Shark Tank – Which Shark Makes the Most Profitable Deals?

Posted on by

Shark Tank, the show where regular folks pitch products to multi-millionaire investor “Sharks” is now in its tenth year.  The series has presented hundreds of budding entrepreneurs and many of them were able to make deals earning well over $100 million of the Sharks’ cash.

But did you ever wonder which of the Sharks: Barbara Corcoran, Robert Herjavec, Kevin (“Mr. Wonderful”) O’Leary, Daymond John, Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner made the most profitable deals?

Gary Levin at USAToday recently posted ‘Shark Tank’ Exclusive: These are the 20 Best-Selling Products Ever Featured on the Show and the results weren’t even close.

  • Lori Greiner made 6 of the most profitable deals (all 6 in the top ten; in fact the top 3 most profitable deals were hers) in the top 20.
  • Barbara Corcoran had 2 deals in the top ten and 3 in the top 20.
  • Robert Herjavec had 1 deal in the top ten and 2 in the top 20.
  • Daymond John had 1 deal in the top ten and 2 in the top 20.
  • Mark Cuban had 0 deals in the top ten and 3 in the top 20.
  • Kevin O’Leary had 0 deals in the top ten and 4 in the top 20.

 

I was a bit surprised how Lori Greiner dominated the best-selling items.  While Kevin O’Leary may be Mr. Wonderful, Lori Greiner is definitely Ms. Profitable!
