You can, but it is difficult. For the vast majority of storm chasers it is a hobby. Only a few storm chasers are actually professional chasers.
Matt Hughes, a former MMA fighter and UFC welterweight champion, is alive and well. After retiring from fighting, he pursued a career as a professional storm chaser, documenting severe weather events throughout the Midwest. His love for storm chasing remains a significant aspect of his life outside the fighting world.
Warren Faidley became a professional storm chaser due to his passion for weather and natural disasters. He started by photographing storms and extreme weather events, which eventually led to him making a career out of chasing storms and documenting their impact. Warren's dedication to capturing the power and beauty of these natural phenomena has established him as a respected figure in the field of storm chasing.
Most storm chasers, assistant or otherwise, do not get paid at all.
No, you do not have to be rich to be a storm chaser. With proper training, equipment, and knowledge of meteorology, anyone who is dedicated and passionate about weather patterns can become a storm chaser. Many storm chasers pursue it as a hobby or a career without being wealthy.
Storm chasing really isn't a career. Storm chasers mainly get paid by news agencies for their footage which they then air on tv. Many don't get any payment and merely chase as a hobby. Storm chasers love to chase for different reasons some do it for the adrenaline rush, some do it for scientific reasons, and obviously some just do it for the money. You can't really make a career of it. Most storm chasers either have other jobs or are attending college to become actual meteorologists. There are only a handful of career storm chasers.

You don't need to take college to become a storm chaser. I do suggest attending a storm spotter class to better understand storms and tornadoes.
