Statistics: Michael Strahan Invested $225k on Shark Tank

Michael Strahan had spent most of his life around football before getting into business. He played all 15 of his NFL seasons with the New York Giants and even finished his last one with a Super Bowl win. But retiring from football didn’t really look like retirement for Michael.

He started working on television and eventually became part of Good Morning America. Michael also co-founded SMAC Entertainment with Constance Schwartz-Morini and built his own consumer brand. So there was quite a bit happening away from football.

Then Michael came to Shark Tank. He only appeared twice during Season 17, but he made a deal during each appearance. The Snorinator was the first one, and then Nampons gave him another investment when he came back.

There was another Shark with him on both deals. Lori Greiner was part of The Snorinator agreement, while Robert Herjavec joined Michael on Nampons. Michael’s attributed part of the two deals comes to $225,000, with $175,000 of that coming from Nampons if Michael and Robert split its $350,000 equally.

Michael Strahan Shark Tank Investment Summary

Company	Accepted Shark Tank Deal	Michael’s Attributed Amount
The Snorinator	$100,000 for 25% with Lori Greiner	$50,000
Nampons	$350,000 for 10% + $0.10 royalty per unit until $350,000 is repaid, with Robert Herjavec	$175,000
Total	$450,000 in complete deals	$225,000

Both of Michael’s deals had another Shark beside him. The Snorinator was a $100,000 deal with Lori Greiner, and Michael and Lori were each reported to get 12.5% of the company. Splitting the money the same way puts $50,000 on Michael’s side.

Nampons was much bigger. Michael and Robert Herjavec agreed to $350,000 for 10%, along with a $0.10 royalty on each unit until the $350,000 was paid back. If Michael and Robert split the cash equally, Michael gets $175,000 from this one deal.

That takes Michael to $225,000 across his two Shark Tank agreements. But we don’t actually know how Michael and Robert divided the Nampons money, so the $175,000 is an amount we get by splitting it in half. And the royalty is money coming back to the Sharks, not another investment to add to Michael’s total.

Michael Strahan Invested About $50,000 in The Snorinator

Lloyd Ecker had been snoring for a very long time. His wife Sue was the one trying to sleep beside all that noise, and eventually Lloyd was out of the bedroom. He started sleeping in a more upright position and that helped lead to The Snorinator, a large memory-foam pillow made to keep the upper body elevated.

Lloyd and Sue came into Shark Tank asking for $100,000 for 10%. Michael even got on the bed to try the pillow himself. And he knew something about the problem because his own father had been a very loud snorer.

Michael noticed that the person snoring wasn’t the only customer here. The person sleeping next to them had to listen to all that noise every night. They might be the one who really wanted The Snorinator.

Lori wanted The Snorinator too, so she and Michael went in together. They offered Lloyd and Sue $100,000 for 25%, and the couple took the deal. Michael and Lori each got 12.5%, which puts $50,000 on Michael’s side if they split the money equally.

And The Snorinator got plenty of attention after Shark Tank. The company reached around $250,000 in sales in October 2025. Sales dropped again after that, but another push on social media started bringing in more orders.

Michael Strahan Invested About $175,000 in Nampons

Joshua Lippiner had dealt with nosebleeds himself, and stuffing tissue into his nose was not much of a solution. He eventually came up with Nampons, small medical-grade plugs made specifically for nosebleeds. They absorb the blood and expand inside the nose, which also puts pressure where the bleeding is happening.

Joshua came into Shark Tank asking for $350,000 for 5%. That put Nampons at a $7 million valuation. Michael liked the business, and Robert Herjavec was interested too.

The two Sharks ended up offering $350,000 for 10%, but there was something else in the deal. Nampons would pay them another $0.10 from every unit sold until the Sharks got their $350,000 back. Joshua accepted.

The $175,000 is what Michael gets if we split the Nampons money in half with Robert. Nobody said that was actually how the two Sharks divided the $350,000 though. So we can count $175,000 for Michael, but we don’t know if that is exactly how much money he put in.

Nampons kept going after Shark Tank. Joshua said having Michael and Robert behind the company helped sales grow several times over. And Nampons says its products are now sold in more than 1,200 Walmart stores. Nampons also says it has sold more than 3 million of its nosebleed plugs.

How Much Did Michael Strahan Invest on Shark Tank?

Michael never had to put up the complete amount in either deal. Lori was investing with him in The Snorinator, and Robert was there for Nampons. Together, the two deals were worth $450,000, but counting Michael’s part gives him $225,000. The Snorinator is the easier one to work out. Michael and Lori were each reported to get 12.5% of the company, so splitting their $100,000 investment gives Michael $50,000. Nampons adds another $175,000 if Michael and Robert divided that $350,000 in half.

The royalty is separate from the money Michael and Robert were putting into Nampons. They would get $0.10 from every unit sold until the $350,000 came back to them. So there isn’t another amount to add to Michael’s investment.

That leaves Michael at $225,000 from his two Shark Tank deals. But $175,000 of that comes from splitting the Nampons money equally with Robert, and we don’t know if they actually divided it that way. So $225,000 works for counting Michael’s Shark Tank amount, but we don’t know if that is exactly how much he really invested.

What Happened to Michael Strahan’s Shark Tank Companies?

The Snorinator had a pretty big month right after Shark Tank. The company reached around $250,000 in sales in October 2025, although sales did not stay at that level. Then Lloyd and Sue changed what they were doing on social media, and orders started climbing again.

Nampons was getting into more stores. Joshua said having Michael and Robert behind the company helped sales grow several times over. And Nampons now says its products are available in more than 1,200 Walmart stores and that more than 3 million of its nosebleed plugs have been sold.

So both of Michael’s companies were still around after Shark Tank. But neither one has been acquired or had another public exit that gives us a number for Michael’s return. We can see the businesses growing, but we cannot turn that growth into an amount Michael has made from either deal.

Michael Strahan Built Businesses After Football

Collection by Michael Strahan started with suits, dress shirts and other clothing in 2015. JCPenney first put the collection in around 200 stores, and then the business grew enough for the retailer to take it to around 500. Activewear came next.

And Michael’s name didn’t stay on clothing alone. His business eventually moved into accessories, personal-care products and other categories. The Michael Strahan brand now says it has products across more than 50 categories.

Michael also started SMAC Entertainment with Constance Schwartz-Morini. They worked with athletes and entertainers, helping them with more than just their careers. There were brands and businesses to build around them too. They were making television projects and building businesses too.

Michael stayed around football after he retired, just in a different job. He became part of FOX NFL Sunday and talked about the game instead of playing it. But television also took him away from football. He eventually became part of Good Morning America too.

Michael Strahan’s Current Status

Football still takes up part of Michael’s week. He continues working on FOX NFL Sunday, even though it has been years since he played his last game for the Giants. And football is only one of the television jobs he still has.

Michael also spends his mornings on Good Morning America as one of the co-anchors. And he has another television job with The $100,000 Pyramid. Michael hosts that show too. He has ended up spending a lot of his life on television after spending the first part of it on a football field.

Michael still has SMAC Entertainment with Constance Schwartz-Morini. The company is still working with athletes and entertainers, along with the businesses around them. And Michael still has his own consumer brand too. It started with clothing, but now there are products in more than 50 categories.

That leaves Michael with quite a few different businesses and jobs. But figuring out exactly what all of that makes him worth is another thing. We don’t really know Michael’s exact net worth.

Final Words

Michael only had two Shark Tank appearances to work with. He made a deal the first time, and then came back and made another one. The Snorinator and Nampons were his two choices.

And these weren’t businesses that had anything to do with playing football. The Snorinator was made for snoring, while Nampons was made for nosebleeds. Michael was willing to go into both of them anyway.

He didn’t do either deal by himself. Lori was there with Michael for The Snorinator, and Robert joined him for Nampons. So every company Michael invested in on Shark Tank had another Shark involved too.

Both companies kept going after Shark Tank too. The Snorinator had some big jumps in sales, while Nampons made its way into more than 1,200 Walmart stores. We don’t know what Michael has made from either investment, but his two trips to the Tank did leave him with two businesses still selling their products.
