With over 300 episodes spanning 22 seasons, “American Pickers” stands as one of The History Channel’s most beloved programs. Apart from his on-screen presence, Wolfe is the mastermind behind the show, serving as its creator and executive producer.

Beyond television, Wolfe’s endeavors extend into various realms. In 2012, he inked an endorsement pact with Indian Motorcycles and crafted a sitcom picked up by CBS.

Moreover, his cameo appearance as himself on “NCIS” in 2018 further solidified his presence in the entertainment sphere. Wolfe has also shared his expertise through literature, penning the books “American Pickers Guide to Picking” (2011) and “Kid Pickers: How to Turn Junk into Treasure” (2013).

According to the court documents, Mike will pay Jodi $28,000 in one payment in December 2021 for his work on Season 10 of American Pickers.

Jodi will receive 40 percent of Mike’s post-tax royalties for seasons 1-10 of American Pickers from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2026. Mike retains ownership of his store Antique Archaeology Nashville, their businesses JCM Investments and MRW Inc., and Mossy Point Productions.

Starting from January 1, 2022, Jodi will handle her medical insurance independently, and she opted not to restore her maiden name.

CUSTODY AGREEMENT

Jodi is the primary residential parent for their 9-year-old daughter, Charlie, with custody for 230.5 days per year, while Mike has her for 134.5 days. Mike is required to pay $2,100 monthly in child support and provide medical and dental insurance for Charlie.

Due to Mike’s commitments on American Pickers, he must inform Jodi in writing if he can’t fulfill his scheduled parenting time for up to four consecutive days. They share joint decision-making regarding Charlie’s education, religious upbringing, non-emergency healthcare, and extracurricular activities.

FRANK’S FIRING

Mike Wolfe now co-stars with Danielle Colby on American Pickers after long-time co-star Frank Fritz was fired from the series. Frank, aged 57, last appeared on the show in March 2020 before taking time off for back surgery, which resulted in 185 stitches and two spinal rods.

During his hiatus, Frank lost 65 pounds and underwent a healthier lifestyle, including sobriety from alcohol. He spent 77 days in rehab for alcohol addiction in Iowa and has been sober for 11 months.

Despite Frank’s desire to return, Mike announced his dismissal from the show on Instagram in July. Frank expressed feeling neglected by Mike, mentioning their lack of communication for two years. He also remarked on the show’s favoritism towards Mike.

“That’s okay. It’s like having Aerosmith, with Steven Tyler as the frontman. I’ve found my place; I’m second, and he’s the star of the show. That’s perfectly fine with me; maybe he has an issue with it.”

Frank retains ownership of his Illinois store, Frank Fritz Finds, and lives in his hometown of Iowa.
