Which Shark Tank investor was born in Croatia and immigrated to Canada as a child?

Robert Herjavec was born in Croatia and immigrated to Canada with his family as a child.

Herjavec was born in Varaždin, then part of Yugoslavia, in 1962. His parents brought him and his sister to Canada when he was young, and the family settled in Toronto. He later built a career in technology, television production, and entrepreneurship.

His immigrant background is part of the biography often discussed alongside his rise in business. Herjavec worked in several early technology roles before founding companies and becoming a television investor.

He became widely known in Canada through Dragons' Den and in the United States through Shark Tank. This detail is specific to Herjavec among the regular Sharks and is separate from Kevin O'Leary's Canadian upbringing or Mark Cuban's American birthplace.
