Gordon Ramsay – $200, 000 per episode

If one were to explain to a 19-year old Gordon Ramsay in 1985 that his decision to attend catering college would lead to a worldwide restaurant empire, being the star of an award-winning reality TV show, and a jaw-dropping net worth of over $200 million, he’d probably tell you to “bug off!” along with a few other expletives.

Since opening his first restaurant in 1998, Ramsay has come a long way in proving himself in the culinary industry, earning a total of 22 Michelin Stars and around $60 -$70 million per year for his succeeding investments. But the name “Gordon Ramsay” only became known to every household when he took his gastronomic genius and added a touch (or more) of his eccentric personality, which was showcased in programs like Boiling Point, Masterchef, and Hell’s Kitchen. It is reported that he makes $200,000 per episode of Hell’s Kitchen.
