Barbara Ann Corcoran

 Barbara Ann Corcoran was a businesswoman, investor and speaker from the United States. She was the founder of The Corcoran Group, a real estate brokerage located in New York City, which she sold to NRT for $66 million in 2001 and shortly thereafter exited the company. Corcoran was a participant in 12 of ABC's Shark Tank seasons. As of February 2020 she had completed 53 deals. The most significant of these was a purchase of $350,000 in Coverplay at 40%. Corcoran was the second child of 10 children born to an Irish Catholic couple of working class in Edgewater, New Jersey.  Her mother, Florence, was a homemaker. Her father, Edwin W. Corcoran Jr., bounced from job to job throughout Corcoran's early years. At times, the family relied upon free food delivery from a local, friendly grocery store. Corcoran recalls her father being an alcohol-dependent drunkard who often treated her mother with condescension and disrespect, especially after the fact that he was drinking. Corcoran was a struggle in school, and eventually discovered that she was dyslexic. Corcoran went to the local Catholic elementary school, and then began the high school system at St. Cecilia High School in Englewood. Corcoran, who had failed several courses in her freshman year, moved to Leonia High School. There she received a grade of D.
