'Taking a spot’: Internet fumes over Patrick Schwarzenegger and mom Maria Shriver’s pitch on 'Shark Tank'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Being on ‘Shark Tank’ might have been a ‘dream come true’ moment for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Patrick, but the show's fans are furious.
The 30-year-old, whose father's net-worth is over $3.3 billion, appeared on the Friday, May 3, Season 15 finale with his mother Maria Shriver to pitch their protein bar venture Mosh.
Maria Shriver explains what it means for son Patrick to be on 'Shark Tank'
The duo pitched for their brand Mosh, and it was the former First Lady of California, who did most of the talking.
"I'm super excited. I can tell you that it was [on] Patrick's bucket list. Ever since that show premiered, ever since he had his own lemonade stand, he's been watching it religiously. He knows every episode, he knows everything about the show," Maria began.
"And he was always like, 'One day, I want to be a judge on this show. One day I want to go on this show. This is my favorite show. I want to be on this show,'" she added.
Maria also talked about how they had to pass through a process to make it happen. After repeated attempts, they were finally able to go through ‘all of these hurdles,’ reports People.
"He was determined, and so we got on Shark Tank," she explained.
"So I was so happy, actually, for him. Well, I'm happy for Mosh, but I was so happy for Patrick because it was just such a dream come true for him."
Mosh is a protein bar packed with ‘brain-loving ingredients,’ and comes in a variety of flavors. The bars also aid in funding gender-based Alzheimer's research at the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement at the Cleveland Clinic.

"Hey @ABCSharkTank. How can you justify having Patrick Schwarzenegger and Maria Schriver on? Nothing personal against them, but I thought the premise of the show was helping small businesses that don't have access to capital? #SharkTank," commented a user.
