JAMIE OLIVER – EST. $400 MILLION

He’s made a name for himself by creating down-to-earth recipes during a time when celebrity chefs were all the rage. This led to various television shows and restaurants, making him one of the richest restaurateurs, according to Forbes. Aside from cooking, he has also ventured into other fields. Including collaborations with HelloFresh for meal subscription services, as well as with Tesco where he created recipes to promote the company’s products.

His investments in the Jamie Oliver Restaurant Group did bring a substantial loss, eventually shuttering up in 2019, with 22 of its 25 restaurants closing and over a thousand jobs lost in the process. It’s a heartbreaking experience, we can imagine. However, Oliver is learning from the experience and is being stronger than ever because of what happened. We hope that he and his business recovers soon. We also hope that the employees who lost their jobs are in better places now.
