About Barbara Corcoran

Barbara Corcoran is a real estate mogul and business expert whose rags-to-riches story has inspired entrepreneurs worldwide. Her credits include below-average grades in high school and college and 20 jobs by the time she turned 23.

She borrowed $1,000 and quit her job as a waitress to start a small real estate company in New York City. Over the next 25 years, Barbara would parlay that $1,000 into a $5 billion real estate business, building one of the largest residential real estate brokerages in New York.
