At Insider Monkey we leave no stone unturned when looking for the next great investment idea. For example, lithium mining is one of the fastest growing industries right now, so we are checking out stock pitches like this emerging lithium stock. We go through lists like the 10 best hydrogen fuel cell stocks to pick the next Tesla that will deliver a 10x return. Even though we recommend positions in only a tiny fraction of the companies we analyze, we check out as many stocks as we can. We read hedge fund investor letters and listen to stock pitches at hedge fund conferences. You can subscribe to our free daily newsletter on our homepage.

3. Scrub Daddy
The name might be misleading but Scrub Daddy is actually a sponge company, which on second thought, is completely appropriately named. Its founded appeared on the fourth season of the show in 2012 and has had more than $209 million in sales, while Shark Lori Greiner, who invested in the product, has claimed it to be an excellent investment.

2. Bombas
A company with a social conscience doing well is always heartwarming. The co-founders of Bombas came to the show in 2014, and the sock company came into existence after the co-founders learned about how much socks are needed at shelters. This led them to coming up with the most comfortable socks possible, as well as donating a pair for each pair sold. The company has now done more than $225 million in lifetime sales, which means so many people were able to get socks for free as well in shelters.

1. Ring
Topping the list of the 5 most successful Shark Tank products is Ring, even though it was actually a complete failure during the actual pitching of the idea. When Jamie Siminoff came to the show in 2014, and presented his idea for a video doorbell, he was met with blank stares and a begrudging offer from Kevin O’Leary, as no one was interested in a video doorbell. In 2018, the company was purchased by Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) for more than $1 billion, which is an incredible achievement for any start-up.
