Inside The Life Of A Billionaire Chef

Working as a billionaire’s private chef will bag you a six-figure salary, but you’ll also have tons of responsibilities to keep you busy. You might be able to live on your employer’s massive estate in your very own guest house, but that could mean going 10-weeks without visiting your family. You can travel all over the world on yachts and private jets, but you’ll have to learn about languages and currency to be able to gather the freshest ingredients wherever you go. And while you might receive gifts like cash and expensive watches, you could also be on-call 18-hours a day. Just ask private chefs like Dean Harper and Michael Harwood, who’ve done everything from prepare caviar and champagne at 1AM to forage on a deserted island for fresh pineapple.

To become good enough for a billionaire to hire you as their private cook, you have to get a culinary degree from a great school like the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. You’ll also need lots of charisma and patience-- you might be dealing with rude guests and your responsibilities will include everything from menu planning to cleaning up after yourself. Private chefs also get to work with incredibly expensive ingredients like $12,000 Yubari King Melon, Kobe Beef which costs $1,475 for 5 pounds, or a $25,000 2.2-pound tin of Almas Caviar. From cooking on yachts to preparing the most expensive food, here’s what it’s like working as a billionaire’s personal chef.

The title should be "Inside the life of a ''billionairE'S" chef"

I thought the chef was a billionaire.

[thatdudecancook]

I was a restaurant cook before becoming a private chef before turning to social media. I did dinner parties for many clients in Aspen and It was super stressful.

[lrft]

Imagine being a billionaire chef and still working

[ernestkj]

I have this ~3b worth client/friend who is so down to earth that he takes the metro to downtown, drives a Japanese SUV, eats at cheap takeouts(mostly), doesn't hire full-time domestic cleaners, lives in a relatively small(2000sqf) luxury condo, is friendly to everyone!

I don’t know who, but someone needs to hear this, you’ve got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some if you really want financial freedom

[boodoggy]

I've been the personal chef for a few famous/wealthy people.
Out of all the bosses, I had one singer that was amazing. I traveled with her, etc.
Lots of strange requests at all hours of the day and night.
If I told you who my last employers was you'd understand why I no longer do it.

If you're reading this, look into Anthony Bourdain. The "chef" life is more about those long hours than the fancy shit. Its more about caring for the food more than a watch or a boat ride. You have to love your food, then worry about the BS perks.

$8, 000 a month for working 12-18 hour days including weekends, is actually minimum wage.

"He was paid well… $8450 per MONTH" umm… sure, "paid well" for basically 24/7 on call at the whim of your BILLIONAIRE boss.

You are about right with your information. The thing is, is it really worth the job with all those disadvantages?
I am a private chef here in the caribbean to tourist & owners with luxury homes.
The pay is great but the stress level is to much.

[garcel]

Had a associate… she took a blind interview process long story short she ended up being the chef for the owner of the Spurs making over 6 figures…. Best part from what I’m told they don’t want a lot of detailed dishes it’s mostly simplistic

[crisp.]

I mean your chef probably receives 1000 gifts a day, as you are 'The Richest'

[anujraut]

This is how I think when I cook instant noodles

[jadedFk]

Average person spends $233 on groceries a month ?? Wtf are they eating ... instant ramen and cornflakes ...

[jwznfgn]

No way billionaires spend only 2, 000$ a month on groceries. I spend a similar amount and I'm no where close to being one.
