How do you get stars?

Pawn Stars: How much do these guys get paid?

• How much do Chumley and Big Hoss get paid? For that matter, how much do Rick and the Old Man get paid? I'm talking as "stars" of the reality TV show, not as employees of the pawn shop. Chumley is a "star" on this show. So how much money does he get paid? Do the four guys get the same?

• Answer:

  As far as paid by the producers I have no idea and I doubt that anyone except the producers and immediate family have any idea of the contract details. Even if the Harrison's were paid nothing they are becoming millionaires many times over because their shop has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Las Vegas. There are lines literally around the block and long waits just to get inside. They are in the process of doubling the size of the store.
