Kevin O'Leary at Miami (free event)

Hi all,

This is 100% unrelated to sports, but it might be interesting to some here.

A. Who is he?

B. I thought it was the actor guy, who’d probably be more interesting than this dude.

But like a lot of celebrities, he seems to think people want to hear his opinions on other matters.

Why? What possible insight does this prick have to offer?

I’m not a fan of his, but I’m sure he has some knowledge that college students would find useful

Great speaker. Worth your time to see him…x 100.

I always got a kick out of him on Shark Tank. The other Sharks loved to give him grief over his offers that most always includes a way for him to get his investment money back pronto.

He can certainly advise on how to wipe out billions in shareholder equity in a single day.

I think it’s a worthwhile event to host on-campus, and if I went to Miami now I’d want to attend. Even from an asshole there could be some interesting bits throughout the talk, and it’d be a nice example of what not to aspire to.

Timothy Leary spoke on campus when I was there. Farm out!

Always interesting and has excellent insight on upcoming events.

O’Leary allegedly ripped off Mattel Toys with his sale of The Learning Company, and he allegedly covered up a boating accident that ended in the death of a man. Great guy. :roll_eyes: Nice work, Miami.

Whatever you think of him you’ve gotta admit he’s had some absolute zingers on shark tank

If I had a product on the show, he wouldn’t be at the top of my list to partner with, but he’s one of the few sharks who will give negative feedback when he thinks it’s warranted.

Carm - Many analysts warned Mattel about the purchase. Mattel didn’t listen. Horrible move.

So, he did screw Mattel?

Did he?
