Bartolo Valastro Jr., simply known as Buddy Valastro, is a famous Italian-American entrepreneur, television personality, as well as a celebrity chef. Buddy Valastro is perhaps best known as the main star of the reality television series entitled “Cake Boss”. The show focuses on the business operated by Valastro and his siblings, as they run “Carlo’s Bake Shop”, where they combine their professional careers, as well as interpersonal relationships. The series first aired in 2009 and enjoyed a large success with an average audience of 2.3 million during its first season. Since then, “Carlo’s Bake Shop” has become a tourist attraction, as hundreds of people line-up to enter the bakery in order to try the famous cakes, which has in turn increased business for the shop, as well as tourism in the area.
The popularity of “Cake Boss” inspired several spin-off series, namely “Next Great Baker” presented by Buddy Valastro, and “Kitchen Boss”, which is also hosted by Valastro. Valastro then went on to release several books related to the show, the first one being “Cake Boss: Stories and Recipes from Mia Famiglia”, which was followed by “Baking with the Cake Boss”.

With the money collected from the shows, Valastro was able to purchase several valuable assets. His most expensive asset is a house in New Jersey, the value of which exceeds $1.3 million.
Buddy Valastro was born in 1977, in Hoboken, New Jersey. When he was 11 years old, Valastro started working at “Carlo’s Bake Shop”, a bakery owned by his father. Valastro’s father died in 1994 and as a result of this, Buddy became the owner of the bakery at the age of 17. It was in this bakery where Valastro launched his famous “Cake Boss” reality series. “Cake Boss” proved to be so popular that it opened many business opportunities for the Valastro family. “Carlo’s Bakery” expanded to 5 locations in New Jersey, that is in Hoboken, Ridgewood, Morristown, Westfield and Red Bank.

Currently, he is focused on running “Buddy V’s Events”, which is a company, co-owned with Jeffrey Spivack, that provides catering and event planning. In addition to this, Valastro is an owner of “Buddy V’s Ristorante”, his very first restaurant venture, located in Las Vegas. The restaurant enjoys a 4 star out of 5 rating, as well as a large attendance.
Buddy Valastro is a truly busy entrepreneur. As previously mentioned, Valastro is currently a host and main star of three cooking series. However, more recently, in 2013, he launched yet another television show called “Buddy’s Bakery Rescue”, also known as “Bakery Boss”, where Buddy tries to help “Friendly’s Bake Shop”, a bakery which is struggling with finances. The show has a similar format to that of “Kitchen Nightmares” run by Gordon Ramsey.
