Pawn Stars Net Worth

What are the "Pawn Stars" net worths?

"Pawn Stars" remains one of the most successful and profitable franchises in reality TV history. At its peak, the show was generating an estimated $3 million per episode in revenue for the History Channel. However, as of early 2026, the series is in a state of flux. Following the conclusion of Season 23 in 2025, the show's contract with History ended, and while "Pawn Stars 2.0" is reportedly in development for 2027, the original "fab four" dynamic is gone forever.

The Harrisons' wealth has shifted from TV salaries to massive equity in their global brand, though as recent events have shown, "equity" doesn't always mean "cash in the bank."

Rick Harrison

Net Worth: $10 Million

Rick "The Spotter" Harrison is the undisputed engine of the empire. While he spent years earning a massive per-episode salary (peaking at an estimated $100,000 per show), his true wealth lies in his 95% ownership of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. Following a 2022 lawsuit from his mother, Joanne, regarding the family's ownership structure, Rick consolidated his control over the business.

Beyond the shop, Rick is a serial entrepreneur with a diverse portfolio that includes a "Pawn Plaza" retail center, significant "blue chip" stock investments, and a 10% hedge in physical gold and silver. Despite the "Pawn Stars" hiatus, Rick remains the face of the brand and is the primary architect of the upcoming reboot.

Richard "The Old Man" Harrison

Net Worth at Death: $4 Million

The patriarch of the family, Richard Benjamin Harrison Jr., passed away in June 2018 at the age of 77 after a battle with Parkinson's disease. At the time of his death, he had a net worth of approximately $4 million. His passing sparked the aforementioned legal dispute over his 49% stake in the shop; however, his legacy remains the backbone of the brand. He is still featured heavily in reruns and merchandising, with a life-sized bronze statue greeting visitors at the Las Vegas shop.

Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison

Net Worth: $10,000

In perhaps the most shocking financial fall in reality TV history, Corey Harrison's liquid net worth plummeted to approximately $10,000 in early 2026. After 15 years on "Pawn Stars", Corey moved to Tulum, Mexico, in late 2024 to distance himself from the "character" he played on screen.

In January 2026, a devastating motorcycle accident in Mexico left him with over $120,000 in medical bills. Without health insurance and living off dwindling savings, Corey was forced to launch a GoFundMe to cover basic living expenses. While he still technically owns a 5% equity stake in the pawn shop—an asset worth between $100,000 and $500,000 on paper—it is entirely illiquid, meaning he cannot easily sell it to pay his debts. As of March 2026, Corey is not expected to return for "Pawn Stars 2.0".

Austin "Chumlee" Russell

Net Worth: $5 Million

The "lovable lug" turned out to be the most financially resilient member of the non-Rick cast. Chumlee leveraged his TV fame into a massive merchandising empire, famously selling half of his personal brand rights back to the Harrisons in 2010 to handle the sheer volume of t-shirt and novelty sales.

Chumlee earns an estimated $25,000 per episode and has diversified his income through "Chumlee's Candy on the Blvd", a highly successful sweet shop located right across from the pawn shop. Unlike Corey, Chumlee has remained loyal to Rick and the production team, and he is confirmed to co-star in the 2027 relaunch of "Pawn Stars".
