On Shark Tank viewers have witnessed several interesting yet often times weird products. But when it comes to investing in such products, Kevin O’Leary aka Mr. Wonderful would be the toughest to please. The venture capitalist is known for his blunt and serious demeanor, who’s not at all afraid to ask tough questions. Most times his decision about a particular product is spot on.

But during one Shark Tank pitch, he missed investing in a product for cats that went on to earn millions in sales. While it was a missed opportunity for O’Leary, it became a success story for Kevin Harrington, who eventually invested in the product.

Kevin O’Leary and Mark Cuban had their claws out during one of Shark Tank’s most jaw-dropping pitches. The entrepreneur strolled in, confident and ready to revolutionize energy—forever. His claim? A machine that produced endless energy and, oh yeah, literal gold. The sharks were intrigued… for about five seconds.

Then came the eyebrow raises, the sarcasm, and Cuban’s biting wit. The pitch spiraled into sci-fi territory faster than you could say “investment,” leaving the panel in disbelief. O’Leary delivered a deadpan punchline, and Cuban’s one-liner sealed the deal. This pitch didn’t just tank; it became instant Shark Tank legend.

Mark Cuban and Kevin O’Leary took one look at a certain Shark Tank pitch and hit the brakes hard. They were convinced it was a flop in the making. But Lori Greiner? She saw gold where others saw a dud. That “dud” turned into her greatest win in Shark Tank history, raking in an excellent $926M in sales.

While Cuban and O’Leary were out, Lori was all-in—and the rest is business legend. Funny how one moment of doubt can lead to one of the show’s biggest mic-drop moments!

Mark Cuban has currently taken a political hiatus from social media after Donald Trump won the 2024 Presidential elections, defeating Democratic party nominee Kamala Harris. Cuban, who was a big supporter of Harris, also deleted his pro-Harris tweets days after her defeat, raising everyone’s eyebrows. While the public is definitely entertained by all the latest happenings around Trump, his feud with the Shark Tank judge goes way back.

In 2016, when Trump was running for President for the first time, Cuban detailed that during the Presidential debate, one of his family members literally rolled their eyes.

While the Shark Tank judges are often known for throwing fits over ambitious investment seekers, this wasn’t the case when siblings Christian, Keira, and Kaley Young appeared in season 10 of the show. Not only did the trio succeed in getting funding for their heroic father’s invention, but they left the judges sobbing by the end of their pitch.

The story of Keith Young, the firefighter behind the product, who tragically passed away just months before the presentation, shattered everyone’s heart, which pushed Mark Cuban and his fellow Sharks to make a historic deal.

Turns out, the biggest Shark Tank success story didn’t need Mark Cuban’s courtside vibes or Kevin O’Leary’s money talk. Nope, the title goes to a Daymond John-backed sensation that swam past every prediction, racking up an excellent $1.3B in sales.

While other Sharks battled over tech toys and quirky gadgets, John saw the potential in comfort and a killer cause. His push turned a sock pitch into the ultimate Shark Tank triumph, leaving the rest of the Sharks trailing.

Ten years ago, Shark Tank viewers watched David Heath and Randy Goldberg pitch Bombas—a sock brand with heart. Their mission? For every pair sold, donate one to someone in need. But the sharks weren’t convinced. Mark Cuban passed.

The internet thrives on shock value, and content that pushes boundaries often garners attention. Meet Hawk Tuah—a meme so bizarre, it’s practically the internet’s new favorite child. But don’t worry; this seems like it’s not just some passing trend. It’s a full-fledged phenomenon. So what happened? Well, a viral YouTube video, a street interview, and a phrase that sounds like an outburst of spit—literally!

For those still trying to wrap their heads around it, allow us to break it down: in a 2024 street interview, Haliey Welch coined the now-infamous phrase “hawk tuah”. If you’re wondering what it means—well, it’s not the kind of phrase you casually drop at a Sunday brunch. And of course, it caught on like wildfire.

In the history of Shark Tank, many deals have forced venture capitalists to team up together to make larger investments. However, one deal that caught the attention of billionaire Mark Cuban was swooped in from right under his nose when he refused to partner with one guest star. The star was none other than Richard Branson, who wanted to partner up with Cuban to invest in the skateboard company Locker board.

Founded by a 12-year-old boy, Locker Board brought a unique concept to Shark Tank, and the investors were keen on spending thousands of dollars on his company. While Cuban made him a great deal, he chose Branson to invest in his company.

Mark Cuban is a name that rings a bell for just about everyone. With a whopping net worth of $6.2 billion, he’s not just any Shark, in fact he’s the richest one in the tank! But to be very honest, Cuban’s journey to the top hasn’t always been a smooth sailing. Like any great entrepreneur, he’s had his fair share of wins and losses. Even on Shark Tank, not every deal has been a money-maker.

The internet and social media right now is buzzing with a very bizarre story that makes me fume, and feel helpless and disappointed at the same time. The story reached to me via some random social media account while scrolling that Shweta Tiwari has been married for the third time!

Yes, the very woman who has never shied away from the media to talk about the wrong choices she took in her life, who was courageous enough to talk about two failed marriages and raising two kids without their fathers as a single mom and the very woman who was unapologetic about her choices and decisions.

For the unversed, recently, the internet is flooded with pictures, in fact let us be specific – Morphed Pictures of Shweta Tiwari, with her co-star and close friend Vishal Aditya Singh.

This Shark Tank Indian Judge Went Bankrupt During His Early 20s (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Shark Tank India premiered in 2021 and became an instant hit. Whether it was Ashneer Grover’s ‘doglapan’ or Namita Thapar’s patent dialogue, the show enjoyed massive buzz on the internet. Apart from the entertainment factor, the experienced entrepreneurs on the panel have had remarkable success stories. Do you know one of them went bankrupt in 2000 but worked hard to change their fate in two decades? Scroll below for details!

Season 1 featured Namita Thapar, Ashneer Grover, Anupam Mittal, Aman Gupta, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, and Ghazal Alagh on the panel. Amid the BharatPe controversy, Ashneer exited the show. Amit Jain, Azhar Iqubal, Deepinder Goyal, Radhika Gupta, Ronnie Screwvala, Ritesh Agarwal, and Varun Dua were welcomed in the following seasons. Shark Tank India has had three editions so far. It is featured on SonyLIV and Sony TV.

Lori Greiner found herself outpaced in a Shark Tank bidding war when billionaire Mark Cuban went all in over what he called a ‘10-year-old dinosaur.’ The heated exchange unfolded as the sharks vied for a promising business idea, with Cuban’s $6.5B net worth giving him an undeniable edge.

Greiner, known for her savvy deals and sharp instincts, couldn’t match the aggressive offer Cuban put on the table. Despite her attempts to stay in the game, Cuban’s strategic bid showcased why he remains a dominant force in the tank. In the end, it was Cuban who sealed the deal.

Kevin O’Leary is known for his no-nonsense attitude on Shark Tank and his blunt responses when it comes to political issues in the outside world. It’s because of this demeanor of his that many times he’s also been hailed as the most hated judge on the reality show. However, O’Leary is least bothered about the same and is good as far as his friends and family are happy with him.

Shark Tank is a perfect place for startups and young entrepreneurs to showcase their skills and products. While some of them create a great impression on the judges, others fail to capture their intrigue. One such product was Amber, designed with an intention to make charging phones in public places easier. The product had the capacity to fetch a good investment, but the pitch made by co-founders Bill Shuey and Kyle Byrd failed to convince the “Sharks.”

So, much so that more than the investment it became a laughing point for the judges. Even Mark Cuban who’s known to invest in risky projects bowed out after Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner and Daymond John called it one of the worst pitches in Shark Tank history.

When Mark Cuban decided to hang up his Shark Tank fins, it sent waves through the show’s die-hard fans and his fellow Sharks. But one Shark couldn’t just watch Cuban swim away—someone who understood that his larger-than-life personality and no-nonsense grit were irreplaceable. This Shark made it their personal mission to change his mind, giving it one last shot to make Cuban reconsider his exit.

It was a heartfelt moment in the tank that showed it’s not just about investments and valuations—it’s about the wild mix of personalities that keep us glued to every pitch. Cuban leaving might mean a shakeup, but some Sharks weren’t ready to see the waters without him.

In his stint as a judge on Shark Tank, billionaire Mark Cuban has made several deals that have gone to bring in great revenues for him. From Nuts ‘N Things to Ten Thirty Productions, the venture capitalist surely knows how to strike a great business. But more than this, he is always looking out for a good presentation as well as how much confidence the entrepreneurs have in their businesses.

He did the same when a company named Coffee Meets Bagel, founded by three sisters, came on the show. While all the judges were impressed by what they had to offer, their business model just didn’t make any sense as the company was actually losing money.

One by one, each of them backed out from investing except Mark Cuban, who offered the sister’s a huge sum of money to buy their business.

Mark Cuban has been a fan favorite since he entered the reality show Shark Tank in the second season. While in this he had a guest cameo, but his presence was so well received that the makers decided to make him a series regular from the third season. Throughout the show as well as outside, Cuban has detailed several times as to why he likes to be a part of the show.

Mark Cuban in a still from Shark Tank | Credits: Hulu

He has always showcased his willingness to teach business to the younger generations and keep the American dream alive. So, money is not a big factor for him, as he’s not only the richest “Shark” on the show, but also has a business empire worth billions.

In an interview, he also detailed his main motive for participating in Shark Tank, and the huge paycheck is definitely not his reason.

Mark Cuban is in hot water again. This time, it’s over comments he made as a guest on The View. The comments are bad enough that viewers are threatening to boycott Shark Tank. So, what did Cuban say that is causing such a stir?

Mark Cuban Is No Stranger To Controversy

Mark Cuban is one of the most recognized people on the planet. Even before he took a seat as part of the panel on Shark Tank, most people knew who he was. For many years, he was also the vocal majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, often seen sitting courtside during games.

When Mark Cuban waded into the choppy waters of political commentary, even he might not have predicted the backlash storm he’d face over one Donald Trump-inspired comment. Accusing Trump of needing to man up, Cuban’s words sparked debates that went far beyond the billionaire’s usual business domain.

Suddenly, social media was ablaze with people asking if sexism was just a buzzword tossed around when politically convenient—or if it was time both sides owned up to double standards. Cuban’s remark has reignited a decades-old discussion: is holding leaders accountable truly equal across the aisle, or is it, as many suggest, a card played depending on who’s dealing?

Kevin O’Leary, aka “Mr. Wonderful,” has earned a lot of praise for his remarkable stint on Shark Tank.

Facing Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, Cuban didn’t hold back on his competitive spirit or his language. His choice words during the match landed him a $15,000 fine, but rather than back down, Cuban doubled it to $30,000, all for charity.

While the judge admired his resilience, Bell wasn’t successful in his endeavor to incorporate Cuban in his business venture, but fortunately, Daymond John, alongside guest investor Rashaun William was on board with his pitch.

Despite being one of the most shrewd businessmen on the panel, O’Leary isn’t immune to bad investments.

ABC’s Reality Television show, Shark Tank quickly gained popularity among the audience due to its unique premise. The show featured some prominent businessmen as the judging panel or sharks, who oversaw start-up ideas and small businesses to potentially invest in.

The series hosted some of the most well-known names in the market, and the sharks changed over the seasons. Most of the judges were successful business owners or investors, but some were richer compared to others. Out of several judges, only a handful had a superior standard of living when their houses were compared.

Barbara Corcoran

Barbara Corcoran was the former founder of The Corcoran Group, a real estate brokerage in New York City, which she later sold to Nrt. The recurring shark had an impressive track record as a businesswoman and investor, which was reflected by her massive penthouse.

Few television shows have changed lives the way Shark Tank has over the years. The program has given entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their ideas in front of multiple successful businesspeople with the hopes of finding investors who believe in them. Some of these items get large offers and make it big. Others might not get a dime, but they still get the exposure. Plenty of household names were once featured on the show. One of the “sharks” is Lori Greiner, aka the Queen of QVC. During one episode, Greiner invested in a product that’s now seen in stores around the globe. What’s even more amazing is Greiner and the entrepreneur she believed in are still close.

Shark Tank Season 16 marks the final run for Mark Cuban, which marks an end to a 15-year-long stretch for the billionaire investor, but are any other Sharks on the way out? For now, the show still boasts its four remaining originals — Daymond John, Barbara Corcoran, Robert Herjavec, and Kevin O’Leary — and they aren’t showing any signs of stepping down just yet. When asked by TV Insider if he had any thoughts of retiring from the ABC show anytime soon, O’Leary, 70, revealed why the answer is decidedly no. “I really found, for me, that Shark Tank has become a passport internationally. I do a lot of work in the Middle East and Switzerland and France and England, and we’re the ambassadors to the American dream. That’s what we are. And we’re known all around the world,” he explained. “I’m the most hated guy in Austria.

Shark Tank was instrumental in introducing a fresh concept into the reality TV landscape. Mixing entrepreneurship with entertainment, Shark Tank has amassed a huge viewership and has won 5 Primetime Emmys to date. While all the star investors, popularly known as Sharks contributed to the show’s success, it was Mark Cuban who assured its survival.

Mark Cuban joined Shark Tank Season 2 as a guest investor in 2011, before becoming a series regular from the third season.

On Friday (October 18), Shark Tank returns for its 16th season on ABC, and as Mark Cuban finishes out his celebrated tenure as Shark, he’s going out with a bang — that is, a product that he’s particularly excited about. “This season, I had one deal, and I wish I could give you all the details, but I think it literally has a chance to be the toy of the summer,” Cuban told TV Insider. “It uses [kids’] minds, dexterity, creativity — it takes something that you can’t wait to get rid of and utilizes it in a play situation. So it’s going to be great.” For Cuban, the product at hand in any given pitch is the very first priority. “I want to see a product that makes me say, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Because then my mind starts churning on ways I can sell it or make it profitable,...

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" "What is?" "The day." Mubi has revealed their trailer for an indie film called Bird, the latest feature written and directed by the award-winning filmmaker Andrea Arnold. It premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in the Main Competition this year, but didn't take home any awards. Reviews were mixed but fairly positive. Bailey lives with her brother Hunter and her father Bug, who raises them alone in a squat in northern Kent. Bug doesn't have much time to devote to them. So Bailey looks for attention and adventure elsewhere, eventually meeting a strange man named "Bird" with whom she builds a connection with. A tender, striking, distinctly surprising coming-of-age fable from Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold, starring Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski, and newcomer Nykiya Adams as Bailey. Arriving in theaters in the US, Canada, UK & Ireland from November 8th this fall - and streaming eventually on Mubi.

Barbara Corcoran, a name synonymous with entrepreneurship and success, has carved out a niche for herself not just as a real estate mogul but also as a revered investor on ABC’s hit show, Shark Tank.

Shark Tank has seen a lot of influential and simply unparalleled ideas, and businessman cum investor Daymond John has been credited with scoring quite a few of those star-studded deals himself. One of the most respected investors in the reality show, he is also the founder of The Shark Group, so he has been commended for diving into some genuinely plausible investments.

That said, one of his rumored investments just may be able to pay off to establish him as a true legend on the ABC series: The EVP bags. Though this reported investment in the genius idea goes back nearly a decade, it seems like his rumored deed back then just may pay off immensely now, as Hurricane Helene and the incoming Hurricane Milton get ready to hit Florida.

When it comes to investing tens and thousands of dollars out of your own pocket in someone, you wouldn’t really go with your gut feeling and would rather stick to statistics and results. However, Shark Tank’s Daymond John works a bit differently. For him, a person’s pitch and their company’s success matter little when his gut tells him to go for it.

Doing so, he has invested in some really successful companies over his years in the business. He also owns Fubu, which once began as a clothing company for young men but now has a variety of options for women as well. Considering the fact that he went from investing $40 in his brand to making it a $6 billion company, we believe his idea of doing deals in Shark Tank really isn’t too bad.

Why Daymond John Listens...

Mark Cuban raised massive headlines when he declared that the upcoming 16th season of Shark Tank would be his last. The Dallas Mavericks owner has been one of the significant contributors to the reality show’s popularity. While Cuban made many iconic investments during the show’s run, the billionaire can never stop regretting not investing in The Bouqs Company.

The Bouqs Company made an appearance during the fifth season of Shark Tank. This was a unique startup as they provided flower delivery services. Although it failed to catch the attention of the Sharks then, The Bouqs Company is a huge name now.

Startups are on the rise today with budding entrepreneurs bringing their top business ideas out in the open. For this Shark Tank would be the most ideal place, where they get to showcase their products in front of five “Sharks.” But out of these five venture capitalists, Mark Cuban can easily be the most popular judge on the show.

Throughout his life, Cuban has always believed in hard work and for him there is no room for distractions. And when the billionaire businessman saw one startup owner, being distracted in a lavish party instead of his business commitments, he did not hold his words back.

Shark Tank judge Kevin O’Leary has often been criticized for throwing fits over investment seekers and losing his cool during his tenure on the show. But on top of being a polarizing figure among fans of Shark Tank, O’Leary is also notable for dishing out financial advice on a regular in his socials.

A month ago, taking to his Ig, the Canadian businessman delivered one more money-saving advice, and while it did rub some in the wrong way, O’Leary wasn’t completely wrong with his assessment.

Over the years, Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary has become rather controversial because of his views. Although the investor has become one of the most feared Sharks apart from Mark Cuban on the show, some of his statements have left fans feeling a little weary about his stances. Apart from his public advice for young couples to keep their money separate, the 70-year-old also seems to have some iffy opinions on lending money to his only relatives and family.

In fact, O’Leary might be ready to lend a helping hand to his close connections. However, he has one simple rule that he strictly follows that has come off as snobby to everyone else who has heard it.

Daymond John, the $350M rich Shark Tank powerhouse, stirred the pot when he declared that college isn’t a necessity for success. While his take resonated with many aspiring entrepreneurs, it was often taken out of context. Sure, John’s rags-to-riches story—starting Fubu in his mother’s basement—drove home the point that drive and hustle can outshine a degree. But he never dismissed education entirely; he emphasized the importance of learning and growth.

His advice? College might not be for everyone, but it can offer invaluable skills and networking opportunities. So, while John’s words sparked debate, it was crucial to remember his full message about balancing experience with education. In the world of business, context’s everything!
