☆ 'Shark Tank' investor Kevin O'Leary likely made over 20 times his money on a startup selling genetic-testing kits for cats

Kevin O'Leary probably made over 20 times his money from one "Shark Tank" investment. The celebrity investor backed Basepaws, a startup selling at-home genetic tests for cats, when it was pitched on "Shark Tank" in 2019. O'Leary said on "The Daniel Mac Show" earlier this year that among his "Shark Tank" investments, Basepaws was his biggest winner in percentage terms. If O'Leary paid $125,000 for a 5% stake, he would have made about $2.4 million or 20 times his money, ignoring any dilution. "She's so good at promoting her products, she has built that business 10-fold since 'Shark Tank.'"

Barbara Corcoran has starred on ABC's "Shark Tank" for over 14 years and there's one deal she made on the show in 2017 that Corcoran says has been her most valuable investment yet. In June, Corcoran shared on "The Daniel Mac Show" podcast that in all of her time on the show, the deal that earned her the most money is The Comfy, "the world's first ginormously awesome wearable blanket." The founders of The Comfy, brothers Brian and Michael Speciale, first appeared in season 9 of the show in 2017. In a Season 10 update episode the brothers shared that within five weeks of being on "Shark Tank," they hit their first $1 million in sales and in less than a year they hit $15 million in sales. "They made me $468 million in three years," Corcoran said.

☆ Apple employees remain split on decision to fire exec who joked about fondling 'big-breasted women' in viral TikTok
  + stars: | 2022-12-10 | by ( Bethany Biron | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Apple staffers appear to have mixed reactions to the firing of former executive, Tony Blevins. The tech giant terminated Blevins in response to brash comments he made in a viral TikTok. While some staffers were surprised by his termination, others told the Journal the decision was important to enforce inclusion and prevent discrimination at Apple. "We all know the old adage 'loose lips sink ships,'" Diane Gottsman, an etiquette expert and founder of the Protocol School of Texas, told Insider in September. After he was fired, company executives still planned a going-away party for him — a move Blevins told the Journal he felt was "hypocritical" after firing him.
☆ Apple exec fired after being caught on video joking about 'fondling big-breasted women' says he stayed up all night trying to get the TikTok down before it went viral

Former Apple exec Tony Blevins said he spent all night trying to get rid of a TikTok in which he made a crude joke. Apple fired Blevins over the video in September, after he'd been with the company for 22 years. The tech company, he said, reached out at 1:30 a.m. about the video, insisting he get it taken down immediately. "It was 22 years dissolved in about 25 seconds," Blevins told The Journal. The TikTok video was posted by a TikTok creator known as Daniel Mac as part of a series where he asks people with expensive cars what they do for a living.
