Barbara Corcoran Breaks Down 'Quirks and Differences' With 'Shark Tank' Castmates

Barbara Corcoran commemorated the 15th anniversary of Shark Tank by sharing her favorite qualities of her fellow sharks.

On Sept. 19, the 74-year-old shared a promotional photo of the cast on Instagram, featuring Daymond John, Robert Herjavec, Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner, and Kevin O'Leary posing with her.

"Can you believe it’s been 15 years since the very first episode of @sharktankabc?! What a ride it’s been," Corcoran wrote.

She continued, "I'm just crazy about my fellow sharks, and after 15 years together, we've truly become a dysfunctional family, much like any other. Allow me to introduce you to the cast of characters."

Corcoran described Cuban as "the big brother we all look up to." She added that he's the "tech-savvy, visionary investor who always has a keen eye on the future. His energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and he's been a guiding force for many entrepreneurs who've entered the Tank. He’s also a human calculator who handles all my numbers on set! It's a joy to sit next to him."

Meanwhile, she wrote that she sees Herjavec as "the kid brother who's full of energy and always has the newest toy." He also has "a heart of gold and a penchant for mentoring entrepreneurs, helping them find their footing and achieve their dreams. And he always is having fun on set! He’s smiling bigger and brighter than all of us."

While describing Greiner, Corcoran noted that the former QVC personality is the "middle child of the group" and "often plays the role of peacemaker." Corcoran also shared that Greiner "brings a sense of balance to the sometimes fierce negotiations in the Tank." She added more praise, noting that Greiner''s "ability to spot a winner is uncanny and boy can she sell a product!"

She also had high praise for John, calling him the "family favorite." She notes that his "genuine desire to uplift others is truly inspiring." Corcoran added, "He's not just a shark; he's a mentor and a friend to the entrepreneurs who walk through those doors. Plus he has the best dance moves in the Tank."

Last but not least, Corcoran wrote about O'Leary, a.k.a. Mr. Wonderful, who is "our resident bully, always ready with a sharp critique or a ruthless negotiation tactic. But beneath that tough exterior, there's a sharp business mind, and boy is it 'Wonderful'!" She additionally quipped, "His brain is better than his watch collection!"

As for her her own role in the cast, Corcoran shared that she's "not entirely sure" what it is, but she's "snug as a bug claiming it as my own."

The Corcoran Group founder added, "We may have our quirks and differences, but it’s made us a close-knit and formidable team for 15 years."

She continued her praise for the show and her castmates in the comments, writing, "Shark Tank has been a second career for me, one that I cherish deeply. It's given me the chance to give back and play the role of a fairy godmother to entrepreneurs who are in dire need of guidance and financial support. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a small idea grow into a thriving business, knowing that I played a part in that journey."

Corcoran's Instagram post comes over a week before the premiere of the show's 15th season, which premieres on Friday, Sept. 29 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ABC.
