At home with Barbara Corcoran

Barbara Corcoran, founder of the Corcoran Group and an investor in the second season of ABC's "Shark Tank," gives The Real Deal a tour of her three-bedroom apartment on 94th Street and Park Avenue, that she bought for $3.5 million in 2000, in the first in a two-part series. Corcoran, a real estate investor and author of recently released "Shark Tales," lives with her husband William Higgins and two children, 17-year-old Tommy and Kate, who the couple adopted five years ago. She shows us her favorite spot in the 3,500-square-foot apartment, talks about a lack of sex in the bedroom and demonstrates how her son wedges himself into his airplane-size bathroom to shave.

I love Barbara, so smart! But couldn't they have done the interview without the gigantic circa 1974 microphone in her face?

[@boerandemo7766]

Stephen Troup hehe... You are a savage

[@heribrandao3058]

Hate her or Like her, this women is very simple. incredible personality for who she is

[@risingsonseven]

I met her and her husband on a cruise ship, didn't realize who she was until today, she was very down to earth and her husband was very cool, great conversationalist. I kept bumping into them and we would all have are drinks and smoke cigarettes on the deck of the cruise ship, very easy going couple

[@jonhohensee3258]

She smokes? If so, maybe she's not so smart.

[@renogunzddragon1900]

Jon Hohensee lol assuming things..people are stupid isnt it

[@commandervander1]

I can listen to Barbara speak forever! She is so simplistic, yet, so knowledgeable. She is a heck of a storyteller, too! Even with her wealth, she still comes across as maternal and down to Earth.

[@Acanthophis]

This is my home, and for that reason I'm out.

[@zach4216]

lmfao

[@ALisALright]

Barbara seems like such a nice person. Very personable, even with all of her success.

[@Mexicomank2]

Alvin Grier she reminds me of my deceased grandma they probably would of been best friends by the looks of their possessions they would of been friends plus she rocked a very similar hair style

[@joekinsella8156]

Mexicomank2 and for that reason I'm out

[@Raskolnikov32]

You gotta be kidding? She makes the odd remark about handsome young men, but Robert... Jeez, my God, he's into restraining-order territory!

[@aftermath4096]

I'm not talking about that. There are a few instances where she flat out said that she needed to work more as woman to achieve the same result, and that women are more capable workers than men.

[@Raskolnikov32]

Well she's right there, on both counts. Women do have to work harder in a male-dominated environment in order to succeed. And women are more capable of juggling things than men - have you ever met a stay-at-home dad? None of those guys is anywhere close to coping.

[@matthewscott1091]

"I have the best lines to avoid sex. The best one, "is that a cold sore on my lip honey?" And right away he's lost interest." This woman is a treasure trove of humorous insights & anecdotes. 💜😅💜

[@PharmacyTechLessons]

this lady is so frugal! Amazing!

[@TheSupersiddh]

O'neisha Biggs whats Frugal?

[@alexbabich2698]

Its a nice way of saying cheap

[@Baptb11717]

Most rich people are

[@Chutney1luv]

I know! I love her style!! 😅🍃

[@roggy12345]

Barbara at home? I bet she is going to go out anytime soon

[@MyMelanatedScope]

[@B1tterBubble]

"I'm out"

[@steve293]

The production value of this vid is straight out of the 90s. I love it.

[@dontaviousrobinson2449]

"This is a cheap ass plant" 😂 fucking love this lady

[@LaytonKnightt]

She’s so happy to have that sliver of Central Park, and now her current apartment is facing it. Good for her.

[@AJ-bp6vl]

She's so down to earth, and still one of my role models! This video shows both. Practical, warm, loving. And I'm stealing her idea on the photo wall. I've been trying to mix/match frames and it's taking forever and not working...Pottery Barn here I come! I don't have time to decorate, with my new business and Shark Tank as an inspiration! Thank you Barbara for being you!

[@cristaldemisfit3315]

Dr House and for that reason I'm out

[@rajabaja6602]

she sounds like shes selling the apartment to the reporter...

[@10ashagirl]

Just found this video, I love Barbara Corcoran and now I am infatuated with the design of her home.

[@mangotornado]

she is so funny "this is a cheap ass plant" LOL

[@Practice_Kindness-1st]

I love it when she stated that she pays someone to cook every day, and that she'll do the cleaning afterwords. She has just earned her wings!

[@TunjungUtomo]

she could've work her socks off and stay at office until 9 PM everyday and be richer, but choose to be home by 6.30 and be wise so she can still enjoy being real human with real family, while still generate enough money to spend to have a good life. top lady

[@Sparta.10]

are you stupid? shes a millionaire net worth of about 40 m now. Read about her story of how she made $1000 to millions

[@TunjungUtomo]

she's a millionaire,alright,but she's realtively poor compared to the other sharks (Cuban 2Bn+,O'Leary 400M+,Daymond 300M+,Lori 150M+,Herjavec 300M+),so that put a perspective that she could've work harder,and longer,and make much more money (I'm sure she can),but chose not to so she can enjoy her own version of happy life

[@Sparta.10]

BTW im so sorry for not reading you comment properly......................................... and yes i agree shes a family woman which is great and still have time to invest in enterpenuers which makes her a great woman

[@Takeruskep]

Tunjung Utomo lori is worth 50, Barbara 40 and a 40 million dollar networth isn't a small thing

[@Takeruskep]

Tunjung Utomo herjavac is worth 100 mil

[@jazevox]

i have her book Shark Tales, it is a great read, very smart lady, so is her mother

[@prads091]

Oh I wish you would've shown how she organized her closet! She had some great tips to be efficient.

[@waleadele1965]

she's a nice lady, very friendly...until some money is involved

[@Zer0siks]

abdul rosaq adele I'm out

[@FoodNPlacesSF]

Wale Adele yes, anyone can feel comfortable with her! Very humble!

[@crystalday84]

I wish she were my mentor....I could learn so much from her.

[@william97able2]

easy, be an entrepeneur, start a small business with great concept and ideas, perform well in the first few months/years, go to shark tank, ask for investment from her.. hahahaha..

[@crystalday84]

Lol! That's the formula.

[@cristaldemisfit3315]

william97able . false Barbara does not do offers and deals on shark tank. she is hopeless on her mentorship

[@marig1972]

Nice video...I agree Barbara is very modest...Sweet lady!

[@GS-st9ns]

I love her gallery. About two years ago I turned my chimney in the kitchen into a gallery of Ikea frames and kids paint artwork

[@latresewashington9659]

I LOVE BARBARA'S HOME....ESPECIALLY THE LONG HALL,.OMG!

[@adelezierler1547]

Barbara, I really enjoyed the walkthrough of your lovely apartment. I figured you would use cheerful colors and a practical aspects to make this a so charming place. Great taste!

[@perfumaphilia3246]

I love how she's so candid about money and so gracious about sharing her space and personal life with the public. I have the utmost respect for her as a businesswoman and now moreso as a person. She's real, and the type of wealthy person you could actually approach and have a conversation with. She's so much more inspiring than snooty rich folks who act superior, pretentious, and rude.

[@Chutney1luv]

Barbara's place is gorgeous! She gave us a teachable moment with her creativity and designs! She's always thinking about the next best thing! How wonderful!! 😅👍🙌👍

[@tiffanipan6302]

That LONG hallway is like the one on Shark Tank! Lol

[@Mkozy111]

I love how she shoves the microphone in her face throughout the interview...

[@jazevox]

i like the all white theme in her home, looks nice and clean

[@dbmgna3951]

Good time for a follow up interview, please.

[@ewtwetrwerwteet]

Wow the house looks so normal. Very surprising but good for her, shes happy and fufilled

[@secretaryandactress]

I love seeing how other people decorate their homes. It gives me inspiration.

[@gavinstone8418]

She is the most creative person when it comes to design

[@jacklu1190]

She's so real, love it!

[@keno.3043]

I love the simplistic elegance of her apartment and it classic location on Park Avenue in no other than the Upper East Side!

[@jacobkilgannon6059]

I love Barbara! My inspiration. As a catholic I feel a very close connection. She reminds me so much of my mom

[@jacobkilgannon6059]

And so honest. She is no balogna

[@PattyASMRPatterns]

That was so much fun. Great lady - great businesswoman - great apartment. I could watch this over and over. Thank you!

[@diamonevideos9318]

I love her, she's so inspiring!

[@caroleastmond9064]

Smart lady, good interview!!🎉🎉

[@MsSassyMT]

Barbara is awesome.

[@alberta6408]

you don't have oreo cookies and for that reason, I'm out!!! LMAO

[@aucherii5938]

She looks a bit like Jane Lynch in some angles.

[@JaniceWilliams-wd8wv]

I just Love Barbara Corcoran. There is no one on earth more down to earth and inspiring. Thank you for this inside peek of Barbara's apartment and personality!

[@jonhohensee3258]

She can be rude on Shark Tank.

[@cristaldemisfit3315]

Janice Williams I can name like 37 more down to earth people whilst in a drunken stupor and at least 60 while sober

[@JaniceWilliams-wd8wv]

That's great. The more successful, down to earth people the better. It makes doing business so much more enjoyable. Have them check out WIN (Women in Networking) www.win-nc.com. WE'll take the 60 sober ones. The other 37 can join WIN-O ....lol

[@DavidMatine]

I guess giving her a mic to wear was too hard to think of?

[@LaDeeDah]

Awww I'm the same way!! I love to hang kids pictures!!

[@n.s-j.6214]

Barbara is amazing.

[@nat.serrano]

Very down to earth woman. Alpha female

[@lc2865]

She's fantastic!!!

[@Nairababi]

Barbera is a great woman, God bless her and her wonderful family =]

[@mayaliii]

Im glad to know that she's just a person.

[@jonhohensee3258]

What else would she be?

[@mattson0711]

Beautiful woman! She's Simply inspiring

[@crystaldunkin1392]

She is so cuuuute!

[@myronbodie3602]

Barbara is a wonderful entrepreneur. I would love to meet her one day.

[@sergioalvarez4549]

Why is the music from napoleon dynamite in the beginning? 😂

[@0993610128]

Very down to earth person 👍🏾

[@weatherboi]

Thought the interview was going to include more about her family.

[@imthrillz5255]

"I was never in to begin with so im out and for that reason im in, and for those reasons im out."- Barbara

[@dodgeball693]

I love this!

[@TheMil978]

She talks a lot .... Love her

[@fgherb7697]

Barbra your a classy smart woman. Thanks for sharing.

[@Saffrone221]

Shes the only shark who is not controlled by work. Awesome Barbara

[@joaniejerry9851]

I liked Barbara from the 1st time I saw her on Shark Tank. What a neat lady the more you read about her the more you will like her. BTW, love your kitchen Barbara :)

[@CAMPAZFilms]

she's awesome and hilarious

[@rherrerra9417]

Love her!

[@MsCaliforniaOne]

I would have thought she lived in a huge mansion or penthouse. My apartment is nicer than her home.

[@joecavanagh3793]

+Cali Fornia doubt it, you have any idea what prime real estate on top floors goes for in ny?

[@blaireddington8425]

You sound silly "Doubt it". You don't even now this person.How can you challenge something with no facts about this person. The point is don't assume things.

[@ramirolara289]

its a 3.5 million apartment wtf are you talking about

[@moonbeeps]

You just said apartment, this woman has an entire hallway with personalized columns for just her fucking pictures and children drawings....

[@Amateur_Pianist_472]

Cali Fornia it’s the location. The inside looks nice but it’s not all that. The outside of the building looks horrendous.

[@pearlbubbles6885]

Barbara is a machine

[@AndrejNikolov-xw2gi]

I like my home, and for that reason, I'm out - Barbra

[@sorenadix6411]

Antiquated mic!!👀

[@holio1009]

i love this women

[@MarcusLeepapi]

That is very nice...Great looking home...

[@lillylongtime9227]

"This is a cheap ass plant that you buy" hahahahaha

[@MrgregDetroit]

This segment should've been called, "i got money and you don't. "

[@jterk2980]

Barbara: I have a long hallway and for that reason I'm out

[@reneelynn3949]

She seems really sweet outside of Shark Tank.

[@jonasitis7125]

Let my two little nephews stay there for an hour. Next line from Barbara would be, *your out*

[@thecookiejarisempty5672]

same building from The Devil's Advocate movie..

[@milagrosfernandezasesorinm6335]

excelente

[@nathanielsett118]

Why is this on my recommended list?

[@jairmira5939]

I expect a lot more. The home isn't that impressive for a billionaire. The other sharks have mansions that have over ten rooms. I really expected something humongous. I don't even want a home like that I want a way bigger, spacer home. And the plant part was awk lol. I'm not hating I'm just surprised

[@joebillage3578]

She's not even close to a billionaire, and out of all the Sharks she's the poorest

[@jairmira5939]

+joe billage she is accually currently having a networth of $70 million she might be the poorest but she is definitely more than a millionaire

[@jamesbraun9842]

My name is Barbara and for that reason I'm out

[@maxtownsend6510]

This interview is about me, for that reason I'm out.

[@sydneejackson]

i wish i was her she is my favorite shark

[@donnaamandajackson7862]

new york is an amazing city, where a person worth Barbaras money has shoehorned themselves into a new york apartment because they cant imagine living anywhere else. The NYC property market is insane.

[@desco7628]

😊🎉❤u absolutely a Pisces!!

[@ren.666]

crazy to say that my middle class ass has a bigger home than barbra corcoran

[@keno.3043]

I'm so in love with this apartment I keep on re watching this video, it's my dream! I wish I could find out more about this place, more pictures, real estate listings etc.

[@BeltranMD]

+Owen Kensington it's on sale !!!!! www.corcoran.com/nyc/Listings/Display/3669226

[@gregbaldwin5128]

I would never ever pay that much to live in a apartment!

[@amarimbumba6338]

I was in before I was out so that's the reason I'm in but also out. All in all I'm in but most of the time I'm not. So for that reason I'm out

[@naphshi3754]

the interviewer sucked she was kinda overwhelmed with all who Babara is... she probably wants the life she has

[@robertcalifornia702]

We are at Barbara's house and for that reason, Barabara's out.

[@paulstevens2839]

I don't see how anyone who can live in a city high rise can think they have it so good. My sense of having it good is living in a secluded bungaloo in a rural wooded area with no neighbors.

[@tnewsome9121]

That's why it's YOUR sense and not her's.

[@paulstevens2839]

Thank god we all have our own

[@TheLusianPopa]

oh yeah lve in a rural area, nothing more boring could be.The suburbs, the country thats for old folk not for young or middle aged ppl who actually work and like to have fun often.

[@calliecalista184]

a unibomber in the making.. haha..

[@eldermillennial2000]

You must be glad most people don't prefer your lifestyle or else your "rural wooded area" would be overrun by us cityfolk.

[@preorgysmalltalk]

real good interview, real bad editing

[@banabonbonz]

You house looks amazing! And for that reason am out

[@ciri151]

Hi, I'm Barbruh, this is my house, and for that reason i'm out.

Not so nice sometimes on Shark Tank.

[@diamond852]

Amazing women.

[@tomnguyen3305]

You know what i realize. Rich and successful people love talking about themselves. Predictable. LOL

They had to lol its an in house interview

[@tomnguyen3305]

+sgteamx hmmmmmmm. touche.

[@jordanreinbold3712]

+Tom Nguyen fuck off

[@jacobfetzer715]

+Tom Nguyen Of course they do, nobody wants to interview or listen to poor people that failed in life.

[@ramata1962]

Nice lady. Cute apartment
