Inside the Pockets of Shark Tank’s Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, and Robert Herjavec
Discover the fascinating contents of the wallets belonging to 'Shark Tank' legends Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, and Robert Herjavec, as they reveal their personal superstitions, exclusively for Us Weekly
Shark Tank stars Robert Herjavec, Mark Cuban, and Kevin O’Leary (also known as Mr. Wonderful) recently visited our NYC studio to reveal the contents of their wallets. Ever wondered what a millionaire carries in their wallet, if they carry one at all? Herjavec, jokingly taking a dig at O'Leary, shared that he doesn't carry a wallet because it feels bulky, preferring a sleek appearance and the way his suits fit.
O'Leary, in contrast, places a high value on his wallet and what it holds. "Inside my wallet, I have a collection of items that I take great pride in. It serves as a representation of my identity, and I feel confident when I have it with me," he expressed.
On the other hand, Cuban chooses not to carry a wallet but instead carries gift cards for unconventional places such as IHOP and 7-Eleven. Additionally, he possesses some unexpected superstitions that influence both his business and personal life. "I consider myself to be incredibly superstitious. You won't find anyone more prone to 'stupid-stitious' beliefs than me," he revealed to Us.

“I used to have a wallet,” Cuban divulged to Us. “But now, I simply store everything in my phone.” Within his phone case, the Dallas Mavericks owner securely keeps his credit cards, Mavericks access pass, and $300 in emergency cash.

International Spender
O'Leary, unlike Herjavec, has no qualms about enriching his wallet with credit cards from around the world.
"I appear impressive, and the thickness of my wallet is of no concern to me," he declared. "In fact, as a citizen of three different nations, I require credit cards from each."
O'Leary proceeded to showcase credit cards that are functional in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Switzerland. Herjavec inquired, "Are you trying to avoid capture?" O'Leary responded, "Yes, occasionally..."
"I exclusively use Prada," O'Leary disclosed while displaying his Prada wallet. "I have no affiliation with them, no ownership in the company, but I have concluded over time that their products, including their shoes, suit me perfectly."
Herjavec disclosed that he always carries $40 to $100 in cash for gratuities, leading to a conversation about the significance of tipping with cash.
"When it comes to showing appreciation for your server, the most effective approach is gifting them cash," O'Leary suggested. "Cash holds its value."
Millionaires Still Love Gift Cards & Costco
Cuban may have a net worth of over $5.1 billion, but he still carries around gift cards to his favorite stores and fast food joints.
“Gift cards from IHOP and 7-Eleven are constantly being purchased for me,” Cuban enthusiastically revealed, highlighting his fondness for the popular pancake establishment. “Along with those, I also receive the typical Amazon gift cards.”

Herjavec and O'Leary proudly admitted to being members of Costco, despite sarcastically questioning the concept of a discount card. "I absolutely adore Costco!" Herjavec exclaimed. O'Leary chimed in, saying, "I possess a Costco card and my goal is to save as much as possible! Their business model is incredibly resourceful, as they generate a substantial portion of their revenue through membership fees. Additionally, they provide exceptional value, making them an outstanding company in my opinion."
O'Leary understands the value of a good luck charm and always carries his fortunate Montblanc pen with him. He believes that this pen has been instrumental in signing numerous successful deals and hence, whenever he needs to sign another one, he ensures he has his trusted pen with him.
Cuban, however, is highly superstitious despite not carrying a good luck charm. He revealed, "When attending a Mavs game, I always wear the same outfit I wore when we last won. I keep the shoes, take the same route, and even stick to the same drink."
Herjavec, on the other hand, has a contrasting perspective. He stated, "I believe that one creates their own luck in life. I choose to carry memories, especially those of my children and family, as my source of positivity."
