Wow, I love her personality, she’s very honest and humble. This is the side we don’t get to see on shark tank.

I’m now rich, I came from NOTHING. I’m the injured kid with ego to prove everyone wrong. She’s absolutely dead on accurate. For me it isn’t about the money, it’s about proving to the world that I’m worth more than dirt, which is all the value I was told I was worth. To me it’s about winning. Money means almost nothing.

Essentially, she has much higher respect in children who struggled, came from a point of being at the bottom, and yet are pulling themself to the top vs those who were given the money, the connections, the capital and bam, had a business

Go ahead and yell at me, but I am gonna say this anyway: she is also a woman in a world run by men. Not only did she grow up poor, she also grow up in a disadvantageous society. She is awesome.

It's interesting to see how income of parents can impact you as a child. My parents didn't have money until my dad sold the land he worked really hard to keep after 15 years of hard work. He was up til 3am and would get up at 5 on some days. He didn't get money until I was going into the adult world, so I never felt like a rich kid, I just felt I had a hardworking dad who bled for his work and it took years to have something to show for it. At age 20, that's inspiring to me and I hope to do the same rather than get a handout now

This honest stream of consciousness is really something

Ikr, its pretty privilege to assume Columbia is low rated, plus mentions her kids aren't that privilege since they have dyslexic. Her kids are still very much privileged even with learning disabilities. I'm sure Barbara got them access to good school and tutors to help out with dyslexic. If she let them cope with dyslexic on their own and spend them to low rated public school, then her son wouldn't even dream of going to Columbia. I am dyslexic, still struggle with it to this day. My parents are nice loving and supportive people but they couldn't afford to get me tutor or for me to go to nice private school that could help me with my learning disability. So I have to deal with my learning disability on my own. Which is hard for me to this day as an adult. It has cost me good grades and promotions.

The world is unfair and will always be..rich kids will be ahead of anything...but one of the greatest story is when you have nothing then you succeed..your not just become an inspiration but a hero to other...

When your parents tell you that you can’t succeed, you have the F U attitude to succeed. She’s so right !!!

True for rich young artists and poor young artists too.

Sounds like she’s talking about equity….and I like it.

Why are people clowning Barbara? She has come from nothing and I respect her for being smart with her investments . Not every deal that comes into shark tank will be a true success . She’s careful about what she does with her time and money .

she gets it

She goes out no matter what

I don't think it rich Vs poor its more like smart hardworking Vs lazy and no ambition

Also among friends, people who have lesser seems to help greatest. Empathy, resilience, confidence -- you develop that without golden Mommy and Daddy

God bless the child that makes their own ❤

bngr bngr your mixing up upper middle class with rich no one with half a brain would have invested in Zuckerberg because Facebook to start with wasn’t meant to be a public platform and the success was really attributed to the simplicity and usability(nothing predictable)of the site rather than anything Mark did as a businessman, not to mention he has no background in any entrepreneurial endeavors and if he was rich he wouldn’t have had to work during school to get some extra cash. Gates is a completely different story his family to an extent had a background in business and fairly affluent but aside from money he had connections other people could only dream of. You also have to consider the man was a merit scholar; money can’t and will never buy intelligence. Point is if you wanted reason to invest in him you could find some. Many rich people are aware of their place and know that they come from a powerful family and/or known the connections and backup plans that are accessible to them, thus care less or are not as passionate for what they do. It doesn’t matter whether your rich or poor but to be successful you have to be passionate and know what you’re doing and how you’re gonna do it. When you have a family worth billions, attend prestigious private schools with tuition worth more than some people annual income, and you can simply call a family friend and land a job that pays incredibly well it’s hard to have the attitude needed to be a successful entrepreneur.
