Rick Harrison embarks on a new project — made millions from America's most famous pawn shop
After heading the popular reality show, "Pawn Stars" for 15 years, Rick Harrison is set to take on a new project. Alongside one of his co-stars, Chumlee, the Las Vegas pawn shop owner is set to launch a new podcast, as per The Express U.S. As per the publication, the show could be titled "Pawn After Dark", and it is expected to release on major streaming platforms in January 2025.
It seems like Harrison and Chumlee haven’t had enough time together. The two have been working together at the famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop for years, collecting some of the greatest “holy grail” items of the show.
According to The Las Vegas Review-Journal, their new podcast may occasionally reference the reality show that found them fame, and it may even feature some of the popular guests of the show, like Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis, guitar legend Billy F. Gibbons, and BMX icon and The Challenge host, T.J.Lavin. The podcast will reportedly feature Tracy Whitaker, who worked as an executive producer of Pawn Stars, for over a decade.
Nevertheless, it is a new chapter in life for the TV stars who have been long favorites on the History Channel. Harrison's shop and the show's popularity over the years significantly boosted his net worth and the new venture is expected to take it further.
American business owner and reality TV personality Rick Harrison boasts a net worth of $9 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. As a member of the Harrison family, he is affiliated with the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The family gained widespread recognition through their involvement in the reality TV series "Pawn Stars" which chronicles the amusing events within the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop.

Harrison has owned the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, prominently showcased on the History series "Pawn Stars" since 1989. He earned a $100,000 salary per episode for his role on the show, per Net Worth Club.
Around 2005, Harrison and his father were lending out approximately $3 million annually, resulting in a substantial income of about $700,000 from loan interest.
By 2006, the pawnshop gained recognition for its sales of distinctive sports memorabilia. Additionally, it became a refuge for gamblers needing to pawn items to fund their journey back to their original locations, often just to buy gas for the return trip.
