Mark Cuban’s response to a Tweet? A $100,000 donation to the Victims of Hurricane Sandy
Mark Cuban proved that he’s not all talk. The Billionaire did his part to help storm victims, donating $100,000 to the remaining Hurricane Sandy sufferers who are now primarily in the Far Rockaway area.
The donation came at the heels of a tweet. Cuban’s friend and reporter for the NY Nnicks, Jill Martin saw a tweet that was asking for help. The tweet was sent on behalf of the Church of the Nazarene, stating that they needed “food and baby essentials ASAP”.
Jill Martin was inspired and decided to roll up her sleeves and pitch in. She collected donations and delivered supplies personally to the church meeting with the pastor, Revered Dr. Mullings.
Jill then began posting her own messages on twitter to her 168,000 plus followers. This got the attention of none other than Mark Cuban who made the donation.

Cuban is #206 on the Forbes 400 and #188 in the United States. Respectively $100,000 to Cuban is like $40 to you and I, but it will still go a long way. Good lookin’ out “Cubes” – BTW Don’t ever call him “Cubes”.
Mark Cuban net worth: $2.3 Billion
