 Mo Money: Charity begins at home. Or in Iraq as is the case with Marc Cuban, the Jewish billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks. In conjunction with Bank of America, Cuban has set up the Fallen Patriot Fund established to help families of U.S. military personnel who were killed or seriously injured during Operation Iraqi Freedom. "Now is a good time to take steps to support our troops," says Cuban. "I encourage everyone to support our fallen heroes and find their closest Bank of America banking center and truly show their support." Cuban, who has agreed to match all donations up to $1 million, became wildly wealthy in the mid 1990's when he sold his company, Broadcast.com, to Yahoo! for $10 billion. And he's only giving a million to tzedakah?
