Rick Harrison — $9 million
As the head honcho over at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, Rick Harrison has accrued a seriously impressive net worth. He has worked alongside his father to operate the current shop ever since its 1989 opening, and played an integral role in getting them featured on the History Channel program that made them famous. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Rick has about $9 million to his name.
Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison — $4 million
Rick's son and the next in line for the Pawn Stars throne, Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison has worked at his family shop ever since he was young. Much like his father, he has become a cunning buyer who facilitated plenty of big-ticket deals for the shop over the years. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he is worth roughly $4 million.
Austin "Chumlee" Russell — $5 million
Corey's best friend from childhood onward, Austin "Chumlee" Russell is about as much of an honorary member of the Harrison family as one could be.

Richard "The Old Man" Harrison — $8 million

Richard was an integral part of the shop's day-to-day activities up until his death and a fan-favorite on the show. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he had a net worth of $8 million prior to his death.
