Casey Nezhoda and Rene Nezhoda from Storage Wars- Their Net Worth
The Bargain hunters, Casey Nezhoda and Rene Nezhoda, always drive a hard bargain. A part of the reality TV series Storage Wars, the Nezhoda couple, are amongst some of the big players in the game. The pair are perfectly matched, with Renee handling must of the auctions and Casey covering his blind spots. In particular, Rene is well known for his buying prowess. With a seemingly unlimited bankroll at his disposal, Rene always gets something he wants to go after. But the man is not just some careless spender. He has extensive knowledge of second-hand sales and an attitude to scare potential buyers. Even if someone squares up to him, Rene is usually not the one to back down.
Their Backgrounds
Casey Nezhoda was born Casey Lloyd on September 6, 1974, in San Diego, California. A high-school cheerleader in her early days, Casey has not revealed much information about herself. On the other hand, her husband Rene Nezhoda was born on the April 5, 1977 in Austria. One of the most noticeable things about Renee is his thick German accent. The pair’s fortune took a turn after they appeared in the reality TV series, Storage Wars.
Marriage and Relationship
Casey and Rene tied the knot in 2006, after dating for several years. They had a simple and intimate ceremony, with only their closest friends and family members in attendance. They did not reveal much about their wedding details, but they have said that they are very happy and in love. They have a daughter named Tatiana. They try to keep her out of the spotlight as much as possible. However, she has occasionally appeared on Storage Wars, helping her parents with their bids or sorting through their inventory. She seems to have inherited their love for treasure hunting, and may even take over the business someday. Casey and Rene are devoted parents, who make sure to spend quality time with their daughter.
Casey and Rene have been married for over 17 years, which is quite an achievement in the entertainment industry. They have faced many challenges and changes in their lives, but they have always supported each other through thick and thin. They have a strong bond based on mutual respect, trust, and affection. They also share a sense of humor, a sense of adventure, and a sense of purpose. They are not only partners in business, but also partners in life.
Life on Storage Wars
The Nezhoda pair maybe one of the most recognized cast members on the series, but the pair were not there from the start. The Bargain hunters were first introduced during the show’s fourth season. This was in part of the producers to further spice up the show, which had lost its initial charm. After making repeated appearances during the show’s fourth season, the producers promoted Renne and Casey to main cast members for the fifth season. Not afraid of anyone, the Bargain hunters are always ready to drive a hard bargain. They have bid on some of the most expensive and profitable lockers on the show, such as one that contained $50,000 worth of video games and another that had several thousands worth of art and collectibles. They have also had some conflicts and rivalries with other buyers on the show, especially Darrell Sheets and Dave Hester.
Playing the Second Fiddle
Even though Rene and Casey appear as a pair in Bragian hunters, Rene is the one doing most of the work. He is often the one making all the decisions. Casey, on the other hand, is highly supportive of Rene and accompanies him to auctions. Rene once mentioned that the only time Casey is unsupportive is when he says she can’t keep the jewelry they find.

Getting Robbed
In 2019, news came out that Casey and Rene were robbed. The robbery took place in Bargain Hunters Thrift Store, San Diego. Built on 7,000 square foot, the thrift store is where the pair sell most of their possessions. According to a video released by the pair on YouTube, the burglar smashed windows at 4 a.m local time. They got in and destroyed a few of the display cases, stealing rare coins worth $2,000. Another $2,000 was added for store damage and the pair incurred total damage of $4,000. But thanks to the solid defense system, the robber’s attempt was thwarted.
However, this was not the first instance that the pair were robbed. Back in their early days, the couple purchased Farrah Fawcettâs storage locker. The pair paid $3,500 for the locker, which was filled with collectibles and memorabilia. But instead of finding their goods, the pair were drawn towards a celebrity lawsuit.
Their Net Worth
Casey Nezhoda and Rene Nezhoda have a combined net worth of around $1.5 million as of 2023. Most of their income comes from their appearances on Storage Wars, their thrift store business, and their YouTube channel.
We visited Rene and Casey’s store, Bargain Hunters, in Poway, CA in Sept 2020. We were impressed with their immeditate greeting to ALL customers and willingness to answer any questions regarding their products. We were also impressed that THEY shared their love of Christ as they worked. Yes, they didn’t think of themselves as better than anyone – they were working hard! When I finally got up the courage to ask for a photo, they willingly stopped work to pose with us. They wore masks and asked us to keep our masks on, due to Covid, so our photo will be one to always remind us of the times – Covid time.
