Damn, I'm worth that much and my mug has only been on tv just one time that I know of and I'm a pretty good cook myself.

With his form of employment, how did he not carry a life insurance policy in favor of his daughter?

Heard he still liked the smell of coke from time to time.
I know someone in rehab now, he was a working addict. Spent about $30k a year on blow. Crazy shite. No one even knew.
Hid it well. Pretended he liked to gamble.

This explains why he was seen eating at the Popeyes buffet everyday while filming in Lafayette.

Who would have thought that egomaniacal, alcoholic drug addicts aren’t worth much?

It's typical for celebs to purchase real estate in blind trusts for security reasons. Then every time they sell and purchase another property, they start another blind trust. Otherwise, TMZ would know everything they do. This reported net worth was probably all that was in his persona name. He had that show "The Taste" which I'm sure he got paid some good money for since it was a network program.

People always over estimate what a celebrity is worth. All of those "celebrity net worth" sites are nonsense.

Previous estimates had pegged his fortune at $16 million.


1/10th to 1/4 is probably a fairly accurate guess of true celebrity net worth on those sites.
16M - pfffttt.

did not make a lot of money.


This is the answer on all of the reality based programs.

Damn, between his books, his show on the travel channel and then on CNN, I would think he would have had more than that..

And I think I read, that for each season of his show on CNN he spent 200 days a year on the road. I am sure he didn't have to spend much of his money while filming..

It’s almost impossible to “blow through” tens of millions on stupid shite. The only way to lose that kind of money is on art, gambling, family, and/or bad business investment (which 99% of the time have something to do with the prior 3 things I mentioned).

Think about it: even if he spent all his money on stupid cars, houses, and other shite, his estate would still have all those stupid cars, houses, and other shite. Even if he got a horrible deal on all of them they’d still be worth something.

Tl ;dr: there’s much more to the story and he probably has at least 15 million in a trust or 5.
