-- Restaurants and Institutions, 1/1/2009

“Chef” ranked alongside “architect” and “real-estate agent” in U.S. News and World Report’s list of Most Overrated Careers in 2008.
Chief among editorial reasoning was the low compensation compared with the number of hours spent on the job. Yet those who find that elusive stairway to stardom can cash in. Here is Forbes’ ranking of the top-earning celebrity chefs, with estimated annual salaries.

1.Rachael Ray$18M
2.Wolfgang Puck$16M
3.Gordon Ramsay$7.5M
4.Nobuyuki Matsuhisa$5M
5.Alain Ducasse$5M
6.Paula Deen$4.5M
7.Mario Batali$3M
8.Tom Colicchio$2M
9.Bobby Flay$1.5M
