What Is Barry Weiss's Net Worth?

Although Barry Weiss’s net worth is estimated to be close to $9 million, he easily gets annoyed, and quite frequently at that, whenever there is a loss of money to him on the show Storage Wars. It is most likely his passion for antiques and his dedicated business sense that ignites such an aggressive attitude in Barry.

Loss seems to be unacceptable to him. Loss does not suit Barry Weiss’s personality.

His treasure-hunting ways have made him a popular and sought after figure in California. Incidentally, it is in Commerce, California that Barry Weiss and his brother Joey Weiss started their wholesale import export business of selling and buying fruits and vegetables.

Barry was into the wholesale grocery business for almost 25 years. He retired a wealthy man.

With his profound financials, it was possible for him to go around the world collecting object old and exotic. He most prized treasures include his sizable collection of cars.

The car he frequents the most on the show is the 1947 Custom Cowboy Cadillac, designed by none other than the renowned Frank DeRosa. The story goes that Barry Weiss was so taken in by the unfinished tribal paint job on the Custom Cowboy Cadillac that he sold his “King of Mercs” (another renowned car designed by the legendary Frank DeRosa) just to buy the incomplete Cadillac.

He took it in and customized and repainted the car as per his will, though retained the basic tribal paint. His other trademarks on the show include the extremely rare-collector’s-edition of a pair of slightly tinted West Coast Choppers eye gear, the white and black skeleton like gloves which gives him an impression of a magician and his slick and polished grey hair.

Barry’s most revered trademark style statement is his sardonic yet aggressive attitude which is the highlight of the show. The show has been rated as A&E’s most successful show as of yet.

All credit goes to Barry and his eccentricities. Barry Weiss has had a fancy for collectibles since he was 15. He had been visiting auctions and started bidding at a young age.

Now in his mid-60s, his passion still has not dies down. If anything, it has hiked up to a completely new high.

The other co-contestants on the show are “The Young Guns”, “The Moguls”, and “The Gambler”. Barry is, by his own admission, the only one on the show who is not in it for the financial tempts, but rather for the delight of the treasure hunt!
