Storage Wars: Brandi Passante's Age, Job, Instagram & More (2024)

Storage Wars star Brandi Passante looks impressively beautiful for her age. Brandi, alongside her ex-partner Jarrod Schultz, became one of the most famous reality TV couples when they made their debut in Storage Wars season 1 in 2010. After its premiere, Storage Wars quickly became one of the most popular reality TV series due to its premise where buyers try to outbid one another on abandoned units with hopes that those units will contain hidden treasures. Brandi and Jarrod, nicknamed the "Young Guns" for being the youngest bidders on the show, stole the hearts of fans for their entertaining bidding skills, earning them their spin-off series, Brandi and Jarrod: Married to the Job in 2014.

The couple appeared on the show alongside their kids, Cameron and Payton, but the spin-off was disappointing, ending after eight episodes. However, after the cancelation of the spin-off series, Jarrod and Brandi also surprisingly separated in 2018 but continued working together till 2020. Meanwhile, Brandi returned for Storage Wars season 15 in 2023, becoming the only star to have appeared in every season of the show. However, Brandi hasn't appeared on-screen since the Storage Wars season 15 finale despite being one of the show's youngest stars.

Brandi Passante's Age

Storage Wars star Brandi is 44 years old. Brandi was born on May 16, 1980, in Harris County, Texas, but grew up in California. (via The List) Brandi had a pretty tough childhood growing up around brothers who used to beat her up. However, that experience toughened her up to be able to survive in a male-dominated industry, which ultimately helped her career. Brandi was also timid as a child and always gave everyone dirty looks. Nonetheless, despite the tumultuous upbringing, Brandi found solace in being funny, which she explained was all she had.

Brandi Passente's Job

Brandi started her career working at a carpet cleaning company in Tustin, California, which she joined in 1999. Coincidentally, it was at the company she met Jarrod, who was also working at the company in a sales managerial capacity. After leaving the company, Brandi opened her thrift store "Now and Then", and running the business was her full-time job until she and Jarrod got signed to appear in Storage Wars. Unlike some of their Storage Wars co-stars, Brandi didn't know much about storage auctions and had to learn as the show progressed.

However, she soon became an expert in the industry, evolving into one of the stars of Storage Wars. Meanwhile, Brandi and Jarrod's participation in Storage Wars also positively impacted sales at their thrift store, and in 2013 they opened another branch in Long Beach, California. After separating from Jarrod, Brandi became more involved in charity, working with organizations like “Women's Own Worth,” a nonprofit dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence. In 2019, Bandi helped the organization raise $100,000 after serving as the emcee at their "WOWapalooza" event.
