Over at Eater, they've calculated who the richest chef in the world is. Admittedly, we were surprised. Yes, Wolfgang Puck made the list, as did Rachael Ray, but who would have guessed Jamie Oliver? Check the names out here.

A lot of cooks-not-technically-chefs follow: Ina Garten is closest at 6300 shelves, Nigella Lawson 5800, Sheila Lukens (the cooking force of Silver Palate) 3250, Deborah Madison 3000, Dorie Greenspan 2800, Marcella Hazan 2500, Alice Waters 2500, and actual chef Rick Bayless 2400.
All these are rough estimates and the rankings could easily change as EYB membership and individual members' bookshelves grow -- but my guess it will be a while before anyone overtakes the Naked Chef in cumulative cookbook popularity.
Add in the television and the restaurants, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
