They're the most famous people in the food industry - shaping the way we eat, both at home and out at restaurants.
And the leading celebrity chefs can earn millions of dollars from their eating establishments, bestselling cookbooks and television programmes.
Add in money-spinning personal appearances, advertising and sponsorship deals, and shrewd investments, and these kitchen stars can become fabulously wealthy.
For the purposes of this list we've restricted it to people who have predominantly made their money through food, so the likes of Kimbal Musk ($500 million) is not included as, while he is a restauranteur, he mainly owes his fortune to his brother Elon Musk.
With that being said, here are the top 11 richest celeb chefs in the world in 2024, according to CelebrityNetWorth.
