It's infamous as possibly the worst deal of all time.
Basically Mark Cuban had a company that provided "radio, but on the internet". Yahoo bought it for $5 billion at the height of the dot-com bubble. The business was essentially worthless, and Yahoo was forced to write it off a couple years later.
Cuban sold all the Yahoo stock he received, bought the Dallas Mavericks, and has been living his best life ever since.
Surprisingly easier than I thought. I knew a few off the bat and managed to work out all but four of the others. The four I missed (Sprint, XM, Kinko’s and Nabisco), I had never heard of the company given, or didn't know what they did, which makes it kinda hard.

Needless to say, I’m not American.
Nice idea for a quiz though.
But Netflix comes out of this looking great. They bid up the price and then backed out letting Paramount overpay.
"Congratulations on saying the higher number".
