Shark Tank's Greatest Gift to Contestants Isn't Money, Barbara Corcoran Says

Celebs - By on

When entrepreneurs go on "Shark Tank," of course they're looking for the financial backing—but Barbara Corcoran reveals another gift the show offers. 

"I thought I had seen it all, but this year, we actually had tremendously young entrepreneurs on—and every single one said 'I've been watching you since I was a kid,' [which] made me realize the gift of my position. I realized as they said to me, 'We believed in ourselves...we decided to take a chance...I quit my job because...' that they kept mentioning 'Shark Tank.' So, I felt like I helped them changed their lives. This is more than giving money," says Barbara.
