CHUMLEE

Better known by his stage name Chumlee, Austin Lee Russell rose to stardom through his appearances on History Channel’s Pawn Stars. He is also a businessman aside from being a reality TV personality. The 38-year-old star surely knows how to make significant investments after starting working at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop at the age of 21.

The shop started gaining traction when it was featured on the Comedy Central show, Insomniac with Dave Attell. Rick Harrison began pitching a full series to different networks with its instant fame until History Channel bought it. The reality TV series Pawn Stars then debuted in 2009. This catapulted Chumlee’s career, too, making him a breakout cast member, not to mention a fan-favorite. With his known comic foibles behind the counter, it’s no surprise that he quickly gets everyone’s attention, along with a massive fortune of $5 million.
