Bubba Smith is a storage auction participant who has an estimated net worth of $500 thousand. He is the nephew of Ricky Smith, a fellow cast member in Storage Wars: Texas. He decided to follow his uncle’s footsteps.

Smith has earned most of his fortune through many years in the storage auction and reselling industry as well as the reality television show where participants place bids on the contents of abandoned storage facilities.

Bubba owns a warehouse along with his uncle and they purchase items at auction and resell them for a profit. He is more focused on the technological know-how which is a valuable asset to their partnership since Ricky is not as knowledgeable as him in technology.

Smith is an extremely claustrophobic person and one disadvantage of storage auctions for him is staying in small storage units. He has difficulty in enclosed spaces and his trips to storage facilities are a struggle for him. However, he is one serious art enthusiast and finding each item is a joy for him. He loves every piece of art from all eras and artists, and he aspires that one day, he can start his own art gallery.
