Jamie Oliver Wiki Biography
James Trevor Oliver was born on 27 May 1975 in the Essex village of Clavering, England, and is a world-famous master chef, restaurateur and media personality, much more familiar to TV audiences worldwide as Jamie Oliver, the celebrity chef whose works and recipes have found their way to many a family kitchen.
So just how rich is Jamie Oliver? Sources estimate that Jamie holds a truly impressive net worth of $400 million, accumulated over the last 20 years through his books, his chain of excellent restaurants and his multiple television programmes and appearances, Jamie Oliver has proved many times over that cooking healthy can go hand in hand with producing delicious meals.
Jamie Oliver was raised with cooking and catering always close by – his parents still own the same restaurant-pub they owned when their son was growing up, “The Cricketers”. Jamie learned to cook in the kitchen of his parents’ pub, before moving on to study at Westminster Catering College. A career as a professional chef was not far away – after finishing his studies, Jamie Oliver moved on to work in France for a time, before becoming employed by the famous Italian chef Antonio Carluccio as the head pastry chef in Carluccio’s prestigious restaurant, “Neal’s Yard”. It was there that Jamie Oliver honed his skills with Italian cuisine and met his future mentor and business partner, chef Gennaro Contaldo.
It was only when Jamie Oliver moved to work as a sous chef in the Fulham restaurant “The River Cafe”, however, that the future world-famous celebrity cook first came to the BBC’s attention. Oliver’s unexpected appearance during the shooting of a documentary set in “The River Cafe” made the right impression – later in 1997, Jamie was approached with the offer of hosting his own cooking show. Thus, “The Naked Chef” was born – although the only naked thing about it was the simplicity of Oliver’s recipes. Jamie’s charisma and skill as a chef soon catapulted him into worldwide fame. His cookbook, released in the same year as the show began, became the single best-selling book of the year in the UK, and Jamie Oliver was even invited to cook lunch for then-Prime Minister Tony Blair. Countless other shows followed in the wake of “The Naked Chef”, as well as books and campaigns promoting healthy food. In 2000, Oliver even signed a contract to appear as the face of the supermarket chain “Sainsbury’s”, in a deal that was valued at a staggering $2 million per year – and continued for 11 years, certainly adding to Jamie Oliver’s already growing net worth from his aforementioned exploits.
Oliver has built up his wealth through successfully managing a popular chain of luxurious restaurants, “Jamie’s Italian”, and he certainly owes a lot to his long and successful career as a media personality, as well. Back in 2005, Jamie Oliver was ranked as the UK hospitality industry’s most influential person, and the celebrity chef hasn’t slowed his pace since. If Oliver’s net worth is anything to go by, the message behind his continuous and unrelenting campaigns for healthier food everywhere – at school, at home or at a restaurant – has been received enthusiastically, and understood.
Today, Jamie Oliver has been married to the former model Juliette Norton since 2000. The couple has four children , and they are based in Primrose Hill, London., as they travel extensively for ‘work’!
