See Mark Cuban's 288-foot yacht with basketball court on the stern

If you were on Mark Cuban's level, there's you no question you'd roll in style. But would you roll in this much style?

Cuban's 288-foot yacht "Fountainhead" recently was docked outside of Miami hotel the Epic.

If you were walking along outside the hotel, it would be pretty hard to miss this boat.

The Mavs owner is clearly ready to host his players at all times as there is a basketball hoop attached to the stern. Because if a Mav takes a vacation on a yacht the first thing on his mind is practicing on the water, right?

Have to wonder how it feels to be a Miami Heat fan and down on the water is gigantic reminder of the team that beat the locals in the 2011 finals.

Want some other shots of how Mark Cuban rolls at sea? Check out the pictures below.

The reason: Arrington says he noticed an error on the paperwork and refused to sign it until it was fixed. His boat was seized instead.

Sander Sinot has a background in industrial design and understands how to bring together amazing design elements down to every detail on the vessel.

FOUNTAINHEAD was designed to offer a family home on the water with an inviting interior, gym, contraflow swimming pool, and plenty of water toys and tenders for guests to enjoy a fun time.

The FOUNTAINHEAD yacht features exterior design and naval architecture by De Voogt Naval Architects .

She was built by Feadship and delivered from their Koninklijke De Vries shipyard at Makkumin in 2011.

'Shark Tank' Star Mark Cuban Anchors Yacht Off Long Island Sound

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Dallas Mavericks owner and celebrity judge on the ABC-TV show "Shark Tank" Mark Cuban has been anchoring his yacht in 50 feet of water off Stamford Harbor for nearly a month.

Mark Cuban's 288-foot 'Fountainhead' is currently anchored off Stamford Harbor.

The yacht has three smaller boats onboard to ferry guests and crew to and from the shore.

An outdoor basketball court is on the second deck overhang.

A view from the stern.

Measuring 288 feet, the Cayman Island-registered Fountainhead  boasts four decks, a sonar and radar tower, as well as half-court basketball court onboard. Purchased in 2012, the boat is a sister ship to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's  Musashi, a ccording to a recent Forbes  article .

Cuban also owns Landmark Theaters and Magnolia Pictures but gained fame as owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. Known for his outspoken criticism of the league and his popularity among players, Cuban has become one of the most recognized owners in all of sports. Additionally, he also serves as a judge on the ABC entrepreneurial show "Shark Tank."

It is unclear as to whether Cuban is currently on board and why the ship has remained anchored here since early June.

On the reality show "Shark Tank," budding entrepreneurs get the chance to bring their dreams to fruition. They present their ideas to the sharks in the tank -- five titans of industry. Each contestant tries to persuade one of the sharks to invest in their idea.

Watson Island

Yacht watch: the $545m luna is docked in miami.

With a missile-defense system and bulletproof windows

We've seen some exceptional yachts come through the Magic City -- from the 377-foot Pelorus to Mark Cuban's 288-foot Fountainhead -- but the 377-foot Luna, last valued at $545 million, is truly a marvel.

Both Luna and Fountainhead are currently docked at Watson Island's Island Gardens Marina off the MacArthur causeway in Miami. Notice the enormous disparity in size, as Luna (front) makes Cuban's vessel (back left) look like a speedboat in comparison.

At 377 feet, Luna is the second largest expedition yacht in the world. It's so large it has two helipads.

It was built for Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, owner of Chelsea F.C, and then sold to his billionaire pal Farkhad Akhmedov for $400 million in April 2014.

After purchasing his new toy, Akhmedov poured $50 million into a refit that fall.

A photo posted by Ronald Christie (@worldwide_ron) on May 3, 2016 at 7:15pm PDT

Estimated to be worth $545 million as of 2010, Luna has NINE decks, nine cabins and is capable of sleeping 18 guests with a crew of up to 50 people.

Amenities include the two helipads, anchor stabilizers, multiple jacuzzis, a swimming pool, elevator, beach club, dance floor, gym, and spa.

Among its wide array of water toys is a mini submarine.

Another ridiculously cool feature is the roof opening above the master cabin, allowing guests to sleep under the stars.

The vessel is practically indestructible, with bulletproof windows and an anti-missile system.

Why Mark Cuban doesn't own yachts or hire house cleaners: 'I try to be the same person I was when I was poor'

When it comes to luxury spending, billionaire Mark Cuban draws the line at yachts, butlers and house cleaning services.

"I just try to be the same person, I mean, as I was when I was poor, middle and rich," Cuban, 65, told "The Really Good Podcast" on Thursday. "The whole idea of like, get a yacht ... it's just not what I would do."

Cuban, a serial entrepreneur and startup investor, has a net worth of $5.1 billion , according to Forbes. He's not opposed to big-ticket purchases: He spent $13 million on a 24,000-square-foot Dallas mansion and $40 million for a private Gulfstream V business jet in 1999, shortly after becoming a billionaire . The following year, he bought the NBA's Dallas Mavericks for $285 million.

Rather, Cuban's decision to not pay for certain services is less about frugality and more about his desire for a private life. His family usually does their own chores, like washing clothes and cooking meals, he noted.

"I like the privacy," Cuban said. "I've been around people who hire somebody to do everything for them, and that's just, like, no privacy."

Similarly, Cuban didn't feel the need to make new friends upon entering a new tax bracket, he said: "Most of my friends are guys that I moved to Dallas with or friends in Indiana from school. We still tell the same stupid ass stories and do the same stupid s---, and you know, that's good."

In January, Cuban told CBS's "Sunday Morning" that he'd worked hard to keep his wealth from changing his personality, and that he'd be just as happy with 1% of his net worth . Later in the interview, a group of Cuban's childhood friends confirmed it.

"Little more full of it, but not that much more full of it," Jerry Katz, one of those friends, said. "But still the same guy."

That isn't the case for most people: Typically, the wealthier you feel, the worse you behave, according to Paul Piff , an associate professor of psychological science at the University of California, Irvine.

"As a person's levels of wealth increase, their feelings of compassion and empathy go down, and their feelings of entitlement, of deservingness and their ideology of self-interest increases," Piff said in a 2013 TED Talk .

When that happens, small reality checks can help you get back on track, Piff added: "Small nudges in certain directions can restore levels of egalitarianism and empathy."

Cuban now owns three houses, and refers to a couple of his private jets as his "best toys," he said on the podcast. Buying a private jet "was my all-time goal, because the asset I value the most is time, and that bought me time," he  told Money  in 2017.

Still, Cuban wants to remain the same person he was when he was "broke," he said on the podcast.

"When I was broke, I had a blast," said Cuban. "I loved my life ... I was still having fun."

When in college, Mark Cuban desired to enter the billionaire boys’ club, and he rightly did so. The Shark Tank investor is proudest of his most celebrated investment, purchasing the Dallas Mavericks. It puts him right next to his NFL contemporary, Jerry Jones, who owns the Dallas Cowboys. But one thing that Cuban would kick himself over is his yacht compared to Jones.

Among other things, the 288-feet-long ‘Fountainhead’ has a basketball court on board. Talk about luxuries. In addition, ‘Fountainhead’ is equipped to house 14 guests. It has a library, a recreation room, a full gym and health club, and a contra-flow swimming pool.

However, the one who puts dust on Cuban’s yacht is Jerry Jones’ $250 million yacht. Wondering the luxuries that Jones’ yacht possesses, let’s dive right into it!

It also has a garage for Jones’ jet skis and boats. The Bravo Eugenia is 357 feet long, probably one of the most premium quality super yachts owned by the billionaires in the NFL.

Mark Cuban Reveals The One Reason Why He Avoids Yachts, Butlers And Chauffeurs

Zinger key points.

• Cuban corrected assumptions about owning a 288-foot yacht and said he doesn't own a boat.

Mark Cuban  may be a billionaire investor and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, but he doesn't always act like one. 

During an  episode  of "The Really Good Podcast" last week, Cuban shared that he deliberately avoids certain habits typically associated with the extremely wealthy.

"I just try to be the same person, I mean, as I was when I was poor, middle, and rich," Cuban told host Bobbi Althoff on the podcast.

Cuban, who is often known for his antics during NBA games and as a saavy investor on "Shark Tank," said that he doesn't hire staff to clean his home, cook his meals or drive for him. He said purchasing a yacht is "just not what I would do." He added that more staff often means less privacy for those like him who employ large teams.

"I like the privacy," Cuban said. "I've been around people who hire somebody to do everything for them, and that's just, like, no privacy."

During the interview, Cuban corrected assumptions about his ownership of a 288-foot yacht. "The guy who owns the boat tells everyone it's mine," Cuban said. "It's so crazy, I don't even own a boat."

During an interview earlier in July, Cuban shared about the one time  he missed one of the biggest investments of his life.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

All aboard S.S. Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly gifted himself a $300 million megayacht, dubbed “Launchpad,” ahead of his 40th birthday.

The staggering 387-foot-long vessel was seen floating at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after arriving at its berth earlier this week, The Sun reported Thursday.

The multi-layered luxury ship’s sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and boasts a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times.

Reportedly ranking as the 45th largest yacht in the world, the interiors are just as aesthetically pleasing and reportedly executed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design.

The breathtakingly beautiful floater stands out with a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood-paneled stern.

There are several outdoor areas where the social media maven will be able to relax with his family and the indoor levels feature glass paneling allowing for tons of natural light.

There also appears to be a helipad perfect for whenever the Facebook co-founder wants to travel to his vessel by air.

The Feadship-built yacht, built in 2022, can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and is said to cost $30 million a year for upkeep and usage, according to Superyachtfan.com .

Boatworld insiders have been buzzing with speculation that Zuckerberg is the owner of the newly minted mega-cruise ever since it made its main voyage from the Netherlands last week.

The tech titan was spotted touring the Russian-commissioned megayacht in early March, though the impressive boat didn’t arrive stateside until this week due to sanctions, according to The Sun.

The website reported that Zuckerberg purchased the pricey yacht – along with its own $30 million partner boat — most likely as an early 40th birthday present to himself.

The boat reportedly traveled to Florida after being granted special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg’s birthday on May 14.

Zuckerberg’s yacht is just 30 feet shorter than the length of fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru, which the Amazon boss snagged for a whopping $500 million.

Zuckerberg’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Mark Zuckerberg’s $300million ‘birthday present’ mega yacht arrives in US – it even has its own $30m ‘wingman’ boat

FACEBOOK founder Mark Zuckerberg has shown off his wealth at sea, bringing his multimillion-dollar yacht to the United States just weeks before his birthday.

After rumors the billionaire was looking to invest in a yacht began circulating, Zuckerberg was quick to snag a $300 million mega yacht complete with its own $30 million partner boat.

He was seen in the Netherlands touring Project 1010, a Russian-commissioned mega yacht, in early March.

Due to sanctions involved in importing the vessel to the United States, delivery of Zuckerberg's multimillion-dollar boat was delayed.

It was first spotted in home waters on March 20.

The 387-foot-long vessel docked at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with its chrome finish reflecting a harsh sun.

Project 1010 made its maiden voyage from the Netherlands after receiving special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg's birthday, which is on May 14, raising questions about whether it could be a gift to mark the occasion.

The mega vessel is not far off the size of Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos' $500 million 417-foot tall mega yacht, Koru, which was spotted in the same state in November 2023.

The Abeona, his mega yacht's support vessel, a 264-foot garage to hold Bezos' luxury cars, private helicopter, and jet skis, was docked at a slip four miles away.

To put into perspective the additional costs Zuckerberg is looking at, Bezos reportedly bankrolled a $16,500 per week bill for Koru to stay at the port, part of the $25 million in annual costs the ship will rack up.

But cost is no object to 39-year-old Zuckerberg, as he was the youngest billionaire to make the top 10 wealthiest people in the world list.

In 2021, Zuckerberg was reportedly worth $108 billion, an amount that rose to $138.4 billion by January 2024.

Zuckerberg is hardly known for conserving his money when faced with large purchases.

In December 2021, it was reported that Zuckerberg was  breaking ground  on an estimated $270 million, 57,000-square-foot Doomsday bunker.

Plans for the structure include filling the football field-sized space with 30 bedrooms, elevators, a swimming pool, sauna, tennis court, and full-sized gym.

EARNING $48,328 - MINUTE BY MINUTE

While a $330 million purchase might sound outlandish to most, especially when coupled with a $270 million bunker, Zuckerberg can make that money back in about two months.

The Meta, formerly Facebook, founder reportedly makes between $6 million and $12 million each day, equating to an estimated yearly earning of more than $3 billion.

In 2018, Zuckerberg earned roughly $1.7 million an hour, according to previous Business Insider calculations.

By 2020, he ranked as the fourth richest person on the planet.

For scale, it takes Zuckerberg less than an hour-and-a-half to earn what the Social Security Administration reports an average American man with a bachelor's degree will earn in his lifetime — $2.2 million.

In less than two minutes, Zuckerberg makes what it takes the full-time median US worker a year to earn — $48,328, writes  Business Insider.
