Storage Wars Season 16: Brandi Passante's business ventures, including her auctions, explored

Being a passionate auctioneer, Brandi has become a reality TV star. After appearing on Storage Wars, she has now become one of the most popular cast members. Brandi was born in 1920 in Texas.

She and her now ex-husband, Jarrod Schulz, have been featured on the A&E show for a few seasons. It's been more than 260 episodes together on Storage Wars. The duo was popular as The Young Guns, but they are no longer together.

After their split, Jarrod has not been featured on the show since the thirteenth season. Before that, they had also been seen together in Brandi & Jarod: Married to the Job, which aired in 2014. Later on, there were conflicts between Brandi and fellow cast member Dave Hestler regarding the cast members' salaries.

Brandi and her ex-husband started their journey in the world of reality TV with Storage Wars as hunters. With their passion, the duo made it work even though they lacked resources and finances. Furthermore, as they gained popularity, they became one of the renowned cast members of the A&E show.

With their increased popularity, they started another of their Now and Then stores located in Long Beach, California. It was during the show's fourth season, which aired in 2013. However, it was later closed in 2014. The first store, located in Orange County, then closed in 2016.

Getting back to the lawsuit filed by Dave Hester, it contained various allegations, including cast members' salaries, and additional controversial allegations associated with Brandi. One of the allegations was that the Storage Wars producers paid her to get a breast enhancement surgery. The alleged matter has been quite controversial since the lawsuit.

Additionally, there have been other allegations, including how the treasures from the storage units have been "placed" by the show's producers. On top of that, the cast members were also not allowed to resell those things and were supposed to return those items to the producers. However, all those have been allegations.

There have been more allegations regarding cast members' salaries and how they were guaranteed to be paid $25,000 for each episode. Considering 26 episodes, it would sum up to an average salary of a cast member of $650,000 for the season.
