What Are The 10 Most Successful Shark Tank Companies?

For more than a decade, "Shark Tank" has given entrepreneurs the rare opportunity to pitch their products to a panel of self-made millionaires and billionaires — and, more importantly, to millions of potential customers watching at home. While plenty of hopefuls have left the Tank empty-handed, a select few walked away with investments that transformed their small businesses into massive national brands. Some even turned a few minutes of primetime television exposure into billion-dollar empires.

These companies didn't just strike good deals; they executed brilliantly after the cameras stopped rolling. Whether selling socks, sponges, or at-home lab kits, the most successful Shark Tank ventures have proven that the right mix of vision, timing, and marketing can turn a simple idea into a household name. Collectively, these ten brands have generated tens of billions of dollars in sales — and created a playbook for how reality TV exposure can launch enduring business success.

Here's a look at the ten most successful U.S.-based "Shark Tank" companies, ranked primarily by total revenue and valuation, with a nod to their cultural and philanthropic impact.

1. Bombas – Comfort Socks Turned Sales Juggernaut

Bombas stands as the single most financially successful product in "Shark Tank" history. Founded in 2013 with a buy-one, give-one model, the company has surpassed $2 billion in lifetime sales as of 2025. Daymond John invested $200,000 for 17.5% during Season 6 — a stake that's now worth a fortune. Bombas reported roughly $325 million in 2024 revenue and continues to expand beyond socks into T-shirts, underwear, and loungewear. Its mission-driven approach has resulted in over 140 million clothing donations to homeless shelters, cementing Bombas as both a commercial and social impact powerhouse.

2. Scrub Daddy – Smile-Faced Sponge Cleans Up

Aaron Krause's smiling sponge became an instant Shark Tank classic after Lori Greiner invested $200,000 for 20%. The temperature-sensitive cleaning sponge that changes texture with water heat has since evolved into a massive cleaning brand with more than 160 products. Scrub Daddy products are now sold in over 250,000 retail stores worldwide, with annual revenues exceeding $220 million and lifetime sales topping $1.4 billion. The brand's cheerful personality, viral marketing, and perfect "TV-demo" appeal made it one of the most recognizable consumer goods to ever come out of the Tank.

3. Everlywell – At-Home Lab Tests Hit $1B+ Sales

Julia Cheek's Everlywell redefined home diagnostics after securing a $1 million line of credit from Lori Greiner in Season 9. The Austin-based startup exploded in popularity during the pandemic, offering FDA-authorized at-home COVID-19 tests alongside its range of wellness kits. Everlywell has now surpassed $1.4 billion in total sales and grown into Everly Health through strategic acquisitions. Its valuation reportedly exceeds a billion dollars, making it another crown jewel in Lori Greiner's portfolio — and proof that the right health-tech idea can turn into a blockbuster.

4. Cousins Maine Lobster – From Food Truck to $1 Billion Brand

Cousins Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis turned a single lobster roll food truck into a nationwide franchise empire after landing $55,000 from Barbara Corcoran in Season 4. By 2025, Cousins Maine Lobster surpassed $1 billion in cumulative systemwide sales. With more than 20 trucks across 30+ U.S. markets and several restaurant locations, the brand's success lies in its authenticity — real Maine lobster, family roots, and smart franchising. Plans to reach 100 franchise units by the end of 2025 show that the brand's growth is still rolling.

5. The Comfy – A Cozy Clothing Sensation

The Comfy's oversized wearable blanket became an instant hit after Barbara Corcoran invested $50,000 for 30% in Season 9. By 2023, the product had generated over $550 million in sales, powered by viral social media marketing and huge Q4 demand. Despite internal ownership changes, the company remains a dominant force in comfort apparel, expanding into children's and licensed designs. Few products embody the power of Shark Tank visibility more perfectly than The Comfy — a simple, cozy idea that turned into a global sensation.

6. Squatty Potty – Toilet Stool Goes Mainstream

Lori Greiner's $300,000 investment in Squatty Potty turned bathroom humor into serious business. The ergonomic toilet stool went viral thanks to a hilarious ad featuring a unicorn pooping rainbow ice cream, helping drive over $33 million in annual sales at its peak. By 2023, cumulative sales exceeded $260 million, and in 2021, the founders sold the company to consumer products firm Aterian, Inc. for roughly $32 million. More importantly, Squatty Potty created and dominated an entirely new product category — a rare feat for any Shark Tank company.

7. Dude Wipes – Flushing All the Way to the Bank

Mark Cuban's $300,000 investment in Dude Wipes has paid off handsomely. What started as flushable wipes "for dudes" has evolved into a $341 million-a-year business, now sold in Walmart, Target, and Amazon. The company rode the wave of male grooming culture with irreverent marketing and clever branding. Dude Products has since expanded into a full line of hygiene items and partnered with awareness campaigns, making it one of Cuban's best-performing Shark Tank bets and one of the show's biggest breakout brands.

8. Ring – The Billion-Dollar "Reject"

Perhaps the most famous Shark Tank "miss" of all time, Ring — originally pitched as Doorbot — was rejected by the Sharks in Season 5. Founder Jamie Siminoff pressed on, rebranding and eventually selling the smart doorbell company to Amazon for an estimated $1 billion in 2018. The deal instantly made Ring one of the show's most valuable alumni, despite never securing an investment on air. Today, Ring is synonymous with smart home security, proving that even a "no" on Shark Tank can lead to a billion-dollar payday.

9. Tipsy Elves – Ugly Sweaters, Pretty Profits

Evan Mendelsohn and Nick Morton's quirky apparel brand turned ugly Christmas sweaters into a multi-million-dollar empire. With Robert Herjavec's $100,000 investment, Tipsy Elves grew from $600,000 in early sales to more than $50 million in annual revenue at its peak. By 2023, lifetime sales had exceeded $125 million. The company smartly expanded beyond Christmas into Halloween, ski wear, and patriotic attire, building a year-round novelty brand. It remains one of Herjavec's most profitable Shark Tank investments — and one of the show's most culturally recognizable.

10. Plated – Meal Kits' Tasty $200M Exit

Though Mark Cuban's on-air deal for Plated fell apart, the meal-kit startup's founders didn't need a Shark to succeed. They capitalized on the early meal delivery boom, raised venture funding, and eventually sold to grocery giant Albertsons in 2017 for $175–200 million. The acquisition put Plated meal kits in thousands of stores nationwide and validated the company's brand well beyond its Shark Tank moment. Even without an active deal, Plated stands as a prime example of how Shark Tank exposure alone can lead to massive outcomes.

The Legacy of Shark Tank's Biggest Winners

From $50,000 seed checks to billion-dollar exits, these ten companies show that "Shark Tank" is far more than entertainment. It's a launchpad that, when paired with relentless execution and smart marketing, can turn a simple idea into generational wealth. Whether through social good, viral marketing, or pure persistence, these brands represent the ultimate Shark Tank dream: transforming a few minutes in the Tank into millions — or billions — in the real world.
