Shark Tank

Who is your favorite?

I can't really decide between Mark Cuban and Mr. Wonderful

 

Mr. Wonderful of course bahahah, he is pretty funny.

 

Lol Mr. Wonderful. Cuban is cool, but has that attitude only people like him like lol.

 

Robert is my favorite. Seems the most normal of them all.

 

I've liked most all the investors. The show is great too.

Just don't like a few shady asf things about the show. Like how often after the investor will just ignore the person who pitched it, try to change the rate, etc.

I believe the studio takes 5% automatically when a deal is made too. So if you make a deal to sell 49% then the studio can sell 1% to the investors and you no longer own your own business.

 

That's way too corrupt. Theres no way a studio can take that much lol. I'm pretty sure they just get their money for views, and I don't even think they pay the investors. I think they are just in it for the potential investments, popularity, etc.

 

Feel free to look it up. I believe its either equity or a royalty that goes to the studio. And the investors profit from their investments obviously.

 

@ Mandingo, The investors do get paid 30k per episode.

 

Kevin - Le Wonderful from Dragon's Den [Canadian]

 

I thought they got their cut in cash and no ownership %? huh

Anyway, Kevin O'leary is basically my hero

 

Yeah, so better hope you don't settle for 45% or more lol.

 

not anymore http://www.inc.com/will-yakowicz/mark-cuban-forces-shark-tank-to-remove-equity-clause.html

When that was a thing, that's ridiculous that anyone would even go on the show who planned on actually doing something with their company. They would take 5% regardless if you struck a deal or not. crazy. I bet the company producing the show made off like bandits...

 

Not surprising that the studio might take a cut into the businesses they choose to showcase. Just business.

 

Most of them are assholes...

Media makes it seem like they are doing good creating jobs but really they do jack shit.

Robert is the only one with a good heart I've had the chance to meet him in person in a telecommunications convention he's a really good guy the rest of them are snobs.

 

I used to watch Shark Tank a lot when I had a lot of free time. I'm pretty sure that most of the investments the "sharks" make help a lot, not only because of the money the person is receiving, but because of all the industry connections the sharks have and can supply the company with.

 

Mr. Wonderful is a trip.

Good show in my opinion
