12. Anthony Bourdain ($7 million)
Anthony Bourdain has been hosting CNN’s Parts Unknown since 2013. It is a travel-food show where he goes to places and explores local cuisines and cultures.
Unlike most celebrity chefs, Anthony set his foot on culinary world firmly. He even studied culinary at The Culinary Institute of America. Then he worked in so many professional kitchens, including his last one, Brassarie Les Halles in Manhattan. He does not work there as a chef anymore, but he has left his legacy within the restaurant’s dishes.
Before Parts Unknown, Anthony hosted several other cook shows such as A Cook’s Tour and The Layover. The longest one was the show he hosted for seven years since 2005, No Reservations.
Anthony has written so many award-winning books. Until today, they are still selling. So, it should come as no surprise that he has an estimated $7 million net worth.
