Corcoran Jr., bounced from job to job throughout Corcoran's childhood. At times, her family relied on deliveries of free food from a friendly local grocer. Corcoran remembers her father as a man who occasionally drank too much and treated her mother with disrespect and condescension, particularly when he'd been drinking.[9]

Corcoran struggled throughout her schooling, and was labeled the "dumb kid" by her teachers and classmates. She later learned that she had dyslexia, and has stated that the bullying "drove her to work harder and learn the skills she needed to succeed".[10] She attended a local Catholic elementary school and started high school at St. Cecilia High School in Englewood.

She wanted to be her own boss, and in 1973, while working as a receptionist for the Giffuni Brothers' real estate company in New York City, she co-founded The Corcoran-Simonè with her boyfriend, who lent her $1,000.[17][11] She split from her boyfriend seven years later after he told her he was going to marry her secretary. She then formed her own firm, The Corcoran Group.[18]

In the mid-1970s, she also began publishing The Corcoran Report, a newsletter covering real estate data trends in New York City.[14]

In 2001, Corcoran sold her business to NRT for $66 million.[19][20][21]

In September 2017, Corcoran was announced as a contestant for season 25 of Dancing with the Stars, where she was partnered with Keo Motsepe.[22]

In 2017, Corcoran's Shark Tank deal with The Comfy, an oversized wearable blanket, turned her $50,000 investment into $468 million. She was then bought out.[23][24]

Formerly known as Barbara Corcoran Venture Partners, today Forefront Venture Partners invests in high-growth, revenue-generating, early-stage companies.[25][26]

Personal life
