Tropical bash in Union Square

Barbara Corcoran knows that subtle’s no way to celebrate. The real estate mogul, who sold the Corcoran Co. in 2001 for about $70 million, now appears on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” and she threw a tropical-themed Tuesday night bash in honor of her book “Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 Into a Billion Dollar Business.” Glittery shirtless dudes distributed mai tais at the Union Square space while Barbara sat in a throne beneath a tree of billion-dollar bills bearing her likeness. Co-author Bruce Littlefield wore a costume that made it look like he was being eaten by a shark. And “Today’s” Al Roker was just being his bad self.

Success is the best revenge

Barbara Corcoran will never forget what her former real-estate partner and live-in beau, Ray Simone, told her when she informed him she was leaving him and going into business for herself: “You will never make it without me.” Corcoran walked out because, as she writes in her hot-off-the-presses book, “Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 Into a Billion Dollar Business,” Simone was having an affair with their secretary (whom he later married). So we’re not surprised to hear that her ex was one of the first people Corcoran invited to her book party this Tuesday at 15 Union Square West. So far, Simone hasn’t RSVP’d, but Corcoran’s husband of 22 years, real-estate investor Bill Higgins will be on hand to fete his wife.

Foot on face … cream

When Mark Cuban taped a guest spot on the upcoming season of ABC-TV’s “Shark Tank,” panelist Barbara Corcoran asked the billionaire how he stays so young-looking. Cuban said his first girlfriend told him to use foot cream on his face, and he still does. Barbara invited Cuban to the April 5 book party for “Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into A Billion Dollar Business,” which she co-wrote with Bruce Littlefield. Maybe he’ll share more beauty secrets if he goes.

NY Daily News: Barbara Corcoran Congratulates Rex Ryan

Barbara Corcoran has written a note congratulating a fellow dyslexic, Jets coach Rex Ryan, on his team’s victory over the Colts last weekend. The real-estate guru and “Shark Tank” panelist says that her dyslexia helps her size up a person or situation “quicker than a wink,” and she’s hoping it will do the same for Ryan on the Jets’ road to the Super Bowl.

NY Daily News: “Shark Tank”

Barbara Corcoran — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 19:05:23 +0000

Real-estate guru Barbara Corcoran is elated that the ABC television series “Shark Tank,” in which entrepreneurs try to get tycoons to invest in their ideas, has been renewed for a second season.

Corcoran, who’s a panelist on the show, invested more than $1 million in seven businesses last season, and five of them ran a profit by year’s end. She expects the other two to break even by November.

Babs is eager to invest in more companies, and, well, the national TV exposure is gravy.
