Gordon Ramsay tops highest earning chefs
A report in Forbes magazine in the USA has Gordon Ramsay as its top earning chef, whilst acknowledging that in order to make real money, it’s not enough to run restaurants – TV shows, merchandising and other commercial activities are where the real money is made!
Forbes talked to food consultants, restaurant owners and industry analysts to work out how much each chef earned in the year to June 2012: this process included earnings from restaurants, as well as TV, cookbooks, and more.
The result: in the USA at least, Gordon Ramsay emerged at the top with an estimated $38 million. Known around the world for his high quality restaurants – he’s slowly expanding in the USA with locations in New York and Los Angeles – he’s better known to the wider public for his TV work.
