Commenting on the results of the Celebrity Chef Credit Report, Salman Haqqi, personal finance expert at money.co.uk explains how celebrity chefs are cooking up a storm outside of the kitchen: “Celebrity and wealth used to be the exclusive domain of actors, singers, and sports stars, but in recent years there is plenty of cash in cooking because of the increased appetite for food shows.

“As the world’s culinary experts consolidate their TV appearances, recipe books, and expand their brands on social media, it’s fair to say that the top cooks are feasting on the money they are making from their fame.

“The top-ranking UK and European celebrity chefs top have a combined net worth of £969 million. Whether it’s their hypnotising cooking skills or their harsh but entertaining reviews, celebrity foodies are much more than just skilled in the kitchen”.
