The pawn business doesn’t seem like one that’s worth documenting on a reality show, but Rick Harrison makes it worth viewers’ time. However, Rick doesn’t run the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop alone, making it a family affair. But what happened to Corey Harrison from Pawn Stars?
Who Is Corey Harrison From Pawn Stars?

Corey started working at his father’s store at a young age, wanting to learn everything he could about the pawn business. Eventually, he became the manager and even brought his childhood friend Austin Lee Russell, aka Chumlee, into the fold. That turned out to be a great decision, as Chumlee and Corey helped take the business to new heights and make Pawn Stars one of the biggest shows on TV.
However, just helping run the store wasn’t enough for Corey. He had bigger aspirations, and he brought the idea of getting an ownership stake to his father and grandfather. It took some negotiating, but Corey eventually got a percentage of the business and was able to call himself an owner. Sadly, the good times couldn’t last forever, as Corey has dealt with plenty of hardship in recent years.
Since 2015, he’s been divorced twice, and in 2023, he was arrested for driving under the influence in Las Vegas. There have also been some major tragedies in Corey’s life, losing his grandfather, Richard Benjamin Harrison Jr., aka “The Old Man,” after a battle with Parkinson’s disease and his brother, Adam Harrison, to a drug overdose. Corey has persevered, though, making the most out of life and even losing a significant amount of weight.

What Is Corey Harrison From Pawn Stars Up To Now?
Corey’s social media is full of images of him traveling and enjoying life away from Pawn Stars. He also still spends plenty of time with Chumlee and his dad, which is good news for those waiting for another season of the History Channel show.
Season 23 of Pawn Stars started airing in early 2025, and while it’s been fun to see everyone back and up to their regular high jinks, fans have been a bit concerned about Corey. For starters, people noticed his posture was a bit weird on the show, leading them to believe that the reality star was dealing with a health issue. Corey never confirmed anything, though, and everything went back to normal until he made a strange post on Instagram that made it seem like he went to jail.
The next day, Corey returned to social media to reveal that he wasn’t in any trouble. “Sorry for the confusion guys,” he wrote in a post. “I thought you got the gist of the whole post I made last night. I’m not in jail I promise.”
