In June 2013, Rick opened an "Express Pawn" counter that allows people to shop while the main store films episodes, bringing in up to 5,000 people on certain days.
He also told Forbes that he has an investment allocation of "10 percent gold and silver (which he calls an insurance policy) 80 percent in blue chip companies, leaving 10 percent to have 'a little crazy fun with."'
