The essentials
The current $600 million figure is a single publisher estimate; no audited personal balance sheet is public. [1]
BRAK Systems sold for CAD 30.2 million for the entire company, about USD 20.7 million at the March 2000 rate—not a documented personal payday. [2]
Apax bought a majority stake in 2021 without disclosing the price; Herjavec retained significant equity. [4]
Robert Herjavec became famous as a television investor after building his fortune in cybersecurity. The strongest public records do not disclose his present balance sheet, but they do reveal a currency error in the deal that anchors many online estimates and the limits of treating televised offers as completed investments.
This profile therefore shows the current $600 million publisher estimate while separating it from whole-company sale prices, private equity and company fundraising. Celebrity Net Worth — Robert Herjavec · Net Worth VIP — methodology
01 / The breakthrough
From an immigrant childhood to a cybersecurity exit
Herjavec was born in Varaždin and moved to Canada with his family. After entering technology sales, he founded BRAK Systems and built the internet-security company before its sale to AT&T Canada in March 2000. ABC — Robert Herjavec biography · SEC filing — AT&T Canada acquisition of BRAK
The buyer’s filing records CAD 30.2 million in cash for the whole company. Because the filing states its dollar figures are Canadian, the amount was about USD 20.7 million at the official March 2000 exchange rate. His ownership share, taxes and retained proceeds are not disclosed. SEC filing — AT&T Canada acquisition of BRAK · Bank of Canada — March 2000 exchange rate
02 / Family
Kym, five children and a life across three countries
Herjavec married Australian dancer Kym Johnson in 2016 after they met as partners on Dancing with the Stars. ABC and Cyderes continue to identify Kym as his wife. The couple’s twins, Hudson and Haven, were born in 2018. ABC — Robert Herjavec biography · Cyderes — Robert Herjavec
He also has three adult children—Caprice, Skye and Brendan—from his first marriage to Diane Plese, making five children in total. The current company biography says he divides his time among Australia, the United States and Canada with Kym and the twins. People/Yahoo — Robert Herjavec’s five children · Cyderes — Robert Herjavec
03 / The money story
A disclosed first exit and an undisclosed majority sale
Herjavec founded the company later known as Herjavec Group in 2003. Apax acquired a majority stake in 2021 but explicitly withheld the financial terms and said Herjavec remained a significant stakeholder. The later Fishtech combination kept Apax as majority owner and both founders as significant equity holders. Apax — acquisition of Herjavec Group · Apax — Fishtech and Herjavec Group combination
A surviving ownership position can be valuable, but it is illiquid private equity rather than cash. Its value depends on the company’s enterprise value, debt, ownership percentage and exit terms—none of which is fully public. The same rule applies to Shark Tank: an on-air offer is not an asset until due diligence closes and ownership is documented. SEC filing — televised offer clarified
Celebrity Net Worth reports that Herjavec described a six-home portfolio across the United States, Canada and Australia as worth more than $200 million in 2026. That is a self-reported gross property value, not verified equity: mortgages, joint ownership, transaction costs and taxes are not disclosed. Celebrity Net Worth — Robert Herjavec

04 / Now
Still a Shark, still invested, no longer CEO
Cyderes appointed Chris Schueler CEO effective October 1, 2024. Herjavec remained a significant investor and board member and now describes his role as active advisor. This corrects the outdated shorthand that he still runs the company day to day. Cyderes — new CEO announcement · Cyderes — Robert Herjavec
ABC lists him as a current Shark and executive producer, and season 17 continues to feature him in 2025–26. Neither ABC nor Cyderes discloses his television fee, investment portfolio value or current Cyderes percentage, so those figures are left unestimated.
