From Aman Gupta To Peyush Bansal, Here¡¯re The Shark Tank Judges & Their Net Worth
In case you aren't aware of it, Shark Tank is one of the coolest reality shows you'll ever see on television. This show aimed to provide a start to budding entrepreneurs, who present cool, quirky, and sometimes weird, business ideas to real-life investors, referred to on the show as sharks.
The participants of the show seek investments from the sharks in return for a certain percentage of equity in the company that they are willing to give to the investors. The sharks, then, evaluate the products on a number of things including how valuable the company might eventually be.
