Pawn Stars

Known for making more purchases than anyone else in the shop, Corey has been central to many episodes of “Pawn Stars,” which often highlight his disputes with his father and grandfather (until Richard’s death in 2018) over managerial decisions, inventory knowledge, and high-ticket purchases like a boat and a $38,000 hot air balloon. In season seven, Corey threatened to leave the business unless he received a 10% partnership. He was granted a 5% partnership and decided to stay. Beyond “Pawn Stars,” Corey has appeared on “Pawnography” (2014–2015), “American Restoration” (2010–2012), and “iCarly” (2012).
