Jarrod Schulz was born on the 1st January 1970, in Orange County, California USA, and is an American TV star who became popular as part of the television reality show “Storage Wars”, on the A&E Network. The show presents professional buyers who participate in auctions in order to buy things from storage lockers, the contents of which owners have effectively abandoned by not paying the rent, and hopefully reselling the items for profit. Jarrod and his girlfriend Brandi Passante were chosen for this reality show because they have a second hand store in Orange County. For a long time, the couple played the role of the buyers with the smallest financial capital.
Jarrod Schulz Net Worth $3 Million
So just how rich is Jarrod Schulz? In late 2017, Jarrod’s net worth is $3 million – his wealth has been made less from the store and more from his contracts with A&E Network, as he and his girlfriend have participated in more than 135 episodes of “Storage Wars”, in all the seasons aired until now. Sources estimate that in 2010 when the first season was launched, the couple received $24,000 for 6 episodes ($2,000 an episode each). In 2012, every cast member was getting about $25,000 an episode, which explains why Jarrod’s net worth had already arrived at $975,000. Their salaries grew gradually, and in 2015, the media wrote that the new season had brought Jarrod and Brandi about $55,000 per episode.
Jarrod has lived his entire life in Orange County, although his past includes 16 months in jail for being involved in narcotics trafficking back in the ‘90s. After this episode of his life, he met his future private and business partner Brandi, and together they opened a second-hand shop called Now and Then Thrift Store. His net worth began to rise!
The couple became known in 2010, when the reality show “Storage Wars” was launched. Now Jarrod is not only famous in the USA, but also in other countries where the show has been sold: Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, India, the UK and several other countries in Europe. His net worth has risen accordingly. In 2013, Jarrod opened another second hand store, in Long Beach, California, but about a year later, during the show’s fifth season, it was announced that the new business hadn’t done well enough and he had had to close it.
In 2013, Jarrod participated as a guest in the television series “Rachel Ray”. Then in 2014, Jarrod and his girlfriend launched a second reality show on A&E Network, called, “Brandi and Jarrod: Married to the Job”, which has brought them even more income from television. The estimated budget for this reality show was $3 million.
Besides reality shows and his second hand store, Jarrod co-owns a clothing line, called “Outlaw Apparel”, launched in 2002, which also contributes to his net worth. Jarred is also a constant presence in social media, where he promotes both his businesses and his reality shows. He has more than 4,000 followers on Instagram and about 130,000 followers on Twitter. His Facebook page has been appreciated by 38,000 people.
In his personal life, Jarrod and Brandi have been together for more than 15 years, but even if “Storage Wars” presented them as husband and wife, they are not married. The first season of their reality show talked about a possible future wedding, which is still yet to happen. The couple has two children, a boy and a girl, who can be seen in their television show.
