Former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall spent $17,000 on a mystery storage container and was left gobsmacked by what was inside.
The 2017 World’s Stronger Man winner bought the container at an auction without having any idea about what was inside.
A risky move, right?
But one that certainly paid off for Hall when the contents were revealed.

Eddie Hall parted with $17,000 to get his hands on the unit
Thanks to shows like Storage Wars and Storage Hunters, there are plenty of folks out there who are keen to snap up a storage unit to try and make a profit.
One such person was former strongman Eddie Hall – who once drove to a McDonald’s drive-thru in a tank.
Despite having no clue about what was inside, Hall parted with $17,000 (£14,000) to get his hands on the container.
And he wasted no time cracking it open to reveal what was inside.
In a clip shared to his YouTube channel, Hall uses a pair of bolt cutters to get into the container, and at first glance, it looked like he could be set up for disappointment.
The unit had a couple of sofas, an armchair, and an old TV.
However, as he dug further through the unit he unearthed some much more interesting treasures, including a model train collection and a toolbox full of tools.
All of which Hall thinks could pull in around $3,650.
There was high-end car stashed away in the mystery storage container
The storage unit also held a couple of safes, which Hall managed to get open with the help of his trusty tank.
Inside, he found a bunch of sand, but hidden within the sand was a diamond ring, 12 gold coins, and some vintage UK coins.
Not a bad haul for Hall, and it wasn’t over yet – because at the back of the container there was a car covered in a tarp
Hall whisked off the cover to reveal a 2007 Bentley Arnage – worth around $50,000.
The silver car looked to be in immaculate condition, with Hall noting ‘there’s not a scratch on it’.
In total, the strongman reckons the contents of his container came to around $59,700 – meaning he made a profit of $42,700.
Impressive stuff.
