He may have come under fire for his weight recently but it seems Jamie Oliver doesn't just have a bigger frame, he also has a bulging wallet. The pukka chef is now the world's richest chef after stirring up a £150million fortune. From recipe books to restaurants, in the last year alone his wealth has rocketed by £44million.
The dad-of-four, 36, is now Britain’s 501st richest person in the 2012 Sunday Times Rich List, leaving pal Gordon Ramsay, 45, and football loving chef Delia Smith, 70, in the shade.But according to The Daily Star the chunky chef is planning in building an even bigger empire in the US, where he is already a household name. His massive following means he has topped the weekly bestseller chart 30 times with his 15 cookbooks, including the 30-Minute Meals which sold more than a million copies.
It seems the chef, who left school with two GCSEs, can't do any wrong as his latest book Jamie’s Great Britain, which was linked with his Channel 4 show, also went straight to number one. He can now boast beating Harry Potter’s JK Rowling to the spot of Britain's best selling author. And it isn't just Britain and the US, Jamie's TV shows, made by his own production company, are shown in more than 40 countries.
The 2012 Sunday Times Rich List is out tomorrow.
