Chumlee On Pawn Stars Makes 25K Per Episode - Drives A Maserati
 

It's Friday and this falls into the "this will piss you off category."

I like Pawn Stars because I think it's informative and I like the history lessons.

But I did some research and I found that fat **** Austin "Chumlee" Russell on Pawn Stars makes 25 grand per episode and he drives a freaking Maserati.

If you think any of these "reality" shows are real think again.

Pawn Stars is about as scripted as it can be. In fact Gold & Silver Pawn is hardly a pawn shop anymore but more of a gift shop selling coffee mugs and t-shirts.

You can tell it's all staged because no one is in the shop when they are shooting, it's always empty.

I know this good looking lady down here in Houston who owns a pawn shop and asked her if anyone has ever approached her about doing a show like this.

She said yes but they wanted to tell her who would play what character/personality. The shows producers decide who plays what.

I asked how does Pawn Stars get all that crazy stuff to walk through the door and she said they place ads in the local papers looking for people to bring in weird stuff for the show. So I guess they're all actors.

Chumlee plays a dumbass and plays it well but dude is worth almost a million dollars because of this show.

Man.

"Austin Chumlee Russell is an American reality television star with a net worth of $600 thousand and a salary per episode $25,000. Austin Chumlee Russell acquired that net worth as a cast member of the History Channel reality show Pawn Stars. He works behind the counter of the pawnshop and has a special interest in pinball machines. The show follows the goings-on at the Las Vegas based 24-hour Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. Austin famously was able to talk a local Maserati shop into selling him a $100,000 car for only $85,000 proving his skills as a haggler. Chumlee got the job because he is Corey Harrison's childhood best friend."

Yeah, **** this country sometimes. On the other hand it is a bit funny that a talentless P.O.S. can get filthy rich.

I know right?

Now that isn't funny, it is downright DISTURBING

Baby Boo Boo.

Not only does he play a dumbass, but he clearly is one as well. If you're only worth 600k, you shouldn't be rolling around in a depreciating asset that costs at least 20% of your net worth.

Woman logic:

See that fat piece of shit behind a counter at Mickey D's...disgusting

See that fat piece of shit behind a counter on their TV...drop wet panties

Bingo.

Should have bought a condo or a down payment on a house or something.

I hate this BEATCH.

Yeah but if he makes 25K per episode, how much do those other clowns make?

Do you really want me to vomit some more?

Hell, I could make a reality show called Rambozo and make Blackbob a millionaire.

Honey BOO BOO is making $15K an episode. Bet there is a raise in her future.

Last I saw, 50,000 per episode.

Chumlee gives me the impression he couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the "c" and the "t". 'Murica.

I don't watch any of that shit.

I watch sports and real TV shows...like Homeland or comedies like Always Sunny or 30 Rock.

Reality TV is gay.

I just need to know if "How it's made" is real...

Please be real. Or else life is a lie.

I really don't either.

Reality shows suck but I like Pawn Stars.

I tried watching it, but wow it was bad, super staged, and corny

The guy's a star. Was anybody really stupid enough to think they don't get paid like it? More power to him. I hope he buys another one just like it so people can whine about that, too.

Why would this piss anyone off?

Chum isn't as stupid as he makes out on TV. But he's still stupid. And lucky.

He's still making money and that Maserrati isn't as much as you think.

Brand new they are $145k and that's assuming he got the best one. I just checked what the used ones are going for and 2008-2010 are listed from $58k-$91k.

Also, all these people on the shows make more money from the shows than they do with their businesses.

In the OP he states that his friend in Houston was going to be "assigned a personality", but gets pissed because he "assumes" Chum is stupid hahah.


What a ****ing hater

Yep this just ruined my Friday night. That fat ****

Oh...another thread.

*rick harrison laugh*

it says in the article what the car was going for and what he paid.

Is 'American Pickers' real?

Just remember- 10 years from now-we will still be working at our jobs and Chum will be the topic of a "remember when" show. Broke, high and in jail.

Then we will all point at him and laugh.
Happy Friday!

shit I wouldn't laugh, sounds like he had a great time

Wow, really? I figured all pawn shop employees were pulling down $600k a year each.

Living the dream. Butthurt much?

Lmao

Missed that. He paid 85k for it because it's probably a 2009-2010.

The IQ level of this board isn't great. Just making sure the slow were able to keep up.

I don't know how it couldn't be. It bores the shit out of me.

No way, so you saying "reality TV" isn't really real? No way dude!! (said no one ever).

Kind of how I feel.

Like, people on this board wouldn't do the same.

Good for that fatass

I know someone who has been on the show. The actual "negotiations" are basically real, but everything else is planned out. Obviously, people aren't just walking through the door with interesting items and the cameras are rolling. All the items and sellers are screened well in advance, and they come back on taping days and do the negotiatons. Any people milling about in the store are extras.

The "phony" aspect about the negotiations is that these guys really are wealthy TV stars now and not pawn brokers trying to make a living. They aren't negotiating for business, they are negotiating for the TV drama.

Nahhh only the ones that live in your gated community.

I don't live in a gated community.

:p

It's always odd to me that people envision the Hollywood Hills, Silverlake, Los Feliz and Beverly Hills as "Gated".

Now some of the homes, on the other hand...

Haha.

Why do you care what he makes? ****ing good for him. I don't understand the hate.

Bingo.

Hatas gon' hate.

It will only make it more interesting when he runs his car off a highway going 100 MPH and ends up in a coma.

Hell if he's living out in LA, it's more likely to be Mullholland Drive.

But man, that's dark.

It was in jest.

That show ****ing disgusts me. A bunch of assholes intentionally lowballing desperate idiots with horseshit offers supported by biased "experts" that have a personal connection with the buyer.

I'd be willing to bet Chum will do just fine. No doubt the Harrisons are savvy about money and will take care of him. Of course, I also doubt if he's anywhere near as dumb as the show portrays.

Agreed.

But they're funny assholes! :D

So he is so stupid he is smart.

No hate brother.

Just the absurdity of life.

Those are terrible implants.

Pawn Stars is alright, I also like Son's of Gun's, it's pretty cool

Capitalism, mother****er!

This is how it works.

Goodell just fined Terrance Cody 50k.

LMAO There ya go.

How much did the family from Little People Big World make for their midget business?

Hardcore Pawn brings a little more entertainment value.

"My kid couldda got killed!

Though I'm sure it's all scripted too....

Makes me think of Ryan Dunn. Except he crashed going 100mph or more and his Porsche burst into flames.

My Maserati does 185
I can't lose wieght
so it tops out at 155...

lifes been good to him so far...

hell yeah YEAH

Great tune.

One of my favorite tunes...LMAO

I love when you idiots get up in arms about how much your redneck reality stars make, never thinking for a moment that if dipshits like yourselves didn't watch that rat shit, those jackasses wouldn't make a dime.

So he has a total networth of $600k and drives a car that's probably around $140K conservatively if you include options/add-ons etc?

I'm sure he'll be rich for a long time.

Let's see. A regular on a popular TV show makes $25K/episode and people are surprised? I'm only surprised it's not more.

oh lawdLMAO

Everyone here for the leprochaun say HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY. I wun know wur da goooold's at.

Dude, there are plenty that think that.

ROFL

someone else either didn't read or didn't understand the article.

The only thing worse than those complaining about a subpar IQ'd autistic fat reerun getting 600 grand a year are people complaining about people who complain about subpar IQ'd autistic fat reeruns making 600 grand a year.

Know how I know "Pawn Stars" isn't real?
Not one single Vegas Crackhead has held up the place yet.

i really dont understand the article....completely way over my head.

Well buddy it said exactly what he paid for the car.

Then you, someone else did it too, speculate what he paid.

So either you didn't read, or you didn't understand.
