Big Hoss – Businessman

Richard Corey Harrison, popularly known as “Big Hoss,” is not just a TV personality but also a real businessman in life. Big Hoss rose to fame as a reality television personality in the television series Pawn Stars, where he showcased his daily transactions of gold and silver and even antiques. He was a heavyweight, but he had a dramatic weight loss after getting a gastric lap band surgery and a diet change. From 365 pounds, his weight went down to 250 pounds. During season 6 of his show, he had issues with his family business.

He threatened his father and grandfather, who often questioned his abilities, that he would take a job at another company if they didn’t give him a 10% partnership in the shop. After a raise and getting a 5% partnership, Harrison stayed in his family’s business. Jewelry is a good investment, so he made the right call.
