Extravagant lifestyle of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is quite legendary. A Shark Tank judge has never been shy of spending money. Especially, when it caters to his team and players. And that is why his $144.1 million purchase overshadows Tom Brady?s former team and his billionaire owner.

According to Joe Pompliano, Kraft included multiple HD screens for the in-flight entertainment of players and staff. The plane also features a food menu that is customized with ice cream, chicken breasts, and Angus beef burgers as well.

But all this may seem nothing when compared to Mark Cuban?s private jet.
