According to Forbes magazine, TV chef Gordon Ramsay, pictured here celebrating with the winner of "Hell's Kitchen", Christina Machamer, is now the third top earning celebrity chef, earning $7.5 million a year. Ramsay's wealth is down to his books, restaurants and hugely popular shows, "Hell's Kitchen" in the USA and "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" in the UK.
The top 10 celebrity chefs are:
-
Rachael Ray with $18 million
-
Wolfgang Puck, $16 million
-
Gordon Ramsay, $7.5 million
-
Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, $5 million
-
Alain Ducasse, $5 million
-
Paula Deen, $4.5 million
-
Mario Batali, $3 million
-
Tom Colicchio, $2 million
-
Bobby Flay, $1.5 million
-
Anthony Bourdain, $1.5 million
Rachael Ray can attribute her great wealth to a lucrative deal with Dunkin' Donuts and a syndicated TV show, Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, who comes just behind Ramsay, is known for his Nobu restaurants and Anthony Bourdain, known for his "bad boy" style of cooking, comes in tenth place in the list.
