The object Kevin O'Leary wears on his neck is a tastevin.

A Tastevin is a small, very shallow silver cup or saucer traditionally used by winemakers and sommeliers when judging the maturity, quality and taste of a wine.

The tastevin signifies his membership in the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, a fraternity of Burgundy wine enthusiasts.

@MorningLover I've often wondered if he "earned" the membership the old fashion way or "purchased" it.

He thinks he's so hot. I say not!

Two Chirstmases ago I had ordered two different dishes from QVC that were Kevin O'Leary creations. Neither one showed up and no one even bothered with excuses.
I was having chemo treatments at the time, was so ill and wanted a meal with my family, and I've never forgotten it. I wrote to his company etc...NOTHING. It cost me over $200 which QVC did credit me. O'Leary told QVC he sent them!! You can imagine my opinion of him. A multimillionaire who didn't have the decency to answer me.
This will be a day I DO NOT watch QVC.

Exactly right. When he is on Shark Tank all the panelists toast, shouting: "Chevaliers du Tastevin," if one of the entrepreneurs have a beverage for them to try. It's very cute and tradition on the show. Kevin often talks about his wine business on the show

Me, to! I know a lot of people don't like him, but I think he just says what he feels and doesn't beat around the bush. Also, he is not the hard nosed person he portrays so much. When you watch sharktark, he often tears up at some of the stories that the people tell. He knows business and he is straighforward. I think he would be a lot of fun!
