Mark Balelo was an American entrepreneur and television personality who had a net worth of $500 thousand. Mark Balelo first appeared on the television series, “Storage Wars” during its second season. He owned a liquidation, distribution, and wholesale company, and was known for bringing large sums of money to auctions, as much as $50,000 at a time.

He appeared in four episodes of the show during its second season, and in one during its third season. He also owned a gaming store called, The Game Exchange from 2009 until 2012. “Storage Wars” airs on A&E, and has two spin-offs, one set in Texas, and another set in New York.
