Season 14 of Shark Tank will begin on September 23, with numerous business titans serving as Sharks. Daymond John, a businessman, fashion designer, author, and television personality with a net worth of $350 million as of April 2023, is one of them. Shark Tank highlights aspiring entrepreneurs pitching their company ideas to the Sharks in the hopes of securing an investment. If the Sharks appreciate the contestant’s proposal, they opt to assist them to build their business.
According to the official Shark Tank synopsis:
“The Sharks provide aspiring entrepreneurs with the opportunity to negotiate commercial agreements that might make them billionaires.”
Shark Tank’s Daymond John conducts an online training program for entrepreneurs.
Daymond was ten years old when his parents divorced in Brooklyn, New York. As a result, he began taking odd jobs to support his family. One of his first occupations was giving out brochures for $2 per hour. Following that, he took part in a high school program that enabled him to work full-time and complete his schooling on an alternative timetable.
After graduation, he worked as a server at Red Lobster and launched a commuter van business. He founded FUBU, an abbreviation that stands for “For Us By Us,” in his mother’s home in Queens when he was 20 years old. His businesses combined his passions for hip-hop and fashion. Furthermore, the concept was aimed toward youthful and urban clientele. As a result of his son’s love and attention to fashion, his mother mortgaged her home in order to obtain $100,000 in beginning financing. With this, the Shark Tank judge began selling a large quantity of screen-printed T-shirts.
Display of Power, The Brand Within, The Power of Broke, and Rise & Grind: Outperform, Outwork, and Outhustle Your Way to a More Successful and Rewarding Life are just a few of John’s works. His novels have been on the best-seller lists of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. The NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Instructional Literary Work was given to The Power of Broke. Notably, John served as executive producer on the 2005 picture The Crow: Wicked Prayer. He is the founder and current CEO of The Shark Group, a consultancy and brand management agency, and a Shopify brand ambassador.
He co-founded Daymond John’s Success Formula in 2015, a program that teaches entrepreneurs how to build their companies. In 2019, he rebranded his curriculum as Next Level Success. Daymond on Demand is an online training program for entrepreneurs offered by businessmen.

The Shark Tank Judge has received several honors, including NAACP Entrepreneur of the Year, Ernst & Young’s New York Entrepreneur of the Year, and two Congressional Achievement Awards for Entrepreneurship.

Furthermore, John received Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Structured Reality Program in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. In terms of his family, John has two kids from his previous marriage, Destiny, and Yasmeen. He married Heather Taras in 2018, and the couple had a daughter, Minka Jagger.
