Billionaires have the ability to buy just about anything you can think of owning — and more. So, when news first broke that Mark Cuban planned on buying a ghost town in Texas, this wasn’t entirely shocking. That said, absolutely nobody could have guessed what it was that inspired him to make such an unusual $2 million dollar purchase. Many years ago, Cuban befriended a man named Marty Price. The two of them bonded over their love of basketball. So, when Marty developed cancer that would eventually take his life, Cuban was willing to do anything he could to help. At that time, Marty owned a tiny town in Texas called Mustang. He didn’t have it in him to deal with selling or maintaining it, but he didn’t want to leave that responsibility to his friends or family either. Luckily, Cuban had an unexpected solution.

At the moment, nothing is concrete. That said, he does have an idea — and he has a Shark Tank contestant to thank for it. You may even recognize him: Dino Don. “We haven’t worked it through yet, but there’s a chance we might change Mustang, Texas, to Dinosaur, Texas and have all these big, huge, ‘Jurassic Park’-like dinosaurs,” Cuban explains. Until then, Cuban’s friend, Tommy Sinclair, will continue his role as mayor. His job? To maintain the cleanliness of this once rundown town.
