如今,他公开表示,正是这种节俭习惯,成为其创办首家企业的关键驱动力之一。 在成为亿万富翁企业家和投资人之前,马克·库班曾与五位室友合租一套三居室公寓,并为节省开支而 在深夜采购食品杂货。 当被网友问及此生最成功的投资时,这位《创智赢家》节目明星回答道:"大学毕业多年,我仍保持学 生时期的生活方式,旨在创办自己的企业。" "我常沉迷于钻研一款新软件,废寝忘食,抬头看时间时以为才傍晚六七点,却发现已是凌晨一两点, 时间飞逝。" 如今,库班希望Z世代能以同样的态度学习人工智能。今年三月,他甚至与MasterClass合作推出一款名 为MasterClass on Call的聊天机器人,用户可向人工智能版库班咨询,获取复刻他成功经验的建议。 这位达拉斯独行侠队老板并非首次承认靠节俭积累财富。此前在"成功与动力"系列博文中,他就分享过 塑造自己今日商业领袖地位的极度节俭习惯。 这些习惯包括:驾驶价值200美元的破旧汽车(其中一辆的车底板还破了个洞)、因无力承担卧室租金 而睡在"沙发或地板上"、身着他为求职面试购买的两套聚酯纤维西装中的一套——两套总价99美元。 如今,库班的净资产约为60亿美元,住在达拉斯一套面积达2. ...
