5. Emeril Lagasse ($50 million)
Emeril Lagasse has been on TV since the early 1990s. He is now hosting his own cooking show, Emeril’s Florida, on Cooking Channel. It is now running on its fourth season.
Emeril calls his style of cooking the New New-Orleans. He uses local Louisiana ingredients. But he turns the Creole cuisine into his own dishes. You can have a taste of this new dish interpretation at his thirteen restaurants.
Each of his restaurants serves different kinds of food, though. You might want to go to all of them. It won’t be hard to find his restaurants across the United States because he put his name in all of them.
Today, he has $50 million of estimated net worth. It seems like his hard work and study at the Johnson and Wales culinary school has finally paid off.
