Barbara Corcoran Finds It Hard to Concentrate with Alex Rodriguez on 'Shark Tank'
Hey, I get it — if I ever crossed paths with Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez in real life, I’d probably lose my cool too. Think about it: here’s Barbara Corcoran, one of the toughest and most successful businesswomen on the planet, sitting next to Alex Rodriguez on "Shark Tank" back in 2017. Talk about star power! The former New York Yankees star, standing tall at 6-foot-3, had everyone in the room buzzing, including Barbara herself.
Barbara, who’s no stranger to the business world at the age of 70, shared her experience with Us Weekly. She joked, "You have A-Rod, all [6-foot-3] of him sitting next to you. As every entrepreneur walks onto the set, I’m thinking, ‘Oh, God, I hope I can invest with A-Rod on this one.’ Next one: ‘I hope I can invest with A-Rod on this one.’” Can you blame her? Rodriguez brought a level of charisma and authority that made everyone want to be on his team.
Jennifer Lopez: A Star Who Commands Attention
Now, as much as Barbara was starstruck by Alex, she admitted that meeting Jennifer Lopez was a whole different ball game. “I compliment her when I say she’s intimidating,” Barbara said. “I don’t mean in any way that she’s not nice. What I mean is she has self-power. She created her own power in herself, and it’s [palpable]. … Without even seeing who’s coming in the room, you feel something.”

But don’t let her star status fool you—Jennifer’s not just about the glitz and glamour. She’s a force to be reckoned with, both in her personal and professional life.
