Billionaire Mark Cuban amassed his fortune in several ways: a savvy bet on the early internet, cryptocurrencies, and even owning a professional sports team.

He plays Philippe, the top royal in the fictional European nation of Caminelle, where his son, Prince Alex, is in line for the throne. Instead, Alex, played by sports announcer Alex Day, flees to Long Island, applies for work at a winery, and falls in love with a woman who isn'taware of his past. «Mark Cuban is considered a bit of American royalty, so it's really fun to have him playing King Philippe in my latest holiday film,” said the film's writer and director, Candice Cain.
