THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Mike Wolfe Business

Mike Wolfe has created a business empire with real estate, antique stores and more.

“They are filming season 26 and have signed on for another three years,” a source told The US Sun in May.

LAST HURRAH?

Despite Mike’s new contract, a source previously suggested he wouldn’t remain on the show for much longer.

The source claimed that Mike and his brother Robbie were feeling the pressure of their busy filming and touring schedules.

I don’t know how long the show will last. I don’t know how long Mike and Robbie want to do this. I think they would like to retire at some point. It’s been 12 years,” they said.

“It’s a strain on your life. They’ve been doing this for a long time. When they’re around it’s, ‘Ah, we’re on the road again. I don’t have time to do this, I don’t have time to do that.

“It’s love and hate like in any job. Some days you don’t wish you had that job and you could do whatever you want. Some days you get all excited about your work.”
