They got a rare joint deal with all five Sharks present: Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner, Daymond John, Kevin O'Leary, and guest Shark Matt Higgins, the co-founder of investment firm RSE Ventures. The Sharks split an investment of $100,000 for 20 percent of the business.
But if the Sharks are investing their own money, are they getting equally hefty salaries to compensate for the risk? The Sharks get paid approximately $50,000 per episode, based on estimates put out by Variety. However, this wasn't the case back when the show was less successful than it is now.
Several social media users are also wondering if the show is scripted. In an interview with comedian Abish Mathew, Lenskart honcho Peyush Bansal was asked if the show is scripted. Bansal denied the claims and said that the show is 'as real as it can get'.
However, the failure rates of Shark Tank participants are much lower. In the most recent seasons (5 to 9), only 6% of participants have gone out of business. And only 20% are not making a profit (but are still operating). So we could say that Shark Tank's success rate is around 94%.
