Barbara Corcoran has homes all over the country, but the self-made millionaire won’t pay for first-class plane tickets to travel between them.
“Shark Tank” judge who made millions when he sold The Corcoran Group for $66 million In 2001, he said in a recent interview that he would rather fly than swallow the cost of a premium airline ticket.
“The way I see it, the bus ticket costs about 25% of the first class ticket,” Corcoran said during an appearance on the show. Jamie Kern show in Lima. “I get free miles and I can give them away. I have everyone in my family flying free miles.”
For Corcoran, being able to give his family free rides is more important than being “comfortable in first class” for a few hours.
“I think I’d be able to do both, but I’m not going to do it because I feel so overwhelmed that I’m going to be on the coach, because I know I’ve got three plane tickets that can take somebody somewhere,” he said. “It accumulates, you know?”
Having miles to give away helps ensure his multiple homes are always in use.
“There is not a single bed in my houses that is ever empty,” he said. “Boy, that’s exciting.”
This is not the first time Corcoran has spoken about his modesty when it comes to travel. Speaking to CNBC Make It in 2018, the entrepreneur said he “couldn’t justify” the price of a first-class or business-class ticket.
In addition, Corcoran said she doesn’t spend money at the airport, opting to bring a prepackaged meal of fresh fruit, cheese and a baguette or croissant.
“When I sit there and open my little gourmet lunch, I’m telling you, it’s so much better than getting someone up in business or first class,” he said. he said then. “I managed to make my specialty from a cheap seat.”
