Jamie Oliver: $400 Million

We must admit, Jamie Oliver’s charm comes mainly from his humble personality, which remained the same even if he’s the second wealthiest celebrity chef in the world. He may have a $400 million fortune today, but he had humble beginnings. Oliver worked his way to the top, working as a sous-chef and a pastry chef before establishing his restaurant.

Success came after he appeared in his cooking show The N**ed Chef. Today, he owns a chain of restaurants called Jamie’s Italian, and his cookbooks are international bestsellers. Awarded a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2003 for services to the nation, Jamie continues to grow his empire!
