Cuban, the former Shark Tank investor and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, received some backlash for one of his companies partnering with the Trump Administration's TrumpRx prescription drug program earlier this year.
A few years ago, Cuban founded CostPlus Drugs, an online pharmacy that skirts insurance and sells drugs at cost with a 15% markup and fee for pharmacy labor and shipping. The billionaire entrepreneur invested in the drug industry, of course, to make money. But he was and is also helping to solve a public policy problem that Congress isn't dealing with: the insanely high cost of Rx drugs in the United States.
I think [TrumpRx] doing a good job actually. Anytime that you dent those big insurance companies, those mega-conglomerates, that’s a win.” – Mark Cuban to Healthcare Brew, April 1, 2026
