The comment sections are always joking on Barbara but the deals she actually does make she actually helps, they become more successful, and they don’t just all fall through… she really just follows her gut instinct and it works for her
People don't joke on Barbara because she makes losing deals, we joke on Barbara because for years she wouldn't invest in anything over $200,000 (seriously check the stats) and would insult the entrepreneur on her way out as though she was angry that they asked for a price she couldn't afford, which wasted a slot on the panel and hurt the ability to get bidding wars going.
It's amazing how several entrepreneurs just walk into the tank and get a deal that changes their life forever. It makes me smile to know people can actually make their dreams come true.
forbes published an article about how about 70% of all deals made are either modified or abandoned after the show. Mark has a 86% record of following through. The others are around 50% or lower. The good thing for these products though is the publicity that they get.
Well first and foremost, no other shark would be willing to invest in just whatever deal that comes into this show if big money wasn't involve. 🤗🤑🤑 So basically, they're only in here for profits, they're businessmen afterall, and obviously the og owners of em businesses gonna climb the ladder of success together/ through their help and expertise plus their knowledge of how to multiply money 🤪
@@abhishekbhandari6362 yeah, they do due diligence after and check on the company. Some of those are pretty fishy and Barbara and Robert sometimes give a deal because they like the person. They got the right feeling. Then, they were like fkkkkkkk, no amount of feeling can save this. LoL You can't blame them. And some entrepreneurs are just there for the exposure too. They can make a real good pitch and numbers, just for the deal to fall after. The Shark marketing is the best thing from the show.
Actually no, Lori has made the most money out of all the sharks. Especially with scrub daddy being the #1 brand from shark tank. Lori has the top 5 brands from the show.

@@alexjalloh91 Lori has made the most out of her Shark Tank investments, true. Original comment is suggesting that Barbara makes the most return per investment.

People give Barbara a lot of heat for not always investing, but she prefers to invests in projects she knows she can help a lot. Smart and she made money.
So they did 50mil in sales and restaurants make about 20% profit. So that means they’ve made about 10 mil and Barbara put up 50K and made 1.5mil off that. Not bad return for 6 years.
I would disagree ..they talked about 10 franchise they have sold..thats pure money..without running costs and overheads...so they might be earning more profit
I LOVE when the sharks are so unnecessarily rude and use lame excuses to go out like Marks excuse or Roberts excuse for pulling out with his lame ego move. Then the company ends up being amazing
It’s not really a lame excuse. With the amount of pitches they see they aren’t going to waste their time and money investing with someone who doesn’t show interest in any of their questions. For that reason I’m out
With all the jokes about Barbara’s, you can tell how amazing she is in what she does. If not all, most of her investments are doing really well. I love her on the show!!
The "Sarcastic attitude coming out of the mouths of Mark, Kevin, and Daymond was appalling! Their business idea is ingenious! Barbara made a great deal with them, and I'm happy they're doing excellently since they were on the show. I was born and raised in MA. Loved the Maine Lobsters, and I miss them. I can't get a lobster here in VA that taste anything like Maine Lobsters. But Daymond and Mr. Wonderful show up to eat the FREE lobster and walk away with their tail between their legs. Haha.
Yeah because she has got less of a net worth and is overall is picky on her deals as there is more risk. When she makes a deal, she does it when she can make a lot of money from the business and understands that the people who run the business matter the most.
@@SomethingIveseen she's usually for weird reasons like gut feelings etc. but robert goes out because his feelings are hurt like dude youre 50 not 5 grow up this is business.
I actually appreciate Barbara taking their business off the ground and seeing these 2 cousins for the great guys they are because the other Sharks really went out for the stupidest reason. Mark : You are answering the rest more than me, I'm out. Kevin : Theres nothing special about the business, I'm out. Damon : I'm not getting a good deal, I'm out. Robert : Barbara questioned my Marketing/Business abilities, I'm out.
@@deepanshjawrani yes but Damons track record and definition of "Good deals" is lowballing them. Unlike Kevin who accurately prices the company in his asking.
@@deepanshjawrani as opposed to Barbara here to, who saw their potential and decided to meet them in the middle and negotiate. Instead of lowballing and then go out just because they cant meet you at your offer. But yeah its a business, if dont like the deal just go out.
The fact is, the other sharks' egos are why they didn't make an offer. None of them have the talent and skills to do what Barbara did with the business. That is her niche. Rather than admit that, the other sharks criticized the Cousins. That's called gaslighting. They're narcissists. A transparent individual would have just said that's not my niche, and I'm not the best partner for you rather than criticize and blame the Cousins for doing something wrong.
Barbara is the best shark according to me...bcz the businesses she invested in have been doing extremely good...either she gives her best when she offers a deal..or she absolutely doesn't.
What's interesting to me is how very negative some of the sharks were and that Barbara didn't really speak much. Yet the entrepreneurs didn't get discouraged and gratefully accepted an offer that took more (3X) of their business than they initially offered. It worked out fantastically.
I stoped at this truck in northville MI paid over $20 for 3 lobster tacos and it was worth every penny freshest lobster very flavorful better than a upscale restaurant Barbara must’ve made a killing on these guys and made the others look like amateurs
and here i am just coming from a festival eating my lobster roll with tator tots from THEIR TRUCK!! they have alot of trucks now! congratulations to them!!
Four days ago I stood in the rain and wind for one hour waiting to buy my lobster grilled cheese sandwich and bowl of lobster bisque and my husband’s Connecticut Roll. I watch their Facebook page to see when they come to my area so I don’t miss a chance to get my lobster fix! I’d say these guys’ business is a success!
Most of Barbra investment is into the food industry aka franchise. She’s in Realestate and made most of her money there that’s why she can bring a lot of value to such a business and that’s why she only invests into them and for the rest she’s out 😂
I just had cousins yesterday for the first time at a food truck in Wilmington, de. I felt like I got ripped off. $16.50 for a Connecticut lobster roll. When I got home, the roll was so small, I was hungry an hour later. I felt like I got ripped off. Never again.
i dont like food trucks for one reason They are Overpriced once i paid $20 for shrimp with noodles a small portion too then once i paid $35 for 2 grass fed burgers off a truck and it wasn't all that i have made better stuff on my grill The Quality is not there for most of these trucks and they charge way too much this is why i avoid them
I'm frrom maine and can get any deal up here if ur smart for AWARD WINNING LOBSTAHS AND LOBSTAH ROLLS. there is no other lobstah better. Gordon Ramsey even says that. If these sharks wanna make bank they should actually come up here and check it out cuz its what this state is made on
