Celebrity chefs are a more exclusive subgroup of cooks, and they share a special feature uncommon elsewhere in the food business: a voracious desire for self-promotion. While cooks worldwide may all share a particular love and admiration for food and the continually changing possibilities of innovative and dynamic cuisine.Many well-known chefs have transformed from being merely well-known to being adored by millions of people as a result of the success of the Food Network and popular prime-time cooking programs like 'MasterChef,' 'The Taste,' and 'Hell's Kitchen.' The spectacle of good (and bad) cooking associated with a particular chef's personality and a brand was brought to the attention of a willing—some might say hungry—public. This was true even of somewhat food-related programs, like 'Kitchen Nightmares,' which focused on the business of restauranteuring as much as the food itself.The famous chefs on the following list have all made their way into the public eye in one way or another over the years, whether through their own television cooking show, a number of cookbooks, or establishing a strong name in the restaurant industry. Whatever method they used, they reached a large audience and made a fortune!The 5 richest celebrity chefs in the world are listed below if you're interested in learning which celebrities have made the most of their culinary skills.
