      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.

      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 🤪

      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.

    50 million in sales, lets say 25% is net(might be less, might be more) that's 12.5million, and 17% of that is, 2.125 million dollars!
    Not bad for 50k dollars investment

      Barbara got a 15% stake after negotiation. Food businesses generally net 15 to 20% of revenue. So more like 1.6 mil.
