Rick Harrison – $9 Million

If you are a fan of the hit History series Pawn Stars, you probably know Rick Harrison. The 56-year-old star has been famous for being a daunting businessman, a TV personality, and owner of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, which inspired the reality TV series. From a simple businessman, everything turned out big when he started pitching a show about a pawn shop after being featured on Insomniac with Dave Attell in 2003. Though he failed then, Leftfield Pictures approached him to continue his plan.

Originally pitched to HBO, the program was then taken over by History, who changed its format, and gave birth to a hit reality series that we know today. Rick’s hard work, investments, and everything he has done in between have successfully paid off, making him $9 million richer today. The show has been running for over a decade now, and there may be more to come for Rick and fans.
