The beginning of 2024 for Rick Harrison (60), star of the reality show Pawn Stars, was overshadowed by the death of one of his sons, Adam, at the age of 39, due to a drug overdose. Additionally, in November 2025 his mother Joanne passed away. But the beginning of 2026 has brought the businessman a great joy, as he has married for the fifth time to Angie Polushkin (42), a nurse by profession.
The ceremony took place on January 3 at the popular Little White Chapel in Las Vegas officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator. Only Elizabeth Harrison, one of the granddaughters of the TV businessman, could attend this special moment, as his son Corey lives in Mexico and Chumlee, his co-star in Pawn Stars who was supposed to be the best man, couldn't make it. The celebration took place at Rick's Rollin Smoke BBQ & Tavern, the restaurant that Rick opened in the spring of 2023.
As Rick stated to The New York Post, "it was an incredible weekend filled with family, fun, and friends. I am very lucky to have Angie by my side as my wife and I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds for us as a couple."
After meeting in January 2024, Rick Harrison took a few months to propose to Angie. He did it in the living room of his house, but as his granddaughters told him that it was all so cheesy and the least romantic proposal in history, the millionaire proposed again at Viña Casas del Bosque (Valparaíso, Chile) with a 6.5-carat pear-shaped diamond from his pawn shop.
Like a Hollywood star, Rick has been married four times before. With Tracy Harrison, he had his son Jake, with Kim two other children, Corey and Adam, and with Deanna Burditt and Amanda Palmer, he did not have any children.
Rick and his father, Benjamin, founded Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in 1989, a pawn shop that became the setting for a reality show starting in 2009, now in its 24th season. One of the most expensive and iconic items sold was one of Jimmy Hendrix's guitars that reached a price of 1.2 million dollars. According to several American media outlets, Rick Harrison is estimated to have a fortune of around nine million dollars (7.7 million euros).
