Real Estate icon Barbara Corcoran was just shy of her thirtieth birthday when she started The Corcoran Group on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Today Corcoran is best known for her no-nonsense approach to mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs on ABC’s Shark Tank. She says she has invested in 30 companies pitched on Shark Tank so far, and another 40 ventures not on the show. In person, Corcoran is vibrant, benevolent and impeccably dressed. When everyone takes a break from filming on the Shark Tank set, Corcoran sticks around to shake hands with visitors and learn about what they do.
