Mark Cuban hasn’t shied away from expressing his political opinions. Over the years, he’s openly doled out advice to both major U.S. parties, from ripping into Donald Trump to criticizing Joe Biden. Given his obvious interest, it was no huge surprise when, in 2017, he said he himself would consider running for president, most likely as a Republican. In an interview with Harvey Levin that year, he shared (via Insider) that the only thing holding him back was Tiffany Stewart. “My kids love it, my wife hates it, so that’s an influencing factor,” he admitted. He also told The New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin that his wife’s reaction to his potentially running for office was very clear: “She asked me if I want to stay married,” he shared. What’s more, he confessed, per CNBC, “If I was single, I would do it for sure.”
Even so, that didn’t stop Cuban from teasing a 2020 presidential run, although his “Shark Tank” co-star Barbara Corcoran told Sports Illustrated it was unlikely to happen. “I’ll tell you who I do believe: Mark’s wife,” she told the mag. “I said to her, ‘Are you going to let Mark run for president?’ and she said ‘Absolutely not!'” That sentiment has lived on, and when NBC News asked Cuban in 2023 if he would finally make the ballot in 2024, he admitted, “No, my family would disown me.”
