When The Old Man Richard Harrison, the beloved patriarch of Pawn Stars, passed away in 2018, fans around the world mourned the loss of a reality TV legend. But behind the tears and tributes, a shocking truth emerged — his death left Corey Harrison, better known as “Big Hoss,” with a fortune and a collection of jaw-dropping treasures that few even knew existed.
Now, years later, details of the inheritance have surfaced — and what Corey received after his grandfather’s passing is nothing short of extraordinary. While many assumed the pawn shop itself was the crown jewel, the real story is far more intriguing… and a little controversial.
Here are the 9 shocking things Corey Harrison inherited that changed his life forever:
-
A Multi-Million Dollar Stake in the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop
The world-famous Las Vegas pawn shop wasn’t just a TV set — it was a cash machine. Corey inherited a major share of the business, solidifying his place as one of the wealthiest reality TV personalities alive. -
A Secret Vault Full of Gold and Rare Coins
Tucked away in a private section of the shop, Corey discovered a safe loaded with rare collectible coins and gold bars — worth well over $2 million. -
Richard Harrison’s Private Car Collection
Few knew “The Old Man” was a car enthusiast. From a fully restored 1966 Imperial Crown to a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado, Corey now owns some of the rarest vintage rides in Vegas. -
The Original Pawn Shop Ledger from 1981
This priceless handwritten book contains the first-ever transactions made at Gold & Silver Pawn — including the very first $10 loan that started it all. -
An Antique Firearms Collection
Among his inheritance were Civil War-era rifles and 19th-century revolvers — items that would make any historian’s jaw drop. -
A Hidden Real Estate Empire
The Old Man quietly invested in Las Vegas property for decades. Corey now controls a network of rental homes and commercial buildings — reportedly valued at over $10 million. -
Unreleased Pawn Stars Footage and Contracts
The Harrison family kept exclusive rights to hundreds of hours of unaired footage and deals with History Channel — ensuring Corey’s name stays tied to the show’s legacy forever. -
The Old Man’s Rolex Collection
A symbol of class and precision, the collection includes a 1963 Submariner gifted by a retired Navy Admiral — now worth over $150,000. -
A Handwritten Letter and His Grandfather’s Final Words
Perhaps the most touching inheritance — a letter The Old Man left for Corey, expressing pride, gratitude, and one simple piece of advice: “Never let the shop change you, son.”
Though the inheritance made Corey wealthier than ever, insiders say it came with immense pressure. “He’s carrying the Harrison legacy now,” one source revealed. “And that’s worth more than any amount of gold.”
Richard Harrison’s passing marked the end of an era — but for Corey, it was the beginning of a new chapter filled with money, memories, and the heavy weight of his grandfather’s name.
