Harrison, a Navy veteran, first opened his famous pawn shop in the late '80s with a $10,000 investment and used his uncanny knack for valuation to turn that into a multi-million dollar business whose day-to-day operations are now immortalized in Pawn Stars, according to Harrison's biography on History's website. Harrison died after a battle with Parkinson's disease.
