Remember Mary Padian From Storage Wars? Here’s What She’s Up to Now!
Mary Padian, lovingly dubbed the “Junkyard Queen,” stole hearts on A&E’s Storage Wars with her quirky personality and sharp eye for hidden treasures. She made her debut on Storage Wars: Texas in 2012 before joining the main California cast, quickly becoming a standout for her ability to transform cast-offs into valuable, stylish pieces.
Today, Mary is still pursuing her passion for upcycling through her online shop, Mary’s Finds, where she curates and sells vintage and repurposed items. While her original storefront in Dallas may have closed, her online presence is thriving. On Instagram, she regularly shares behind-the-scenes looks at her latest projects, travels, and creative ventures—keeping fans both inspired and entertained.
Mary’s heart doesn’t stop at business. She’s also deeply engaged in philanthropy, supporting Ubuntu Life, a nonprofit that uplifts Kenyan women by selling handcrafted goods to fund healthcare for children with neurological disorders. Mary even co-designed the popular “Joy Bracelets,” with proceeds going directly to the cause.
Though Storage Wars has evolved over time, Mary remains one of the most memorable and beloved figures from the series. With her commitment to sustainable living, entrepreneurship, and giving back, Mary Padian proves she’s much more than a reality TV star—she’s a true inspiration.
