Todd Wagner is an American entrepreneur known for building Broadcast.com with Mark Cuban and later expanding into film, TV, sports, and online giving. He started AudioNet in 1995 as a way to stream live sports and radio over the internet. The company widened into corporate events and business services, changed its name to Broadcast.com in 1998, and became one of the best-known internet media businesses of its era.
His wealth came from the 1999 sale of Broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7 billion. Forbes says he later stayed active in media and entertainment through ventures with Cuban, including Magnolia Pictures, AXS TV, and the Dallas Mavericks. Wagner also founded Charity Network and runs it as an online fundraising platform. Since its start in 2014, the business has raised over $650 million for charity, adding another major piece to his career.
How Todd Wagner built his fortune
Wagner first made his name by helping create a large online media business before internet video became common. As CEO of AudioNet, he grew the company from live sports and radio streams into a broader business that also handled corporate events and services. In 1998, the company became Broadcast.com and went public. Its debut drew major attention when the stock jumped 249% from $18 to $62.75 on its opening day.
The biggest money event came in 1999, when Yahoo bought Broadcast.com for $5.7 billion. Forbes notes that the deal pushed Wagner and Cuban into the billionaire ranks and also made 300 employees millionaires. Forbes also says Wagner protected his shares with put options during the dot-com crash. After that, he kept investing with Cuban in Magnolia Pictures, AXS TV, and the Dallas Mavericks, before selling his Mavericks stake in December 2023.
