Mark Cuban Is Divesting from Shark Tank Tonight

Mark Cuban is stepping away from Shark Tank, as the finale airing on May 16 will be his final episode as an investor on the ABC show. After 15 years, Cuban is ready to spend more time with his three children and focus on other ventures, such as Cost Plus Drugs, a company he co-founded in 2022. Despite his departure, Cuban expressed his love for the show and its impact on entrepreneurs worldwide. He plans to miss being a part of Shark Tank but feels it’s time to move on.

Mark Cuban initially made an appearance as a guest investor on “Shark Tank” during season two in 2011, and the following year, he became a permanent member of the cast. In a recent Instagram post honoring “the big brother of all the Sharks,” fellow shark Daymond John stated that Cuban had joined the show at a time when the business reality program was facing potential cancellation and the network desired a well-known figure. “All the supposed stars turned it down because they didn’t want to be next to us ‘nobodies,'” John remembered. “But you didn’t hesitate. You said: ‘If this show is helping educate and inspire America’s children and families, I’m on board.'” Over a decade later, Cuban has decided to step down from the show.
