Who wants to be a millionaire?

By Lisa Abraham Published: September 5, 2012

Ever wonder what those celebrity chefs earn?

 

It's a lot.

 

Between their television shows, books and endorsement deals, there are plenty of millionaires walking around in chef's hats, according to a new list out by the Daily Meal of the Most Successful Chefs in America 2012.

 

I can't help but wonder if Anthony Bourdain isn't secretly smarting that he ranks below Paula Deen and Guy Fieri.

 

Check out the Daily Meal's list:
