I turned 35 last December and felt uber decadent celebrating with a salt-water soak in a sensory deprivation chamber. I know how to have fun. Barbara Corcoran, of real estate fortune and Shark Tank fame, has a bit of a bigger budget than me for self care birthday treats; a facelift. Barbara revealed that she recently had her third facelift. And she’s already got her sights set on lift #4 for her 85th birthday. In the meantime, she’s looking into other procedures so that people finally start valuing her for her beauty instead of her brains. Page Six got the scoop on Barbara’s surgical aspirations when she spoke with them at MargaritaCon about her Astral Tequila collaboration:
Barbara Corcoran revealed she recently got her third facelift — and she already has plans for more.
“I’m hoping to have a fourth one on my 85th birthday,” the 75-year-old “Shark Tank” star said during an interview at the Page Six Studio with Astra while promoting her inaugural MargaritaCon with Astral Tequila.
When asked about other future procedures she’s considering, Corcoran said she’s open to “whatever I can sign up for.”
“I’m thinking of enhancing my figure,” she said, before admitting she’s not sure she could “withstand” multiple surgeries.
“I would like to have a bigger chest, bigger hips, bigger butt.”
Despite all her success, Corcoran said she’s considering such enhancements because she wants to be “a different woman.”
“I want to be not the kind of woman [who makes] people say, ‘Wow, she’s great at business,’ or ‘Wow, she’s rich.’ I want to be the kind of woman that walks by and a guy whistles and says, ‘Wow, she’s hot.’ That’s what I’m after.”
But Corcoran’s not looking for new love; she’s been married to her husband, Bill Higgins, for 40 years.
She says that her secret to a successful marriage is sleeping in separate bedrooms.
“I fell in love with [Higgins] again the day I got my own bedroom,” Corcoran quipped.
“Just when that shine is coming off the marriage and you’re starting to see what’s wrong with the guy you married — that’s when I should have had my own bedroom.”
So… Barbara sampled the margaritas before giving the interview, right? Sure, I suppose you could find here some deep, philosophical lesson about people always having their issues and insecurities, despite outward appearances. We look at Barbara and see a wealthy, successful businesswoman, shattering the glass ceiling for women entrepreneurs. But what does Barbara feel inside? “Forget that crap, I wanna be HOT!” Well like the old saying goes: money can’t buy contentment, but it can buy cosmetic surgery. As for Barbara wanting everything about her figure to be bigger, should she succeed then I hope she doesn’t find herself on the receiving end of a tasteless fat joke, like the kind she thoughtlessly volleyed at Whoopi Goldberg on The View a few years ago. Lastly, glad to see another voice chiming in to normalize the separate bedroom conversation. I know this isn’t Barbara’s reasoning, but I say sleep is too important to let a good marriage get in the way. Again, I spent my birthday alone in a sensory deprivation tank.
