Shark Tank tycoon Barbara Corcoran doesn’t like surprise parties, but she sure likes throwing them. During an episode of Boardroom Talks, Corcoran told her host about her ingenious idea to throw herself a funeral on her 70th birthday. The celebration ended up being, in her own words, “the best party of the century.” She had heard whispers of a surprise birthday party from a friend, after which, she immediately decided to take the festivities into her own hands. She lured the would-be surprisers downstairs to a fully set-up funeral parlor. “They walked into the living room and found me dead in a coffin,” Corcoran said. She faked her death, with her weary guests believing she had passed for 10 painstaking minutes. The reality TV star, for her part, was closely listening to everything her 90 guests had to say about her. “How many people, if anyone, do you know who hears what people say about them after they’re dead? I got to hear it all,” she quipped. Her attendees would soon learn the truth after she stood up from her coffin to start dancing.
