Mark Cuban is getting into the drug biz. The owner of the Dallas Mavericks and investor on the show “Shark Tank” has launched a generic drug company, the
Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, which says it’s dedicated to producing low-cost versions of high-cost generic drugs.
They also pledge to “provide radical transparency” in the way their drugs are priced. The Cost Plus company will publish costs to manufacture, distribute and market drugs to pharmacies. “We add a flat 15% margin to get out wholesale prices. There are no hidden costs, no middlemen, no rebates only available to insurance companies,” their website explains. “Everybody gets the same low price for every drug we make.”

A recent
FiercePharmaarticle discussed the newest business venture for billionaire serial entrepreneur and investor. Cuban is probably best known as the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and tv personality on Shark Tank where he and a panel of other investors listen to startups pitches and decide whether or not to invest. Cuban’s new company is called Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs, and it touts itself as providing “radically transparent, low cost versions of high cost generic drugs.”
Consistent with the message of transparency, Cuban says the company will disclose the cost of development and distribution for each of its products and then add a 15% margin to arrive at a wholesale price. The company’s first product will be albendazole, an antiparasitic with an average cash price of $225 per tablet, that Cost Plus will sell at $20 per tablet. Cuban is building a manufacturing facility in Dallas, and plans to be marketing more than 100 drugs by the end of 2021.
