A portmanteau on the words “karma” and “business shark”; a karma shark is a selfish person who superficially does selfless things such as charity, favors, etc. expecting rewards. Such a person believes good deeds or good karma should be treated as credit in order to gain materialistic rewards. A karma shark will often try to manipulate, guilt trip, emotionally blackmail, or peer pressure people into doing favors in return for said acts of generosity loaded with selfishness.
