World’s richest chefs are much more than just
chefs, they are brands. Most of the popular chefs have their own books, product
lines and television shows. In fact, most of them no longer actually cook at
restaurants as they are too busy in filming television shows, appearing on talk
shows and running chains of restaurants. Moreover, chefs earn a huge amount of
money by selling their product lines, of-course television rights and recipe
books. Today top cooking brands have also started hiring chefs as their brand
ambassadors wearing best restaurant uniforms.
This is one of the reasons why the worth of the most top chefs has greatly
increased.

working in hot kitchens and wearing chef aprons and chef uniforms, but
