Darrell Sheets had a successful 30+ year career finding treasure in storage lockers before joining the popular television series “Storage Wars.” He has made several significant finds throughout his career, including four Pablo Picasso drawings, a letter written by Abraham Lincoln, and a rare comic book collection worth $90,000.

Darrell is known for his catchphrase “This is the WOW factor!” and appeared in 168 episodes of the series.

Controversial Allegations Surrounding Storage Wars Cast Salaries and Authenticity of Show

In a 2012 lawsuit filed by Darrell Sheets’ former co-star Dave Hester, several controversial allegations were made about the cast salaries and authenticity of the show Storage Wars. Hester claimed that Brandi Passante’s breast enhancement surgery was paid for by the show’s producers to boost the show’s sex appeal. He also alleged that all treasures found in the storage units were in-authentically “placed” or “salted” by the producers and that the cast members were forced to give the items back to the producers after filming, rather than reselling them as portrayed. Hester revealed that the average cast member earned over $800,000 for a single season.

Darrell Sheets’ Personal Life

In 2012, Darrell proposed to girlfriend Kimber Wuerfel and moved to Huntington Beach from San Diego to be near her. They later split up, and in 2016, Sheets became engaged to Romney Snyder, who was the founder and CEO of HiCaliber Horse Rescue until the organization was shut down due to accusations of fraud and animal cruelty.

Sheets and Snyder never made it to the altar, and after Darrell retired, he began a relationship with Patty Rich, who owns several vineyards and restaurants. Sheets and Rich met after he showed interest in a boat she was selling. Darrell has a son Brandon, (born December 26, 1983), who co-starred with his father on “Storage Wars.”

Darrell lost 100 pounds with the help of Nutrisystem in 2016, and in March 2019, after three months of feeling unwell, he had a mild heart attack while attending a Justin Timberlake concert. He revealed that he had been diagnosed with “congestive heart failure and a severe issue going on with [his] lung” and he later underwent surgery.
