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

houstonwhodat · 01-25-2013, 05:40 PM

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.

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.

Bingo.

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

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.

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

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.
