Why Kevin O'Leary is Overrated

Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary is overrated. Let’s uncover the questionable business practices and financial missteps of the self-proclaimed "Mister Wonderful" as we explore his journey from television production to high-stakes investment deals.
From a multi-million dollar acquisition that led to a colossal financial disaster to accusations of promoting crypto in exchange for a hefty sum, O'Leary's track record raises serious questions about his credibility as a business guru.

He thinks of hard hitting questions that the other Sharks don't think of. So he does best for the Sharks which majorly includes the money that will be involved when they invest. But nobody thinks of that, because they are not entrepreneurs or have the desire to ever be one so they just think hes just a mean guy, but little do they know he is the best sidekick for each Shark, or they are his best sidekick

I worked for several storied consumer software companies. It was well known that KO's modus operandi was to acquire a company, and then immediately layoff all the employees that created the content and built the brands. He would hire low cost outsourcing companies to whip up crappy version upgrades that were lousy money grabs. Rumors were rampant at the time that he was cooking his books, and people were aghast at the Mattel deal. He ruined companies and brands, and this was well known. I've been telling people this story since Shark Tank became popular, and I have yet to find someone who had any knowledge of his history.

[@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917]

I just always found it weird that such a wealthy and successful businessman was on Cameo. People suspected it was so that he could make deals to promote shady companies while dodging any responsibility. So, if an obvious pyramid scheme used a clip of him saying "I love this company, I believe in them, and you should believe in them too," he could say "I just read the script they paid ne to read," if they ever got into legal trouble. If he had to read out a few birthday messages and earned a few thousand dollars from that to make those kinds of deaks, that was a price he was willing to pay.

Okay fine everyone get to have their own opinion. But as soon as he was offered 10 million to promote ftx he changed his script real quick. In 2009 when tech stocks were low he was all over cnbc tv pumping his high dividend paying bonds. Yet in 2021 he was buying fb stock only after it ran up huge. Then he sold during the sell off at a big loss. Now its back up even more. All those funds he manages must under perform a ton. But he doesn't even care cause he earns a high management fee for taking everyone money.

Finally ! Thank you.

[@moejotuber]

Thanks Aaron , for the public airing of truths. Music to my ears, been saying this stuff for decades.

[@markneilson1044]

I never knew much about the guy apart from shark tank. But I saw an interview with him a few years ago. Talking about if anyone had money he would invest it in Saudi Arabia. I thought this guy has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Only because I had actually worked in Saudi Arabia and although I had a great experience and think the people are great. Investing there would not be a good idea.

Great video.. always thought this guy was shady and BS .. FTX made it public. He was anti crypto till he was paid to promote it. You need to cover Damon he is worse than Kevin .. look it up how he screwed people

[@AaronWatsonGeo]

Really? I hadn’t heard about that

Great video, but please keep the background music low, I can't focus.

[@lilclorox8558]

I wouldnt say hes "overrated". Man is definitely good at making money, he just doesnt know how to make money a legitimate way

[@rd24life]

Thank you for making this. I have thought that Kevin is a scumbag for a long time

[@Dutchy-1168]

Me too

[@sanjanewmoonlife]

He is not scumbag ,he works hard .

[@amandhingra4947]

Sources in description would be great

[@beefybeefbeefbeefy]

Fantastic video!

[@MichaelToub]

Great Video!!

[@Girish18191]

he is overrated

[@AaronWatsonGeo]

Yup

[@veergujral6517]

I don't think I could ever trust someone who literally refers to himself as "Mr. Wonderful".

[@sanjanewmoonlife]

He didn't give this name to himself,other people calling him wonderful.

[@smx3084]

Wow! Enlightening. Thanks!

[@EMedrano-cm4jy]

Cool video I think we all need to learn how to look closer

[@sergii_real_estate]

He is still $400mil net worth and thriving with a variety of investments. You not becoming bad investor if you miss on 25% of your money bets when other 75% are successful.

[@knoore]

He's a fraudster... but ppl love fraudsters

[@AaronWatsonGeo]

Yup

[@anshulchaudhary4407]

Damn this is good! Subbed

[@INTELIGENCIANEWS]

Great piece

[@cmbcoo]

I met him at a trade show in Vegas. 2 of my coworkers were swooning, I had no idea who he was. I looked him in the eyes when shaking his hand and he couldn’t hold the eye contact, looked down/away. Afterwards they were saying how badass he is etc, and I said “seems like kind of a b_tch to me” lol. About a month later his grift was exposed.

[@patrickchan2503]

your coworkers should be worshipping you now 🙂 would love to hear the chats between you and coworkers after the grift was exposed

[@cmbcoo]

@@patrickchan2503 I def had no idea he was THAT much of a punk, just caught a vibe. I look at ppl eye to eye too intensely sometimes tbh but it's a good way to feel out intentions. Some ppl look away like "weird bro, what?" lol but his vibe was "oh no, he sees me!' like he was hiding something. My coworkers did admit that I read him correctly, which was nice especially considering it's an important part of our job.

[@deeptoot1453]

​@@cmbcooWhat joh do you do? Great reading jnto him. I had the same feeling with Chris Kemp from Astra an everyone told me I would miss out on huge gains if I ingored his company. Look what happened to those fools supporting him now.

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Um, no, your story has zero credibility. Unless you were living in a cave for the last 40 years, you def knew who he was. The rest of your story is fake too.

[@cmbcoo]

@@bigmacdaddy1234 not at all lol, I had heard of the show though

[@judesvidler168]

Informative vid.

[@asaara2648]

Finally someone said it with arguments! Keep it up, been here since zhe beginning
