Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban has proved he has a heart as big as his bank balance, after he flew a young cancer patient to Cincinnati hospital on his private jet.
The Shark Tank star has amassed a great fortune over the years and has looked at giving back some of what he has earned.
He founded the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, which sells lifesaving drugs, but his kindness has gone beyond that.
A recent example was after he flew a young Minnesota girl battling a rare cancer on his luxury private jet after a sad issue with her insurance.

Why Mark Cuban flew the young girl on his private jet
The young girl in question, Stella, needed a lifesaving transfusion at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
However, incredibly, it wasn’t easy for her to get there.
This is because the insurance was denying her coverage for her medical transportation.
That made getting her to the hospital a matter of life and death, and it became a lot more urgent.
After her mother, Alexandria McMahon, posted on TikTok about her plight, Mark Cuban came to the rescue.
In fact, he came to the rescue very quickly, and within 48 hours, he had arranged for Stella to travel on his jet from Minneapolis to Cincinnati and back.
Cuban’s kindness made headline news
McMahon was shocked by the kindness, which was reported by WBAL News.
Cuban’s jet was able to complete the journey, and naturally, the family was incredibly happy.
His jet is a Gulfstream V, but he also has a Boeing 757-256 that is used by the Dallas Mavericks.
In fact, he used the Boeing to fly 32 generators and huge amounts of food to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
Alongside those aircraft, the billionaire also owns a Bombardier Global 6000.
The Boeing is managed by MLW Aviation LLC, and it transports the Dallas Mavericks basketball team around.
While he might have all the money in the world, that hasn’t prevented him from having a big heart.
His latest act was one of the kindest things we’ve seen in a very long time.
