"  Celebrity chefs are ubiquitous. They have restaurants around the globe, food products on supermarket shelves, host multiple television shows, and serve as spokespersons for famous brands. Oh, and they also have plenty of dough. Forbes just released its list of the top-earning chefs and some of the figures are pretty staggering. Gordon Ramsay tops the list, making $38 million per year. Some of his income comes from his appearance on television shows, including FOX&amp;#039;s Hell&amp;#039;s Kitchen and the upcoming Hotel Hell, in which Ramsay will yell at hotel owners. In addition to his television enterprise, Ramsay owns 23 restaurants around the world, including his latest venture, Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris Las Vegas.

The 43-year-old woman who coined &amp;quot;EVOO&amp;quot; increased her earnings from $18 million in 2008 to $25 million this year. And she&amp;#039;s done this all without owning a single restaurant. Her daytime talk show, eponymous magazine, and 20 cookbooks seem to be plenty for her to rake in the dough. Despite what some considered her betrayal of butter, Paula Deen is still bringing home the bacon. She comes in at 4th with $17 million. Who knows how she&amp;#039;ll fare next year after her new low-calorie, diabetes-friendly products hit the shelves. Rumor has it, too, that she&amp;#039;s shopping around a new television show.
