Barbara Corcoran

Real Estate Mogul, THE CORCORAN GROUP & Successful Entrepreneur, Star of ABC's hit show SHARK TANK

Barbara Corcoran's credentials include straight D's in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three. It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she took a $1000 loan to start The Corcoran Group. She parlayed that loan into a five-billion-dollar real estate business which she sold in 2001 for $70 million.

Barbara is the real estate contributor to NBC's TODAY Show where she comments weekly on trends in the real estate market. Barbara is also an investor/shark on ABC's reality hit Shark Tank. In the first season, Barbara bought eight young businesses which she's shepherding to success.

Barbara is the author of If You Don't Have Big Breasts, Put Ribbons on Your Pigtails, an entertaining business book that has become a national best-seller, as well as Nextville, Amazing Places to Live the Rest of Your Life.
