The pitch was compelling, and Yim became the first “Shark Tank” entrepreneur to pull in all five Sharks into a joint investment. Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, Daymond John, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec pooled together a $1 million investment for a 30% stake, which valued Yim's company at $3.3 million.

Over more than a decade on ABC's "Shark Tank," billionaire Mark Cuban has seen his share of good investments — and bad ones. Last week, Cuban told the "Full Send" podcast that after investing nearly $20 million in 85 startups on "Shark Tank," he's taken a net loss across all of those deals combined. He tells CNBC Make It that the loss is only "on a cash basis" to this point, and doesn't account for the fact that he hasn't yet exited many of those investments: "I haven't gotten out more than I have put in. But that doesn't account for all the ongoing, operating businesses and their valuations." On the podcast, Cuban shared the worst investment deal he's ever made on the TV show: the Breathometer. In 2013, an entrepreneur named Charles Michael Yim went on "Shark Tank" to pitch his product, the Breathometer, as "the world's first smartphone breathalyzer." Yim wowed Cuban and the other Sharks by showing off a smartphone attachment that he claimed could accurately measure blood alcohol content (BAC). Yim's gave the Sharks glasses of champagne, and then had them blow into a small, plastic device that could attach to a smartphone. Yim claimed the device could send BAC level readings to your phone, and gave you the option of calling a cab with the touch of a button if your BAC level was too high. The pitch was compelling, and Yim became the first "Shark Tank" entrepreneur to pull in all five Sharks into a joint investment. Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, Daymond John, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec pooled together a $1 million investment for a 30% stake, which valued Yim's company at $3.3 million. "It was a great product," Cuban said last week. "But, the guy – Charles – I'd look at his Instagram and he'd be in Bora Bora ... Two weeks later, he'd been in [Las] Vegas partying, and then he'd be on Necker Island with Richard Branson." "I'd text him, like 'What the f--- are you doing? You're supposed to be working,'" Cuban said. According to Cuban's recollection, Yim would reply that he was "networking" on behalf of the business. Cuban said the excuse didn't quite hold up: "Next thing you know, all of the money's gone." By 2016, Yim was transitioning away from the Breathometer, partnering with health care giant Philips on a product called Mint that measured levels of sulfur compounds in your mouth to determine whether or not you had bad breath. In January 2017, the Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint against Yim and Breathometer, alleging that the company misled its customers about the product's ability to accurately measure BAC. According to the FTC, Breathometer "lacked scientific evidence to back up their advertising claims." That same month, Breathometer reached a settlement with the FTC over that complaint, forcing the company to notify and fully refund every customer who'd bought a device. According to the FTC, the company never performed adequate testing despite claiming that its products were backed by "government-lab grade testing." "That was my biggest beating," Cuban said.

Elon Musk can add a new title to his resume: Guinness World Record holder. The "Technoking" of Tesla made it into the record books thanks to an abysmal 2022 which saw his fortune shrink by $182 billion, the organization announced Friday in a release that cited data from Forbes. Guinness noted that although "the exact figure [of Musk's loss] is almost impossible to ascertain," with some outlets estimating that he lost more than $200 billion, the Twitter owner demolished the previous record: a $58.6 billion loss by Japanese investor Masayoshi Son in 2000. Musk's shrinking fortune was largely due to the steep slide of Tesla shares, which lost roughly 65% of their value during the company's worst year on record. The loss was enough to knock him off his perch as the richest man in the world — a title now held by luxury goods magnate Bernard Arnault. Of course, Musk isn't the only billionaire whose fortune took a hit in 2022. American billionaires collectively lost $660 billion last year, CNBC Make It previously reported.
