Dave Hester is best known for his role in the “Storage Wars” show. The American TV personality has worked in the storage auction business for more than 25 years now. The Golden Pool painting by Jack Wilkinson Smith is considered one of the biggest finds in his career, after buying the painting for only $750 and selling it for a whopping $155,000. Hester is also the CEO and owner of Dave Hester Auctions.
David was canned from the show “Storage Wars” in 2012, but he fired back with a lawsuit of his own in December 2012, with the claim of wrongful dismissal. According to the auctioneer, the show was a setup, because there were valuable items that were purposely installed on the storage units. The case was settled in July 2014 and quickly after, he came back to the show. Hester has a popular trademarked catch phrase “YUUUP!”, which has been imprinted on products like hats and T-shirts.
