达拉斯小牛队的老板马克库班正在享受约翰尼罗斯的时刻。
根据最新的人口普查数据，这位亿万富翁刚刚买下了德克萨斯州的整个穆斯坦镇——在 I-45 州际公路附近的地图上，这里有 21 人的人口。
原因，库班告诉达拉斯晨报：一个哥们需要卖掉它。
“我不知道我会用它做什么，”库班告诉该报。 （如果库班发现自己在“Schitt's Creek”中运气不佳，很高兴知道他将拥有自己的小村庄和一群滑稽的市民来接纳他。）
野马几乎是古巴人的一块 77 英亩的空白画布。
据该报报道，该镇成立于 1970 年代初，当时它主要被称为当地干燥的纳瓦罗县的一个水坑。如今，只有一个拖车公园和一个脱衣舞俱乐部 Wispers Cabaret，据报道它年久失修。周五，谷歌地图显示俱乐部的名称已被编辑为“马克·库布雷特”。
达拉斯房地产经纪人迈克特纳告诉早间新闻，该镇的一个池塘里还有一只“常驻鳄鱼”。
附近的景点？好吧，您在向北行驶约 45 分钟即可到达达拉斯。喜欢邪教传说的历史爱好者会很高兴地发现韦科市距离 Mustang 西南仅一个多小时车程。距离 Wispers 仅两英里，有“纳瓦罗县第一个也是唯一的葡萄园和酿酒厂”，Angelita（老实说看起来超级可爱）。
目前尚不清楚库班为这座城镇付出了多少，但对于拥有近 60 亿美元净资产的人来说，这几乎可以肯定是一次偷窃。据报道，该镇在 2017 年以 400 万美元的价格挂牌出售，但特纳表示，即使他们将挂牌价减半，该镇也被高估了。
Mark Cuban buys a small town in Texas, just because
Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, is having a Johnny Rose moment.
The billionaire just bought the entire town of Mustang, Texas — a blip on the map off I-45, with a population of 21 people, according to the latest census data.
The reason, Cuban told the Dallas Morning News: A buddy needed to sell it.
"I don't know what if anything I will do with it," Cuban told the paper. (Should Cuban find himself down on his luck a la "Schitt's Creek," though, it's nice to know he'll have his own hamlet and a zany group of townsfolk to take him in.)
Mustang is pretty much a 77-acre blank canvas for Cuban.
The town was founded in the early 1970s, when it was known mostly as a local watering hole in an otherwise dry Navarro County, according to the paper. These days, there's little more than a trailer park and a strip club, Wispers Cabaret, which is reportedly in disrepair. On Friday, Google Maps showed the name of the club had been edited to "Mark Cubaret."
The town also features a "resident alligator" in one its ponds, Dallas real estate broker Mike Turner told the Morning News.
Nearby attractions? Well, you've got Dallas about 45 minutes north. And history buffs with a penchant for cult lore will be pleased to find that the city of Waco is just over an hour's drive southwest of Mustang. And just two miles from Wispers, there's "Navarro County's first and only vineyard and winery," Angelita (which honestly looks super cute).
It's not clear what Cuban paid for the town, but for someone with a net worth of nearly $6 billion, it was almost certainly a steal. The town was reportedly put up for sale in 2017 for $4 million, but Turner said it was overpriced, even when they slashed the listing price in half.
