Ever wonder what treasures might be lurking beneath piles of clutter in a hoarder’s home? Discovery’s new series “Filthy Fortunes,” starring Matt Paxton, the self-proclaimed “King of Hoards,” aims to find out. Paxton and his team take on the daunting task of cleaning out dangerously cluttered homes, all in the hopes of uncovering hidden riches.
In the premiere episode, “Betting Big on Little Balls,” the team sets its sights on some rather specific finds: a vintage Mustang, military artifacts, and a marble collection rumored to be worth $60,000. The stakes are high, as Paxton assumes the financial risk of each clean-out, betting that the value of the hidden gems will outweigh the cost of the operation. It’s a gamble that could yield a significant payoff – or leave him buried in debt.
“Filthy Fortunes” isn’t just about the thrill of the hunt, though. The series also shows the often-difficult realities of hoarding. Will Paxton and his crew strike gold amidst the mountains of stuff? Tune in to Discovery this Sunday, March 9th at 10:15 PM ET to find out.
