Richard Kevin Harrison was born on March 22, 1965, in Lexington, North Carolina. He grew up in San Diego, California, where his father Richard Benjamin “The Old Man” Harrison worked in the Navy. Rick Harrison suffered from epilepsy as a child, which disrupted his schooling, and he largely educated himself through extensive reading — a habit he has credited with giving him his encyclopedic knowledge of antiques, collectibles, and history that became the basis of his on-screen persona. The Harrison family moved to Las Vegas in the 1980s.
In 1981, Rick Harrison and his father Richard “The Old Man” Harrison began selling items out of their home. In 1988, they opened the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on Las Vegas Boulevard South (the Strip). The shop grew into one of the most recognizable pawn businesses in America, with the Harrison family — including Rick’s son Corey and friend Austin “Chumlee” Russell — becoming staples of the store.
In 2009, History Channel premiered Pawn Stars, following the Harrison family’s daily operations at Gold & Silver Pawn. The show became one of cable television’s highest-rated reality programs, with Pawn Stars at its peak consistently outrating American Pickers and other History Channel staples. Harrison has appeared in more than 600 episodes over 22+ seasons. He also authored the New York Times bestselling memoir License to Pawn: Deals, Steals, and My Life at the Gold & Silver (2011). Gold & Silver Pawn Shop has become a major Las Vegas tourist destination, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
In 2024, Harrison’s son Adam Harrison died, a significant personal loss. His son Corey Harrison was injured in a 2026 motorcycle accident. Per reporting by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Pawn Stars is set to return in 2027 without Corey as a regular cast member. In early 2026, Harrison warned of a potential silver shortage driven by industrial demand, per Fox News.
