How did Barry Weiss Make His Money & Wealth?

An eccentric collector, Barry Weiss has been collecting antiques ever since he was a teen, a passion that continues to this day. Throughout his many years of collecting, he has gained a wealth of knowledge for a variety of items from war relics to classic cars. Unfortunately for fans, not much is known about his early life, other than the fact that he grew up in California.

In 2010, Weiss rose to fame after being cast in the A&E reality series, Storage Wars. One of the most popular shows on the network, it centres around a group of professional buyers who auction on a number of abandoned storage lockers, based on a quick 5 minute inspection of its contents- their goal being able to “flip” and turn a profit on the items.

One of the original cast members and participants, Weiss made his debut in the first episode of the first season, which aired on December 1, 2010; ultimately, he stayed for four seasons until the summer of 2013. During that time, they were joined by Dan and Laura Dotson, Jarrod Schultz and Brandi Passante, Darrell Sheets, and Dave Hester. Ultimately, it was thanks to the popularity of the show that Weiss was able to become a reality TV star.

In the first season, Weiss spent a total of $8,165 on storage lockers. Although some ended up in a loss, he was ultimately able to triple his money, with a net profit of $23,394 by the end of the season. In total, his profit earned per dollar spend ended up being $2.86.

The following season, his spendings took a huge leap- in total, he had spent $26,782 on various lockers. With this, he was able to increase his profits to approximately $32,800- close to $10K more than what he’d earned from his efforts during season one.

In 2012, Weiss’ net profit from season three was a little over $21,400. To attain this, he had spent over $23,000. From there, he earned another $24,660 in season four, after investing $24,700 in the storage lockers.

After four years on the show, the antique collector quit Storage Wars in 2013. According to reports, Weiss made the decision to part ways with A&E following allegations that “the show is unauthentic”. Although it took a while for them to announce his leave, it was apparent early on that he wouldn’t be coming back for season five.

How much was Weiss paid for being on the show? Allegedly upwards of $10,000 per episode. Assuming this to be true, his earnings per season would easily be in the six digits.

After leaving Storage Wars, Weiss landed his own spin-off series with A&E titled, Barry’d Treasure. Premiered in March 2014, it followed the collector around the United States as he sets off in search of rare collectibles and antiques. In total, the series ran for eight episodes- the majority of which attracted over 1 million viewers.

Aside from television, he also co-owns a produce distributor company called Northern Produce with his brother, Joey. Located in Commerce California, they’ve been selling vegetables and fruits for many decades- since 1938 to be exact. Judging by how long they’ve been in the business, it’s hard to imagine anything other than the fact that they’re incredibly successful.

Barry Weiss left Storage Wars during the fourth season in 2017. Allegedly, he had “had enough” and wanted to leave while it was still popular. After leaving, he went on to pursue other projects. In 2019, it was announced that he’d become the official spokesperson and ambassador for Sherwood Valley Casino in Willits, California. Not only was he involved in television, print, radio, and outdoor advertising, but he also helped with the casino’s public relations efforts. As part of his casino ambassadorship, he even participated in meet-and-greet events with fans.

Later that year, he come back briefly for the documentary Beverly Hills Garage – The Bruce Meyers Project. In April, however, he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident along with his friend (the two had been riding together). According to TMZ, they had crashed into a car that was pulling out of a parking spot. As a result, Barry suffered numerous injuries to his chest and arms. He also suffered internal injuries as well as broken bones. Ultimately, he had to stay in the ICU for several weeks, where he underwent several surgeries to fix his femur and back. He was later discharged, though he had to remain at home for a long recovery period.

Following the accident, he made a surprise return to Storage Wars in 2021; it was his first appearance on the show in nearly a decade. While the show was filming the first episode, he pulled up in style in a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr, one that’s retrofitted with a flamethrower exhaust. It wasn’t until he rolled down his windows that his former co-stars realized who it was behind the wheel. He later followed up with the question, ‘did you miss me?’.The season premiered on November 2, 2021, and ran for 22 episodes, ending on January 18, 2022.

Currently, it’s unknown whether or not there will be a season 15 (A&E has yet to make an announcement). If it’s renewed, however, there may be a chance that we’ll see the ‘Collector’ back on the screen.

What is Barry on Storage Wars Doing Now in 2018?

Not long after his leave in 2013, it was revealed that he would have his own spin-off titled, Barry’d Treasure. Premiered on March 18, 2014, it centered around the antique collector as he traveled across the country in search of rare collectibles and antiques. After eight episodes, the show came to an end on May 6, 2014.

From there, he starred in yet another spin-off called, Storage Wars: Barry Strikes Back. Different from the previous title, it featured him and his colleague, Kenny Crossley, as they added commentary for the series’ past episodes. As far as we can tell, Barry hasn’t made any television appearances since.

Though his presence on television is missed, we’re happy to say that he’s enjoying his retirement from reality TV. In fact, he had recently told TMZ that he’s reverted back to being “a professional slacker.”

Will we ever see Barry on the small screen again? While he no longer has any active TV projects, however, he recently admitted that he’d like to one day do a motorsport show, as it’s something that he’s extremely passionate about. Considering that, maybe we’ll see him return to television in the near future. In the meantime, however, we’ll just have to watch some re-runs of Storage Wars.

About Barry From Storage Wars

Ever since he was a teen, Barry has had a thing for collecting antiques. Initially just a hobby, it eventually grew into something much greater; today, he has a wealth of knowledge that extends from war relics to classic cars, and everything in between.

For many years, he worked as a businessman. Together with his brother, he had operated a company called Northern Produce, that exported and imported fruits and vegetables in the United States. Extremely successful, the siblings earned a significant amount of profits over a period of 25 years.

Following his retirement, he traveled the world for many months (another one of his hobbies, aside from antique-collecting). With time, however, he got bored and returned home. Ultimately, it was then that he was invited to join the reality series, Storage Wars. As it had happened, one of his close friends had been working as one of the show’s executive producers at the time. Jumping at the opportunity to have some fun, he eventually made his television debut on the show in 2010.

Premiered in 2010, Storage Wars follows professional buyers who visit and bid on storage lockers (the contents can be sold when rent has not been paid for three months) throughout California. One of the main cast members, Barry was joined on the show by several others including Dave Hester, Darrell and Brandon Sheets, Ivy Calvin, and several others.

Despite mixed reviews, Storage Wars has always had strong viewership on A&E; for instance, the series premiere had attracted over 2.1 million viewers in the U.S. Known on the show as The Collector, Barry ultimately starred on the show for three seasons (2010-2013), before making his leave in 2013.

Though his leave was upsetting for fans, it was clear to many that he was less invested in the show, compared to some of the other cast members (which isn’t surprising, considering the fact that he was already retired prior to Storage Wars). In the end, it would appear that he had just gone along for the ride; by 2013, he had had enough of the experience.

A few months after his departure, it was announced that A&E would be giving Barry his own spin-off series called, Barry’d Treasure. The first spinoff of Storage Wars, the show followed the antique collector as he traveled across the country in search of rare and collectible antiques. Premiered on March 18, 2014, the premiere had drawn in 1.87 million viewers in the U.S.

From there, the reality star was given yet another spinoff titled, Storage Wars: Barry Strikes Back in 2015. His most recent appearance on television, it featured him and his cohort Kenny, as they shared various behind-the-scenes moments from the flagship series.

Since then, he hasn’t returned to television. In a recent interview with TMZ, Barry revealed that he had gone back to his old job- “professional slacker.” As far as what he’s been up to over the past months, it would appear that he has done much traveling- in fact, he had recently served as a judge in a cannabis contest in Amsterdam!
