In his 20s, Mark Cuban said he wanted to get rich and retire in his 30s. He became a millionaire at 32 -- here's why more than three decades later the owner of the Dallas Mavericks still hasn't retired
Kevin O'Leary, Cuban's co-star on ABC's"Shark Tank," has spoken about a similar dynamic. In 1999, O'Leary and his co-founders sold Softkey Software Products — later called The Learning Company — to the Mattel Toy Company for $4.2 billion. O'Leary promptly retired at age 36, and ultimately regretted it.
"I achieved great liquidity and I thought to myself, 'Hey I'm 36, I can retire now,'" O'Leary told CNBC Make It in 2019."I retired for three years. I was bored out of my mind." O'Leary came out of retirement for the same reason why Cuban won't quit: Working provides him with challenge and a sense of identity, he said.
"Working is not just about money," O'Leary, now 68, said."Work defines who you are. It provides a place where you're social with people, it gives you interaction with people all day long in an interesting way. It even helps you live longer and is very, very good for brain health."
