Pawn Stars alum Corey Harrisonsaid his dad “isn’t made of money,” but Rick Harrison begs to differ. After Corey’s friend started a GoFundMe to raise money to help the 42-year-old pay off the $100,000 in medical bills he was left with after a brutal motorcycle crash in Tulum, Mexico in January, Rick told TMZ, “As far as I know, I paid all of Corey’s medical bills long before he put the GoFundMe out. He is a grown man in his 40’s and is responsible for how he handles his finances.”
Before Rick spoke to TMZ, Corey told the outlet that his father, 60, had paid for at least half of the bills, but that Corey was going to pay him back. “I love my dad to death, but he doesn’t give me s**t,” said Corey. “My dad’s made me work for everything my whole life.”

Now, Rick clarified to the outlet, “It’s always nice to be paid back, but there is no repayment schedule in place.”
Corey suffered “11 fractured ribs, a punctured lung, a concussion, and internal bleeding” according to the GoFundMe, which so far has raised almost half of its $18k goal.
After Rick’s comments, Corey weighed in to TMZ again, hinting that he doesn’t believe his father is being sincere about not wanting to be paid back.
“If he decided I don’t have to pay him back the money, then happy birthday to me. But based on our personal and business relationship, I don’t see how that’s possible,” said Corey. “I love my father very much, he’s always been there for me, and I don’t have a problem with him at all.”
