Rounding out the list is OG Shark Tank US Shark, Robert Herjavec, who has invested over $23 million AU across his 14 seasons of the show.
Daniel Monaghan, SVP Content and Programming, Paramount Australia and New Zealand, said: “We’re so excited to bring the world’s number one business show back to Aussie screens. Our five new Sharks come from diverse sectors of business, and their backgrounds and journeys to success are nothing short of inspirational. We can’t wait for them to share their knowledge and provide invaluable take aways to the entrepreneurs who enter the Tank.”
