Net Worth, Salary and Income
When Frank started as a fire inspector, he was never delighted with covering areas from Des Moines to Cedar Falls, Iowa. However, his fundamental nature of collecting stuff led him to pick up firehouse-related ornaments that he found during his job as a fire inspector.
The idea of turning his fundamental nature into a career was born when Frank sold one of his items for $475. After that, he up and left his fire inspecting job of 25 years and started his antique shop in 2002. Frank began to running the shop, Antique Archeology Shop, in Le Claire, Iowa, with his school friend, Mike Wolfe. The two buddies went around the country to collect antique items. Following this, Frank was even able to move his passion into the TV industry.
From his ventures of collecting and selling antique items, Frank carries a net worth of $4 million.

However, there was a time when Frank was not so reluctant to shed light on his romantic life. In 2016, Frank was dating his partner, Diann.
