Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary isn’t used to taking orders, yet as an actor for the new movie Marty Supreme, the prolific investor had no other choice.

O’Leary has been a millionaire for more than 25 years and a prolific investor since then. He sold his software company SoftKey to Mattel for $4.2 billion in 1999. More recently, he has invested an estimated $8.5 million into about 40 companies in his role as a judge on Shark Tank since its inaugural 2009 season.
