"Mark Cuban, the billionaire former principal owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Shark Tank star, recently said AI could help make the world's first trillionaire. "We haven't seen the best or the craziest of what [AI is] going to be able to do," Cuban told the High Performance podcast in an episode published last summer. "And not only do I think it'll create a trillionaire, but it could be just one dude in the basement. That's how crazy it could be.""
"Take OpenAI, for example, which was formed in cofounder and president Greg Brockman's living room in 2015. OpenAI is reportedly vying for an $800 billion valuation as it pursues more funding. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is worth about $2 billion. While that's a far cry from AI creating the world's first trillionaire, a September 2024 report by wealth-tracking service Informa Connect said Tesla CEO Elon Musk is on pace to become a trillionaire by 2027."
"Cuban appears to firmly believe in the power of AI, and said we're only in the "preseason" of what the technology can really do. "As it becomes more advanced-and I'm not saying we're going to get the Terminator-I'm not saying all of a sudden there's going to be robots that are smarter than people, like the movie," he told High Performance. "But we'll find ways to make our lives better, more interesting, to work better, more effectively.""
Artificial intelligence promises to accelerate creation of massive personal and corporate wealth, with potential to produce the world's first trillionaire. Mark Cuban predicts AI could enable unprecedented success even for solitary founders working from home. OpenAI began in a cofounder's living room and now pursues an $800 billion valuation while its CEO has about $2 billion in personal worth. A report said Elon Musk may reach trillionaire status by 2027. Cuban describes current AI capabilities as only the "preseason," expects practical advances to improve daily life and productivity, and uses AI to track his health and medications.
