"Then as I got some money I bought tax free bonds to save on taxes," Cuban said. "I still do that. I also located and funded a company in an opportunity zone. That saved me taxes but you have to spend 2x that amount on the business."

Cuban warned people to be careful with their taxes. 

"I always get audited, it's not worth the risk to try some of the schemes that are out there," he said.
