Barbara Corcoran is an American real
estate investor and real estate
correspondent for NBC. Barbara's
credentials include straight D's in high
school and college and twenty jobs by
the time she turned twenty-three.
It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she took a $1000 loan to start The Corcoran Group. She parlayed that loan into a five-billion-dollar real estate business, which she sold in 2001 for $70 million.
Barbara didn't have many material advantages as a child. She shared her bedroom and socks with five sisters. Yet she grew up to have plenty of self-confidence
