Real estate maven Barbara Corcoran teaches you what it takes to swim with the sharks.
Recommendation
Real estate maven Barbara Corcoran is the founder of The Corcoran Group and a “shark” investor on TV’s Shark Tank. Her tale of humble beginnings, growing up as one of her family’s 10 children in Edgewater, New Jersey, is laugh-out-loud entertaining, with a motley cast of relatives and their hijinks. Her mother was compassionate and shrewd, and her inventive father was full of fun. Her family life prepared Corcoran for survival in a cutthroat world. She traces her success from her first $1,000 investment in her business to the top of the heap in New York City real estate. Shark Tank fans will appreciate the inside scoop on the show. Her juicy anecdotes, including her dealings with then-developer Donald Trump, are riveting, and her career path is instructive.
