Jamie Overtakes Gordon In Rich List

Jamie Oliver is expected to have overtaken Gordon Ramsay on the Sunday Time Rich List. The Telegraph suggests that Oliver will rank at position 1,348 with an estimated fortune of £40m. Ramsey is out of the top 2000 after last year ranking at position 1,446.

Of course, both of these on-TV chefs make a significant proportion of their income from TV shows and by selling stacks of cookery books. Ramsey has been in the news over the last few months as reports surface suggesting his global restaurant business is being affected by the credit crunch.
