She then priced the same for all apartments regardless of location or size and announced a “secret sale” of all units on a first come, first served basis.
“On the day of the sale, there were 150 people lined up for those 88 apartments,” Corcoran said. “That sparked a shopping spree and I plopped $1 million in commissions right into my pocket… I learned in business that everybody wants what everybody wants, but nobody wants what nobody wants.”

“I worked as a courier 26 years ago. I came, I delivered a package, I saw the view out her door there,” Corcoran explained to viewers on her video tour while pointing to the large kitchen window. “And I said if you ever sold this lady, would you sell her to me? She called me 26 years later.”
from Corcoran net value is estimated to be $100 million.
