News report: “Mark Cuban, outspoken owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was fined $250,000 by the league Tuesday for ‘several acts of misconduct’ following his team’s Game 5 loss in the NBA Finals on Sunday in Miami.”

Mark Cuban is worth an estimated $2 billion. That’s “B” for billion. $250,000 to Mark Cuban has about the same relative value as $125 would have for someone worth only $1 million, or 12 dollars and fifty cents would to someone worth $100,000.
