Paula Deen – $14 Million

She is the Queen of Southern Cooking, and it is a fit tile for the celebrity chef Paula Deen. Deen lives in Savannah, Georgia, and owns and operates The Lady & Sons restaurant and Paula Deen’s Creek House with her sons Jamie and Bobby Deen. However, not everything is good for this 73-year-old television personality. She now needs the help of her lawyer after a former employee filed a discrimination lawsuit against her for being racist.

Sadly, this affects her work, as her endorsement partners and TV network quickly let her go. Fortunately, she still has $14 million of net worth that will help her get by. She also published a lifestyle magazine called “Cooking with Paula Deen” in November 2005, with 7.5 million copies issued in March 2009. We hope that everything will end well, and she can return to what she is doing best once again—a cooking show host.
