When it comes to brilliant business ideas, the “sharks” of Shark Tank know what it takes.
And if it’s deemed worthy of investment, the sharks will take a bite.
Premiering in 2009, the popular reality-television series showcases entrepreneurs giving a product pitch to a panel of six investors (aka sharks) who decide if it’s worthwhile.
And the sharks have seen it all!
From heat-free hair rollers to ugly Christmas sweaters, wearable blankets with hoods, and a reusable super sponge, they’ve seen brilliant business ideas that have earned millions of dollars thanks to them and their generous investments.
While the business presentations are fun to watch, we love learning from the savvy sharks. And call us nosy, but we couldn’t help but wonder where these six wealthy sharks live.
Continue reading about the sharks’ dope dens. From Mark Cuban’s mega-mansion in Dallas to Robert Herjavec’s swanky suite in Manhattan, here’s the full scoop on where the sharks live.
Daymond John’s home
Daymond John, founder of apparel company FUBU, invested in the most successful product (ever!) on Shark Tank.
With more than $225 million in lifetime sales, Bombas (a company that sells comfort socks and T-shirts) is the greatest success story from the reality show.
And Daymond John is laughing all the way to the bank.
The business magnate and wife Heather are raising their daughter Minka in a luxurious high-rise apartment in New York City.
Heather’s Instagram page often showcases the NYC home, featuring a large playroom for Minka, a stunning fireplace, and a beautiful master bedroom.
On weekends, the Johns often travel north to their cabin in Dutchess County. The property in rural New York sits on several hundred acres, The New York Times reports.
And it sounds like life is better at the lake.
“I’ll wake up at 5:30 because the fish don’t wait for anybody,” Daymond said of life at the cabin.
“When I look on my lake, the fog is generally very, very thick. I know then that I’m on time to catch the fish. It’s summertime, so the air is decent. Hopefully I’ll usually catch maybe 15 largemouth bass. That’s a great day. Let’s say eight — let’s average it off at eight.”
Barbara Corcoran’s home
Barbara Corcoran invested in one of the show’s most successful products: The Original Comfy, with sales of more than $150 million.
The real estate entrepreneur got herself a 30% stake in the company that makes wearable blankets with hoods. And with all that cash, she’s certainly comfy in her crib.
Barbara Corcoran and husband Bill Higgins live with their children Tom and Katie in a stunning NYC penthouse in Manhattan’s posh Upper East Side.
According to Hello!, Barbara bought the home in 2015 for $10 million.
Featuring four bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the penthouse has its own games room, a 16-foot glass conservatory, and a rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the city.
The self-made millionaire opened up to People about her stunning penthouse: “Years ago I was trying to get my old business, the Corcoran Group, through some hard times, so I took a second job as a messenger. I was delivering an envelope to the woman who lived here, and when she opened the door off the elevator, I saw that terrace,” she said, pointing to the spectacular outdoor space with views across Central Park.
“I said, ‘Excuse me, ma’am, but if you ever sell this place, will you call me first?’”
She added: “But what do you think happened 25 years later? I got rich. I sold my business. She knew who I was, and she called me first.”
Robert Herjavec’s home
Among many other savvy money moves, shark Robert Herjavec invested in Tipsy Elves, holiday-themed apparel in the form of ugly Christmas sweaters that generated more than $125 million in sales.
As it turns out, that was quite a lucrative bite for the Canadian shark.
According to Financial Post, the Canadian entrepreneur bought a luxury condo in New York City in 2021.
And it sounds like he got a great deal on the swanky suite.
Robert paid $34.5 million for the condo in the building known as One57 in midtown Manhattan. Reportedly, the home was listed for $45 million one year earlier.
Featuring four bedrooms, the 6,200-square-foot apartment Robert Herjavec calls home spans an entire floor of the 75-story building on West 57th Street, with a grand salon that overlooks Central Park.
It sounds like the self-made millionaire and wife Kym Johnson are raising their twins Hudson and Haven in NYC for now.
In 2021, they sold their home in Hidden Hills for $17 million. Before that, Robert sold his multimillion-dollar mansion in Toronto for the same amount.
Kevin O’Leary’s home
Known as Mr. Wonderful, Canadian entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary and his wife Linda have raised their children Savannah and Trevor at their main home in Toronto. The O’Leary Canadian cottage on Lake Joseph features a stunning waterfront view.
But the O’Learys love their additional properties as well.
When looking at his sharkalytics, we see Kevin has invested more than $8 million on “Shark Tank,” for 40 deals across 131 episodes.
Indeed, he can afford a few fabulous homes!
Besides their Toronto estate, the O’Learys own properties in Canada’s Muskoka, Boston, and Geneva in Switzerland.
Lori Greiner’s home
Lori Greiner knows a thing or two about good hair.
Not only does the savvy businesswoman have lovely locks of her own, she’s helped millions with their daily hair routines. Lori invested a considerable amount for a 25% stake in Sleep Styler, which has turned out to be one of the show’s greatest success stories.
The heat-free hair rollers created from memory foam are worn while sleeping, and they’ve produced more than $100 million in sales.
That beautiful blonde hair of Lori’s rests comfortably in her stunning estate in Chicago.
The businesswoman and her husband Dan live and work in Chicago.
The author of Invent It, Sell It, Bank It! often shares glimpses of the couple’s home via Instagram. Lori is often seen sitting on the couple’s bed featuring a large cream button-back headboard, and white and cream bed linen with metallic silver embellishment.
Mark Cuban’s home
Last, but certainly not least, the show’s wealthiest shark is none other than Mark Cuban.
The billionaire and his wife Tiffany are raising their three children in a mega-mansion in Dallas.
They also own a swanky vacation home in California.
Mark’s mansions are spectacular. Take a peek inside.

Take a peek inside Sandra Bullock’s $6M San Diego spread
Almost 30 years after her breakthrough role as Keanu Reeves‘ co-star in the action thriller Speed, Sandra Bullock is one of the biggest names in Hollywood.
With her body of work spanning from cult classics like Demolition Man to raunchy comedies (The Heat), rom-coms (The Proposal, While You Were Sleeping), dramas (2019’s The Blind Side earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress), all the way to science fiction thrillers (Gravity) and horrors (Bird Box), it feels like there’s nothing she can’t do.
And that extends beyond her acting skills.
The actress, whose most recent hits include Netflix thriller-drama, The Unforgivable, the action-adventure comedy The Lost City, and the action film Bullet Train — now in cinemas — is also quite active on the real estate scene.
Bullock’s real estate portfolio is almost a match for her A-list resume (and has just as much range).
At one point, Architectural Digest reported that the actress owned “at least 17 properties scattered across the country.”
Among them: a 91-acre hilltop compound with an organic avocado farm in North San Diego which recently hit the market for $6,000,000 (Alan Long with Avenue8 holds the listing).

Located in the Palomar Mountain Range north of San Diego and just west of the Cleveland National Forest, the property is a private escape where natural beauty reigns supreme.
You’ll find everything from towering eucalyptus trees to groves of organic avocado trees, citrus, persimmon, olive and palm trees, colorful rose gardens, walking, and hiking trails, you name it.

While those alone wouldn’t warrant the $6 million asking price, the three separate land parcels that make up the property’s total of 91 acres sure do.
Especially since one of the parcels contains the main house — a beautiful one-story adobe-style ranch with all the bells and whistles.

Sandra Bullock’s house has 4 bedrooms and 6 baths, a large living room with high-pitched white wood ceilings, and a library with fireplace and illuminated shelving.

The large, bright eat-in kitchen comes with custom La Cornue ovens and range, and quite a few high-range appliances. It also has soapstone counters and Italian marble backsplash with an inlay mosaic mural.

The formal dining room doesn’t leave much to be desired either, boasting beamed white wood ceiling, a bay of French casement windows, a marbled wet bar/buffet and wine refrigerator.

Each of the four bedrooms come with their own en-suite bathroom, but the primary bedroom stands out with an adobe fireplace, spacious lounge area, and private access to the pool.
It also has a lavish bath with a jetted bathtub (that opens up to views of the property’s lush grounds), a large steam shower, and built-in antique vanities with dual sinks.

From the heated saltwater pool and spa (which has an automated pool cover) to the Bocce ball court and the plentiful outdoor entertainment areas, modern amenities compete with farm additions like a walk-in chicken coop and a 1,200 high-quality Dusa/Hass organic avocado tree orchard.

The compound consists of three separate legal parcels, one for the main house, another an undeveloped lot, and a third, 30-acre parcel that’s currently housing an additional 3-bedroom, 2-bath dwelling.
There’s also the option to buy the property without the 3rd parcel (the one with the extra 3-bed home).
The celebrity home also has the potential to generate revenue from the many fruit-producing trees on the property. Already certified for its organic Hass avocado grove and grapefruit, lemon, and persimmon, crops can be extended to include grapes — and even have a vineyard and winery on-site.
Horse enthusiasts can also turn it into an equestrian estate.

From the looks of it, Sandra Bullock has had it with the West Coast for the time being.
The actress has already sold a West Hollywood condo in 2022, rented out her Malibu home, and is now parting ways with her San Diego compound.
According to the New York Post, Bullock is looking to relocate to the East Coast, to be closer to family.
Listing agent Alan Long, who’s also friends with the actress, told the publication that “She is looking for a farm closer to her sister on the East Coast.”
And while we’re wishing her the best of luck with that, it can’t be easy to find a property that matches her San Diego compound — both in terms of amenities and finishes.
But she has plenty of other properties to fall back on in the meantime.
Sandra Bullock owns homes throughout the country, including a Beverly Hills mid-century bungalow she bought last year for $2.7 million, a Victorian-era mansion in New Orleans purchased back in 2009 with her then-husband Jesse James, a spacious Soho townhouse in New York City, and a Malibu pad that she’s now renting out.
