Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec has amassed a fortune of over $600 million from his diverse business ventures. His journey was anything but traditional. Lacking formal training in business or accounting, many doubted his potential as an entrepreneur. Nonetheless, he developed his skills and technical expertise to build leading cybersecurity firms.
Herjavec scaled these companies to impressive heights before selling them to tech giants and private equity firms. His breakthrough came in 2000 with the sale of Brak Systems, an internet security software integrator, to AT&T Canada for nearly $30.2 million. Over the past two decades, Herjavec has followed a similar pattern—building and selling multiple companies to industry giants such as AT&T and Nokia.
