Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks owner, has officially left 'Shark Tank' after 16 seasons, with his final episode airing on May 16, 2025. Cuban stated that he departed primarily to spend more time with his teenage children, as the show's filming schedule conflicted with family time. During his 15-year tenure, he made pivotal investments in brands like Dude Wipes and Mush, contributing to their substantial growth. His farewell episode included a montage of memorable moments and tributes from fellow sharks, underscoring his influence on the show's culture and American entrepreneurship. Cuban said he will miss the camaraderie with the crew and fellow sharks most. After 'Shark Tank,' he remains active in business, notably with Cost Plus Drugs, and continues his political engagement.
