RACHAEL RAY – $15 MILLION
Rachael Ray is a successful TV show host, chef, and author of several cookbooks. She caught a break when she was asked to do a live cooking show named 30 Minute Meals, which aired from 2001 to 2012. She later landed her own show, aptly named as Rachael Ray. Between her TV hosting and cookbooks, it is safe to say that she earned around $15 million during the peak of her career.
She makes a living outside of her TV programs by writing copious amounts of cookbooks that are instant best sellers. Although she did not attend culinary school, she has earned the status of a chef with her superb cooking. She has invested her earnings well in several investments, including real estate properties, a line of pet food, and even a home décor line. We’re glad to see her exploring different business ventures.
