is it?’”
“Then I get a tap on the shoulder. They're like, ‘Mr. Cuban, hey, come here.’ And so I got to go to the back of the office. My card got declined. You know how when you get a new card, you got to sign it, call in. I hadn't done that yet”
“I get on the phone, call AmEx, and they're like, ‘I'm sorry, sir.’ I'm like, ‘Did you watch TV today. Did you watch the basketball Finals today. Can I talk to your manager?’ And they finally approved it. The pictures are great of us. Just huge bottle”
Where is the sisterhood on this? They always say men leave when things get hard. This man stayed by her side through her health crisis. He never left her. Then he suffered a life-changing amputation, and she’s already talking about leaving to go do something “more fun.” If the roles were reversed, people would be outraged and calling the man every name in the book. Loyalty shouldn’t only matter when it’s convenient. He will find a much younger and attractive woman. She will be used for her money.
