Why Barbara Corcoran wants advice from Kim Kardashian

Barbara Corcoran wants lessons from a Kardashian.

The “Shark Tank” star, 72, heaped praise on Kim Kardashian at an event in Union Square when a fan asked who she’d like to get advice from, an attendee told Page Six.

“Kim Kardashian, because Kim is doing great on business and in life,” Corcoran responded between doling out advice of her own to promote her “Business Unusual” podcast.

Listeners usually call 888-BAR-BARA to ask the real estate mogul to answer questions on her podcast, but for the pop-up event, Corcoran designed and set up a phone booth from which fans could ask her for advice live and in person.

“She was dishing out advice on relationships, real estate, running small businesses. She also read people Tarot cards,” the insider said.

Corcoran said she chose the downtown plaza over Times Square because she wanted access to more real New Yorkers instead of tourists.

Tired of being cooped up in her apartment, the businesswoman took to the streets to connect with people after getting her COVID-19 vaccine.

“She felt more comfortable to do it with people. It was safe, and she also wanted to prove New York is not dead,” the source said.

Unfortunately, it was a balmy afternoon, which left Corcoran “sweating off her makeup” in the hot booth.

Cocoran is taking her act to Los Angeles next week, where she will appear on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” for the first time.

“She’s always wanted to do ‘Ellen.’ She hopes she will make a TikTok video with her,” the source said.
