By her estimation, superstar 'Shark Tank' investor and real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran has funded more than 650 start-up businesses during her time on ABC's hit show. From baked goods to home decor, swimwear to fidget toys, she's got stakes in some handy products you may even have laying around your home.
But of all the businesses Corcoran has helped to find success, there's one, she says, that has netted more profit than any so far. The biggest breadwinner, she says on an episode of "The Daniel Mac Show", has made her about $470 million to date.

So which business is it? "It would have to be [The] Comfy," Corcoran said. She goes on to tell the show host that she was the only Shark to go in on the business. "I took the deal myself. I got a third of the business for I think $50,000? Nobody wanted it."

But when it comes to investing, big wins aren't the norm -- and Corcoran is quick to point that out. "Don't worry," she says, "I've lost on so many others[...] We're not allowed to say [which 'Shark Tank' investments we lose on,] but I can say I lost money on a lady who claimed her lipstick made you lose weight -- I should have seen through that. I lost money on a dentist who said his toothpaste puts you to sleep[...] I could go on and on. I'm more particular today."
When it comes down to the final 'Shark Tank' success rate, Corcoran says it's "maybe about a third."
