Bill Higgins is the longtime husband of New York real estate queen and TV personality, Barbara Corcoran. His lovely wife is best known as one of the shark investors in ABC\u2019s hit series, Shark Tank.<\/p>\n

Bill\u2019s wife began building her $80 million empire in the 70\u2019s after she co-founded a real estate business called The Corcoran Group – a hugely prosperous residential real estate business, whose clients number Jerry Seinfeld, Harrison Ford, Robin Williams, Sean \u2018Puffy\u201d Combs, Giorgio Armani and Diane Keaton.<\/p>\n

To get the business off the ground, Corcoran’s boyfriend gave her $1,000 and she had to borrow a real estate license from a “shady attorney.” During an interview she also shared the secret to her success was the publishing of The Corcoran Report on real estate data trends in New York City \u2013which gave her business tremendous credibility. Barbara also revealed the boyfriend who gave her the money, eventually ran away with her secretary.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when our guy, Bill Higgins makes his entrance. According to the NY Post<\/a>, the two met on the job in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

He was also in real estate and it just so happens that, they served on the same company board of directors.<\/p>\n

For a few years, they challenged each other to get the best publicity and to see who could win the most advertising trophies. The flirty competition turned into love and the couple wed in 1988.<\/p>\n
