Before Walt Disney‘s (NYSE: DIS) ABC network put him on Shark Tank, Robert Herjavec was successful, but not a celebrity (at least outside of his native Canada).
After eight seasons of the hit show, that’s no longer the case. Herjavec has become one of the best-known venture capitalists in the world. As a Shark he has built his wealth investing in a diverse array of products including PupBox (a monthly delivery service for dogs), Mensch on a Bench (a Jewish version of Elf on a Shelf), and Happy Feet (a slippers company) among many others.
