Ricky Smith, a Texas native and recent reality TV celebrity, has a net worth of $2 million.
He has amassed a considerable amount of wealth through his involvement in storage auctions, which is also the subject of the reality TV show Storage Wars: Texas.
Smith has been involved in storage auctions since his early years, and unlike some of the other participants on the show, he grew up around his parents’ auction house.
This gives him a breadth of experience that many in the industry are not able to attain.
Despite his long-standing involvement in storage auctions, he occasionally laments the influx of newcomers to the industry, which can be attributed in part to the success of reality TV shows like Storage Wars.
Ricky’s attitude towards interlopers is summed up by a quote that suggests it’s only a matter of time before tourists squander their money and move on.
