Oh, not quite my friend. Cuban didn't just handed that money. He got handed stock (not valued that high, mind you) and he figured out a way to sell it without getting raped on taxes.
I think everyone sitting on a pile of cash has a little luck, but, of all the billionaires that I know about, I'll give Mark Cuban mad props for finding/calculating a way to make it happen. He's no silver spoon story in my opinion.
