  2. Mark had displayed entrepreneurial spirit from a very young age. When he was 12 years old, he used to sell garbage bags to arrange enough money to buy a pair of basketball shoes. Later on, he had also rare stamps and coins for his pocket money.
  3. When he was 16 years old, there was a strike at Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the most widely circulated newspaper in his region. He took advantage of the situation and had started a temporary business of running newspapers from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.
  4. He had mentioned in an interview that he had chosen to join the Kelley School of Business without knowing anything about its campus and details of its courses as the institution had the lowest fee out of all the ‘Top10’ business schools in the United States.
  5. In 2017, he had been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm caused by the irregular beating of atrial chambers. He had undergone a procedure in April 2019 to treat the same.

He was able to do this by removing the middleman in the prescription drug industry and working directly with drug manufacturers.
