There’s some serious money to be made when it comes to Storage Wars.
The long-running A&e reality TV series first debuted in 2010 and has gone on for 14 seasons, and follows the buyers and auctioneers involved in storage units left unpaid after three months. The contents inside are sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items in cash-only auctions. Before the auction begins, the buyers are given five minutes to inspect the contents from the doorway.
When all is said and done, the winning buyer gets to go through the lockers, and we learn about each of the storage units’ worth as they dig through the contents – and whether the buyers made gains or losses with their winning bids.
Several of the stars of the show have managed to amass great fortunes through their work.

Reportedly, bidder Darrell Sheets (pictured) and auctioneers Dan and Laura Dotson were kept out of some extra episodes that were shot for the current season.
A source tells Radar, "They lived up to Darrell's contract, but then shot more episodes that weren't covered by his contract and kept him out of those. He was not happy to say the least."

The Samurai Trilogy (Criterion) Director Hiroshi Inagaki’s sprawling epic filmed from 1954-56 is an early Japanese Technicolor masterpiece, rivaling the scope of filmmakers like David Lean and Luchino Visconti. Toshiro Mifune, Japan’s greatest actor, stars as real-life swordsman, artist and writer Musashi Miyamoto, following his growth from callow youth to disciplined warrior. The three films: the Oscar winning “Musashi Miyamoto,” “Duel at Ichijoji Temple,” and “Duel at Ganryu Island” are an incredible story of human growth, tender love and sublime, blood-soaked action.

It was "Storage Wars" meets "Hot in Cleveland" (Wed., 10 p.m. Et on TV Land) as Dan and Laura Dotson played themselves on the popular comedy. In the episode, the couple sold a storage unit to Victoria Chase, who was desperate to find something major to distract the media.
That embarrassing Japanese commercial for what are essentially adult diaper-pants made it state-side, and suddenly it's all anyone is talking about. While a painting they had hopes for proved to be a fake, they found a letter attacked to it that may well have been written by Abraham Lincoln. Even more salacious, it indicated that he'd had an affair with an intern -- decades before it became a political "tradition."
A crisis of conscience forced Victoria to keep Lincoln's secret in the end. She didn't want his legacy to be tarnished by something negative the way her own was at that moment.
