Barbara Corcoran has facelifts every 10 years — and gets ear filler
There's only one question that the outspoken property guru Barbara Corcoran won't answer. Just how much does she spend on her plastic surgery? 'I'm not going to tell you,' she laughed. 'I know exactly how much, but I hesitate to say it out loud.' Advertisement The 76-year-old, who has amassed an estimated fortune of $100 million, recently regaled fans on social media with the full rundown of her cosmetic maintenance. 14 Barbara Corcoran admits she has had a facelift every 10 years since turning 50. Tamara Beckwith/ The 'Shark Tank' had her last facelift with Dr. Andrew Jacono five years ago — and reveals there are celebrity-favorite doctors in Manhattan who now charge more than $300,000 for a deep-plane face lift. Advertisement Corcoran who sold her real estate company, The Corcoran Group, in 2001 for $66 million, had her first facelift at 46. 'I do it every 10 years, that's my rhythm,' she told The Post. 'All of a sudden I noticed nobody was noticing me anymore on the street. I was invisible. 14 The real estate queen sent social media abuzz with her recent Instagram post about her various cosmetic procedures. @barbaracorcoran/Instagram 14 She detailed every treatment she's had — including three facelifts. @barbaracorcoran/Instagram Advertisement 'The guys weren't whistling, they weren't even turning their heads — nothing. [I was becoming] an invisible lady around town. And that really bothered me.' In June, Corcoran shared on Instagram that her list of procedures includes — among other things — 'three facelifts, lower eyelid skin pinch, filler four times a year, brow lift, professional teeth whitening, fractional 1550 laser once a year, and a clear and brilliant laser twice a year.' Also: 'an eye lift, neck lift, ear filler four times a year, fractional CO2 laser on face 1x a year and brow wax' once a month, along with at-home hair cut and color sessions every six weeks. 14 Corcoran said the one secret she won't reveal is how much she's spent on surgery and other procedures over the years. Tamara Beckwith/ Advertisement 14 Corcoran is moving into a new home on Fifth Avenue. Tamara Beckwith/ Corcoran made the bold decision to come forward in the wake of Kris Jenner confirming she had a $200,000 facelift with Dr. Steven Levine (who has also treated Brad Pitt), Kylie Jenner revealing details about her breast implants, and Khloé Kardashian opening up about various procedures. 'Heard the cool kids were sharing their plastic surgery secrets,' Corcoran said in her post. 'Well, the reason I put that post out was because there was so much hoopla about Kris Jenner — and it was kind of like a vote of support, like join the bandwagon,' she told The Post while sitting in her sleek Park Avenue apartment on a recent Thursday morning. 14 The 'Shark Tank' star says she wants to be open about her cosmetic work so people don't feel bad about themselves. @barbaracorcoran/Instagram 'The real reason I do it, and I'm being very upfront about my facelifts, is because I noticed that when you look better than your peers and they know how old you are, it makes them feel badly,' Corcoran added. 'So I did it mostly to come clean right away. I just didn't want people to think less of themselves, you know, because a lot of people don't have the money to keep up after that stuff.' She admits she hasn't always been so open about her cosmetic work. After having her first eye lift she fled to Greece for a vacation with her five sisters and young son, Tom Higgins, because she didn't want anyone in New York City to see her. Advertisement 'I gave up that shame factor on my full facelift that I got like five years later,' she said, 'And the pain was the worst of all the facelifts because I didn't know what to expect and I took the drugs for three days. 14 She has been married to husband Bill Gibbons for 36 years. Barbara Cocoran/ Instagram As for how much pain she is willing to endure to look good, Corcoran said, 'I'm very good with pain, so I didn't find any of the facelifts very painful. 'Now I don't even take the drugs — it's just like, 'Get over it.' But you know what was the most painful? I recently had laser treatment on my neck and I could hardly tolerate the pain for five days. I would never do it again just to make my skin better on my neck. I had the worst pain, much more so than facelifts.' Advertisement Ear filler — what even is that? 'It's so damn smart!' Corcoran exclaims. She uses her ears as a sort of canary in the coal mine: When her ear filler starts to disappear, she said, it's a sign that it's time to get her other fillers re-upped. 14 Corcoran is mom to Tom (far right, next to his wife Lia) and daughter Katie, far left. She also has three step-daughters, Shani, Sandi, and Lori, with husband Bill Gibbons. Barbara Cocoran/ Facebook 'Particularly if I have a season of 'Shark Tank' coming up, I want to know when I should go back in there,' she said. 'The minute my ear gets thin, I go, 'Uh-oh, time to go in.'' Advertisement And while being on TV is a big reason for her desire to keep up appearances, Corcoran said viewers might not even recognize her on the street. 'I don't really wear makeup when I'm not working. I walk down the street really looking vastly different. I like it because I wear a baseball cap. I don't wear sunglasses, but I dress in my most comfortable, oldest clothes I own … nobody recognizes me,' she said. 14 Corcoran and her beloved pup Max. Tamara Beckwith/ 'I go around town, I have no eyes, no eyebrows, no lips, because I'm very fair. So my face really disappears. I can really walk around that way and be very happy because nobody's bothering me.' Advertisement But even when she is going to a friend's house for dinner, she puts on her full face and plays it up. 'There's a different expectation for me,' Corcoran said. 'I don't want them saying behind my back when I leave, 'She's not looking good, Oh my god'!' 14 Corcoran said she once pondered running for mayor of New York. Tamara Beckwith/ Unsurprisingly, everyone she knows asks her about the next areas of smart real-estate investment in NYC. Right now, Corcoran is pointing them toward Two Bridges — the downtown, East Side neighborhood around the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges that she calls a 'phenomenal area' — as well as Queens, especially Breezy Point. Corcoran, who recently sold her beloved Upper East Side penthouse for $12 million, plans to spend her time between her home on Fire Island and a new apartment on Fifth Avenue, which she is about to move into with her husband, former FBI agent Bill Higgins, and their 19-year-old daughter, Katie. New York is in her 'veins,' and she is adamant she will never move — although there are quality of life issues that infuriate her, like how utilitarian products including toilet paper and toothpaste are kept under lock and key at pharmacies due to shoplifting: 'You'd think it was diamonds, for God's sakes.' 14 Corcoran has had a 'second act' with NBC's 'Shark Tank.' ABC 14 'Shark Tank' will return to NBC in September. The sharks are Kevin O'Leary, Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, Peter Jones, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, and Daymond John. ABC via Getty Images And while she admits that Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani 'ran a wonderful social media campaign' ahead of the primary, 'I think that he's going to have a lot of opposition because the real estate community has piled up against him. 'He used word that are like the worst words in the real-estate language: rent freeze. That is a sure-shot way of getting people to pit against you … everybody who owns a building in New York knows if you can't raise the rent, you can't pay for the maintenance. You have to pay for the new boiler, the new lobby, everybody that you have to take care of if you're a landlord.' 14 Corcoran and Gibbons recently sold their NYC penthouse for more than $12 million. Barbara Cocoran/ Instagram Has the colorful, well-connected Corcoran ever considered running for Mayor? 'There was some committee like 20 years ago that asked me to run for mayor,' she revealed. Although she thought it might be 'fun,' her mother changed her mind by telling her that politics is 'such a filthy business, why would you want to get involved?' Still, Corcoran added, 'I'm sure I would win — because I'm a good salesman and I know how to market. It's just about marketing yourself. But … I would hate the job. I would be hate being political. And I have the worst mouth that gets me in trouble all the time because I always tell it like it is. That never goes over in politics very well.' 14 Her 'Shark Tank' career 'justifies my facelift money,' she said. Tamara Beckwith/ Besides, 'Shark Tank' keeps her busy. After selling her business, she missed her work 'terribly' and was thrilled when the show provided her a 'whole second career.' She returns for the 16th season of the NBC hit in September. 'I'm good at spotting talent,' she said of her TV gig. 'How really lucky am I? And that justifies my facelift money!'

Woman Meets the Love of Her Life on Romantic Getaway She Was Supposed to Take with Her Ex (Exclusive)
Sabrina Zohar, 35, dating coach and podcast host, talks with PEOPLE about her experience with the 'butterfly effect' When Sabrina Zohar packed her bags for a trip to San Diego in November 2022, it was supposed to be a romantic getaway. But days before Thanksgiving, her relationship unraveled — and so did her plans. A year prior, a promising opportunity to pitch her loungewear brand on Shark Tank had unexpectedly fallen through, leaving her in a dark place. In the aftermath, she fell into a fast-moving relationship that initially felt comforting but quickly revealed a deeper issue. 'After Shark Tank, I met this guy who I thought was everything I wanted; he was texting every day, we had the cute little nicknames and were doing all the stuff, and this all happened within a month,' Zohar, 35, tells PEOPLE exclusively.'Then my dog got sick and passed away ... and that's when I realized this guy just was not there for me. He would just stand there while I was crying hysterically and say, 'I don't know what to do.'' Zohar initially convinced herself that the relationship was meaningful because it appeared to be a good fit on paper — they texted every day, which was considered a 'green flag' on TikTok and social media. But when her dog died just before their holiday plans, it became painfully clear that her partner couldn't show up for her emotionally. 'I was at his house, and he just made a f----- up comment, and I just said, 'I'm done. I'm not doing this. You're not for me,'" she reminisces. "I left, I cried and I remember looking at my mom saying, 'We're going to go [to San Diego] anyway.'" Little did she know that her decision to go on the trip without him would change everything. Within days, Zohar downloaded Hinge and matched with her now-partner. They eventually went to dinner and 'the rest was history.' "All I kept thinking was, holy s---! Had I come down with that guy, I would have never [made] the decision to say, 'I'm going to do it for me and I'm not going to do it for anyone else,'" she says."It allowed me to be so open to meeting somebody who ended up being so beautiful, and such a great relationship for me," she continues. "But I would never have done it if I hadn't made that one small, inconspicuous decision: I'm not going to let this person ruin my trip. I'm going to go anyway." Today, Zohar is a dating coach who helps others break out of toxic patterns, tune into and prioritize their emotional needs — a career path she never would've imagined just a few years prior. But her journey, she says, is a real-life example of the "butterfly effect" — the idea that small, seemingly insignificant decisions can spark major transformations. Still, that shift didn't happen promoting her clothing brand around the time of Shark Tank, Zohar regularly appeared on podcasts and panels to build her platform. During one event, however, a friend suggested that she start her own podcast, pointing out how naturally she spoke about dating and dismissed the idea at the time, doubting anyone would care about what she had to say.'I had self-identified that if my clothing company didn't work, then I was a failure,' she adds. 'I really believed that I had to do this, and didn't allow myself to leave space for the universe to reveal something else, something bigger for me.' Looking back, Zohar sees the ripple effect of that mindset shift everywhere — not just in her love life, but in her career and sense of self. From walking away from her ex to going on the San Diego trip regardless of what had happened, each choice felt small in the moment, but paved the way for an entirely different future. 'I think the butterfly effect is a small decision that could lead to a larger effect. That's why to me, that one small decision of walking out of my exes' house and not trying to convince him, not trying to keep him and not trying to stay — that one decision of saying, 'F--- it, I'm going to go to San Diego,'' she continues. 'It's a culmination of small decisions that ultimately lead to a total transformation.' While the butterfly effect celebrates small choices leading to big change, Zohar is more skeptical of the idea that people are bound to one another by fate alone, especially when it comes to love. When asked about her thoughts on the 'invisible string theory,' the idea that certain people are cosmically tied together, Zohar has her doubts. 'My concern with [the invisible string theory] is that we put this idea in our heads that certain people are meant to be [in our lives]. What I think that does is [it makes] you force people to stay in your life maybe longer than they need to,' she says.'I've had that [happen to me], where I thought this one guy was my soulmate and [it] was meant to be. It was eight years of this — I held onto this guy for eight f------ years of on and off, back and forth, and he kept getting a new girlfriend.' Instead of clinging to what wasn't working, the 35-year-old dating coach and podcast host learned to loosen her grip and trust the universe. For Zohar, the "butterfly effect" isn't about one perfect, serendipitous moment or obsessing over what's missing — it's about staying present and open to what is still unfolding. 'Every single day means that we're one step closer to what is coming,' she says. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
