Mark Cuban’s $36 Million Gift Despite Ugly Mavericks Split Has Fans Stunned – All About Dallas’ Luxurious Private Jet

The Dallas Mavericks completed their first full season without the iconic former owner in charge, Mark Cuban. After 23 years of partnership with the Mavs, the business tycoon chose to bid his farewell. The 65YO mogul sees a future NBA ownership where the advantages will be in real estate. Therefore, Mark sold a majority of the Mavericks stakes to a pair of families with strong ties to the hotel and casino industry. However, a special gesture from the high-profile billionaire for his former team has stunned the fans.

Despite the awkward and silent exit, Mark Cuban has maintained his loyalty to the Mavs. Therefore, when he chose to gift the team a $36M personalized Boeing 757-200, fans were shocked. Keeping in mind the comfort and luxury of the Mavericks players, Cuban made sure the aircraft turned out to be the absolute comfort right after the games or before the same. So, let’s take a quick tour of the Boeing 757-200 jet.

Aircraft enthusiast Mark Cuban’s special Boeing 757-200 jet gift for the Dallas Mavericks

Cuban has a good collection of jets; from a Bombardier Global Express to a Gulfstream V, the billionaire flaunts his hobbies with style. Besides being the ex-owner of the Mavs, Mark Cuban was also a judge in the ABC business show, ‘Shark Tank’. The wealthiest shark enjoys molding the careers of basketball players and investing in start-ups. Meanwhile, his love for basketball and the Dallas Mavericks made him offer a luxurious gift- the Boeing 757-200 jet.

The aircraft is a narrow-bodied airliner with a variety of features. The 757-200 is 155ft (43.3 m) long with a wingspan of 134’9″ and a tail of 44’6″. You might not understand the measurements, so in simple words, Mark Cuban’s gift is massive. It is the perfect carrier for the Dallas boys who’d experience the finest luxuries and services in the jet itself. However, we don’t know much about the custom-made interior because the ex-owner prefers to keep the team’s secrets. As a result, only one leaked footage via Dwight Powell has been circulating on the internet.

Since the onboarding passengers are all nearly 7 feet tall or more, the ceiling seems to be slightly elevated. Moreover, the insane leg space before each seat makes us wonder, when will the Economy Class also have at least an ounce of this! Moreover, there are a bunch of dining tables with four chairs each and a bar counter right in front of the eating space. With clean white interiors, the customized Boeing 757-200 is a marvel to look at.

This sweet gesture of $36 million from Mark Cuban, despite his exit from the Dallas Mavericks ownership also shows how dearly he holds the team to his heart. Since we’re already talking about Cuban’s departure after two decades, let’s dive deeper!

Cuban handed over the ownership of the Mavericks for a better future

The families of Miriam Adelson and Sivan and Patrick Dumont, who own and operate the Las Vegas Sands Corp are business giants. Particularly involved in the hotels and casino industries typical to the Sin City, Mark Cuban thought it’d be the right decision to sell a majority of his stakes to them. The ex-owner had expressed his excitement regarding this. But what does the future hold for him with the Mavs?

Mark Cuban wanted to own the NBA team well into his old age. However, a shift in the business and media world led to his decision to sell. Local TV deals became a problem. Cuban could have sold the team for more. He believed the new ownership group would boost the team’s revenue. Mark Cuban noted media companies are closing or merging. This makes media deals less valuable. And teams now spend more due to real estate empires. Therefore the deal went to one of the biggest real estate moguls in Vegas.

Thus ended the ‘owner era’ of Mark Cuban for the Dallas Mavericks. When he took over the team, it was one of the weakest ones playing in the NBA. Through crucial investments and time given to nurture the team, the Mavs won their first Conference title in 2006 and their first title win in 2011. Years of hard work bore the results, but now that Cuban won’t be around, let’s see how the team manages without him.
