Today ’s Q10 comes to us straight fromForbes . Do a good job at Thanksgiving and this could be you , next yr ! These are annual earnings , by the manner , not total net profit .
9 . Bobby Flay , $ 1.5 million . I do n’t have much to say about Bobby Flay , " ˜cause I do n’t really like him . OK , that ’s not mediocre . He is the owner and executive chef of six restaurants , has eight cookbooks , and has hosted seven Food internet evince .
8 . Tom Colicchio , $ 2 million . TheTop Chefjudge have the Craft pipeline of restaurant , include ' wichcraft . He also used to be the co - owner , co - founder , and executive chef of NYC ’s Gramercy Tavern .
7 . Mario Batali , $ 3 million . This seems small , too " “ he ’s owns not one " ¦ not two " ¦ but 13 restaurants in New York , L.A. and Vegas . But he ’s also got the cookware . I think if he runs low on hard currency he could always approach Crocs about becoming a spokesperson .
6 . Paula Deen , $ 4.5 million . My mom ’s favorite !
Two Food connection shows , cookbooks , a magazine , an memoir " “ Paula ’s money come as much from sell her personality as it does from her butter - soak , Southern - dash nutrient .
5 . Alain Ducasse , $ 5 million . He tops Batali ’s 13 restaurants " “ Ducasse possess 22 across the cosmos . But he ’s got some incredibly interesting side projects going on - he has two cookery school in Paris - one for the cosmopolitan public and one specifically for chef . His school for chefs is partner with the European Space Agency for tastier astronaut repast .
4 . Nobuyuki Matsuhisa , $ 5 million . He co - owns 17 Nobu sushi joints ( yum ) . But I ’m sure the real money amount from his movie royal family - he was Mr. Roboto inAustin Powers in Goldmember . On second sentiment , I bet his four cookbook do OK , too .
1 . Rachael Ray , $ 18 million . You know , I wish Rachael Ray at first , but I ’m waaaay over her . She was too everywhere , too tight . But being everywhere apparently meant passel of Johnny Cash for Rachael , since she ’s wreak in $ 18 mil a year . That include her Food internet shows , her magazine , her lecture show , her EVOO trade name olive oil and her Dunkin ' Donuts endorsement .
