- Shark Tank mogul Kevin O’Leary has done it all—investing in business ventures from software and watch insurance, to investing platforms and wine. The multimillionaire says when naysayers tell him he can’t break into an industry, the motivation to make money is taken over by wanting to “kick their ass.” Tuning out the criticism and pushing forward plays into his “founder’s mindset” that he picked up from working with the late Steve Jobs.
Kevin O’Leary has risen to icon status in the business world over his four-decade career. And he’s done it all—from being the iconic “Mr Wonderful” on investor series Shark Tank, to founding and selling his company SoftKey Software Products for $3.7 billion. Through all this success, his huge motivator has been the naysayers who think he can’t break through into new industries.
