What is the Shark Tank Cast Net Worth: Robert Herjavec?

Robert Herjavec’s family immigrated from Croatia with reportedly no more than $20 in their pockets. While Herjavec began his career in film, he obtained his first job at Logiquest as a salesman by offering to work the first 6 months for free. He supported himself during this period by waiting tables. After being fired from Logiquest in 1990, he founded his own company, Brak system, an internet security software system, and sold it to AT&T for $30.2 million. Though he took a few years off after the sale, Herjavec went on to found Herjavec Group in 2003, one of Canada’s largest internet security provider companies. As of 2013, the company had 150 employees and has now done $500 million in sales. Unfortunately for Robert Herjavec, he also underwent a divorce. As a result, this Shark Tank cast member’s net worth declined from $200 million to around $100 million.

What is the Shark Tank Cast Net Worth: Daymond John?

Daymond John is the founder of FUBU and made his fortune by building a fashion empire. Daymond John was raised by a single mom in New York City. She had to work more than one job to make ends meet. To make himself the clothes he wanted to wear but weren’t available anywhere else, Daymond John asked his mother for a sewing machine and got his start selling what he made. When his hats began to sell well, Daymond John convinced his mother to take out a second mortgage on their home and used the money to found FUBU. FUBU truly rose to fame after Daymond John’s childhood friend, LL Cool J, promoted the clothing. As a result of the success of FUBU,  Shark Tank cast member Daymond John is worth $250 million.

What is the Shark Tank Cast Net Worth: Barbara Corcoran?

Barbara Corcoran is considered the real estate expert among the sharks given that she first started out in business by founding the Corcoran Group in 1973, a real estate business. She went on to escalate her brand by publishing the Corcoran Report, an analysis of real estate data trends in New York City in the mid-1970s. She notes that what the report really accomplished for here was to get her name out. She is a real estate contributor to multiple shows and also acts as a business consultant via her consulting and television production company, Barbara Corcoran Inc. Barbara Corcoran has been a clear winner in the last few years since her net worth has gone up to around $80 million.

What is the Shark Tank Cast Net Worth: Ashton Kutcher?

Ashton Kutcher is not just your average Hollywood pretty boy. In fact, he’s become a savvy investor, founding his venture capital firm, A-Grade Investments. The combined valuation of A-Grade Investments has been estimated to be as much as $150 million, with investments in household names such as Airbnb, Shazam, Path, Flipboard, Foursquare, Uber, Spotify, Fab.com, Soundcloud, Pinterest, Washio, Nextoor, Houzz, and more. Of course, that side gig, acting, doesn’t hurt him either. Ashton Kutcher is said to have earned $750,000 per episode of the hit comedy series Two and a Half Men, which means his paycheck per season has been a cool $18 million. All of that — including his earnings as a Shark Tank cast member — tallies up to a $140 million estimated net worth.

What is the Shark Tank Cast Net Worth: Chris Sacca?

Chris Sacca is one of the more interesting Shark Tank cast members, primarily because his success hasn’t been a simple ascent from rags to riches as seems to have been the case for so many others. Chris Sacca started out as a lawyer, gambling his student loans during law school on the stock market, and turning $20,000 into $12 million. However, his success gave way to failure when the market crashed and Sacca found himself as much as $3 million in debt. Sacca didn’t give up and got a job at a law firm as an associate, but was then let got after a little more than a year. He then supported himself by independent contracting gigs as a lawyer that he secured on Craigslist and Elance and eventually landed a job at Google as a general counsel. He worked there until his shares vested and left in 2007 to found his own venture capital firm, Lowercase Capital. Now, this is where things get interesting. Sacca funded companies such as Twitter, Uber, Instagram, Twilio and Kickstarter. Chris Sacca’s net worth is estimated to be $1.2 billion.

What is the Shark Tank Cast Net Worth: Bethenny Frankel?

Bethenny Frankel is one of the latest entrepreneurs to join the cast of Shark Tank and even though she might not have a fortune that compares to Mark Cuban, she’s certainly been one of the more successful reality stars.

Bethenny Frankel started out creating a healthy cookie company. That company landed her on the reality show “Martha Stewart: Apprentice.” However, her first big venture didn’t pan out too well for Bethenny. Still, she didn’t give up and was soon featured on “The Real Housewifes: New York.” After actually getting married, Bethenny started her own line of low-calorie margarita mixes. This company was a big hit for Bethenny and according to reports, she sold the company for $100 million in 2011. However, Bethenny also recently underwent a very expensive divorce. All told, Bethenny’s current net worth is estimated to be $25 million,

All together, the Shark Tank cast’s net worth tops out at $5.75 billion!

It’s the kind of show that plays well in our country. It appeals to the idea that the average person can build a better mousetrap and get a shot at success (that is, wealth).

People love that basic story and it never gets old.

The other thing that appeals to our country is the occasional severe dressing down of guests on the show. Americans love a success story, and they love to see someone fail, too. It’s a strange duality.

Not a big fan of Kevin O’Leary. He sits on the Canadian version of this show, which means he draws a pay check from the government of Canada. Makes him a bit of a hypocrite.
