Mark Cuban On How To Get Rich
Andrew Farrell
by Andrew Farrell  10-6-2008    1
 I'm always amazed that people will shell out money for get-rich-quick schemes. Anybody that has actually earned their riches justly will tell the real way to a fortune is a lot of hard work.

Billionaires Who Weren't
Andrew Farrell
by Andrew Farrell  9-30-2008   
 With all the Web titans on our list of the world's billionaires, it's tempting to think that any intelligent person with a decent tech idea in the late 90s became fabulously rich. Definitely not the case. For every billion-dollar success there were plenty of eToys and Pets.com.

The Latest Social Network
Andrew Farrell
by Andrew Farrell  9-4-2008   
 Sounds like it has a decent chance. Gamers spend a lot of time online and Raptr's co-founder has a solid track record. He sold XFire--sort of like a gaming instant messenger--for $102 million in 2006.

Andrew Farrell
by Andrew Farrell  6-20-2008   
 Billionaire Bloomberg isn't running for President but he might have a say in who wins. If the popular NYC mayor proves he has some influence in the key swing state of Florida, he could have an effect on the election's outcome.

Amazon.com The Store?
Andrew Farrell
by Andrew Farrell  6-12-2008   
 Amazon has a big advantage over brick-and-mortar retailers because most of its customers don't pay sales tax. That basically adds an 8% discount to all its goods and lures more customers. But Amazon is losing that advantage as states change their sales tax codes. Billionaire Bill Ackerman has a plan. Buy Borders.

Billionaire Indicted On Drug Charges
Andrew Farrell
by Andrew Farrell  6-5-2008   
 Billionaire and Broadcom co-founder Henry Nicholas was indicted today for stock-options backdating. Not a big surprise, since there had been a very public investigation for a while. What is surprising is another indictment unsealed today that alleges Nicholas was heavily involved with illegal drugs like ecstasy and cocaine. Nicholas allegedly called them "party favors" and used them to drug industry execs and Broadcom customers. One bizarre story from the indictment: it alleges Nicholas distributed his party favors during a private flight. The indictment says that so much pot smoke filled the air, the pilot was forced to put on his oxygen mask.

Yahoo's Scorched Earth Tactics
Andrew Farrell
by Andrew Farrell  6-4-2008   
 Seems like Jerry Yang's Yahoo was considering some creative ways to fight off a Microsoft acquisition. E-mails suggest the company was considering giving employees financial incentive to quit if acquired by Microsoft. It's reminiscent of the old war tactic of salting the earth. Retreating armies dump salt on farmland so that their enemies won't be able to use them.
