Barbara Corcoran’s Family Of Shark Investors
Sharing her thoughts regarding fifteen years of Shark Tank, in a 2024 Instagram post, Barbara exclaimed ‘What a ride it’s been.’ She added that over the years, all of the Shark investors had collectively become a ‘dysfunctional family.’ Barbara then expressed heartwarming notes for her fellow Sharks.
The Shark investor began her emotional tribute with Mark Cuban. Calling him the ‘big brother’ all the panelists look up to, Barbara stressed his quality of tech expertise. Additionally, she described Mark as a visionary investor who has an infectious energy. Barbara also said that he is her human calculator who helps her with numbers on set.
The second Shark on Barbara’s list was Robert Herjavec. She said that Robert is an energetic and cheerful ‘kid brother’ who has a ‘heart of gold.’ Barbara admired his quality of assisting entrepreneurs in finding their niche.
After this, Barbara talked about ‘the middle child of the group’ – Lori Greiner. She threw light on Lori’s abilities as a peacemaker who brings a balance to the intense Shark Tank negotiations. Barbara also appreciated the QVC queen’s nose for ‘winner’ products.
The next Shark investor, as described by Barbara Corcoran, was the ‘family’s favorite’ – Daymond John. Barbara felt that Daymond is not just a Shark but also a mentor and a friend for all entrepreneurs appearing on Shark Tank. She also revealed that Daymond John has got the best dance moves among the Sharks.
Finally, Barbara Corcoran ended her notes for her fellow Sharks by stating that ‘all roads lead back to Mr. Wonderful’ – the famous Kevin O’Leary line on the show. Describing him as a ‘resident bully,’ Barbara briefly talked about his ‘sharp tactic.’
However, she also emphasized that beneath the tough exterior, Kevin has a sharp business mind. Additionally, she joked about his famous watch collection.
Once her emotional tribute for fellow Shark investors ended, Barbara Corcoran talked about herself. She said that while she was not sure about her exact role in the ‘dysfunctional family,’ she is ‘snug as a bug’ claiming it as her own.
In the final line of the caption, Barbara accepted that each of them has had differences on the show. However, regardless of what happened on the Shark Tank sets, they have become a ‘close-knit and formidable team’ for the past 15 years.
