Ever wondered about the age of the sharp-tongued, savvy investor from ABC's hit show, Shark Tank? You're not alone. Barbara Corcoran, the real estate mogul turned TV personality, has been a fan favorite since she first joined the show in 2012. But just how old is she?
Barbara was born on March 10, 1949, in Edgewater, New Jersey. That makes her a 73-year-old Pisces, according to the zodiac. To put that into perspective, she's older than the internet (Al Gore invented that, right?) and even older than the first Star Wars movie.
Now, you might be thinking, "Barbara sure doesn't look 73!" And you're right. The feisty entrepreneur has a youthful energy that's infectious. So, what's her secret? Well, for starters, she's a big believer in staying active. She's been known to hit the gym regularly and even plays tennis. She also swears by a good night's sleep and a positive attitude.

"I'm a firm believer that if you put good energy out there, you'll get good energy back," she once said in an interview. It's this positive outlook that's not only kept her young at heart but also made her a successful businesswoman.
But Barbara's not just about looks. She's also got a sharp mind and a wealth of business experience. She co-founded The Corcoran Group, a successful real estate company, in 1973. She sold her stake in the company in 2001 for a cool $66 million. Not bad for a girl who grew up in a working-class family and started her career as a waitress!

So, what can we learn from Barbara's age-defying success? Well, for one, it's never too late to pursue your dreams.

She's also a great example of how a positive attitude and a willingness to learn can keep you young and successful.
In the end, age is just a number. And Barbara Corcoran is proof that with the right attitude and a bit of determination, you can achieve great things at any age.
