Gordon Ramsay’s Business Woes and Plans for 2010
Author: Gordon Ramsay Unofficial Fansite // Category: gordon ramsay news
In an article on the Business week website (much more reliable than and English Tabloid!) Gordon Ramsay talks candidly about how bad the last year had been financially, amazing considering how bad 2008 was for him!
In fact, the reality is that Gordon Ramsay’s troubles in 2009 flowed over directly from 2008 and opening eight restaurtants just prior to the global economic crisis (note: owning the restaurants – not just consulting like some of his contempories). This is the story of how Gordon Ramsay Holdings was advised to consolidate their debts and file for bankrupcy – something which Gordon said he would not agree to! Gordon spent the first 3 months of filming Hell’s Kitchen in the USA and then hours at night on the phone with business partner and father-in-law Chris Hutcheson, not to mention early morning runs to ‘burn off the stress!’.
The story also summaries Gordon Ramsay’s current status – twenty restuarants worldwide, five international television shows, twenty three cookbooks (and two biographies) in eighteen languages plus multiple endorsements.
The article also gives some insight into Gordon Ramsay’s television earnings
- In the UK £2 000 000 annually from Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and The F Word.
- £25 000 000 in UK cookbook sales.
- £3 000 000 in endorsements.
- $9 000 000 from US shows.
