The worst was one of the BBC episode of Kitchen Nightmares. The freezer was just disgusting. It is amazing the restaurant didn't kill someone. Hell, maybe they did.

I loved it when he found out a lobster place in NY was advertising Maine lobsters and getting there lobsters from Canada. He told him that you can't do that, the owner tells him they are Homarus Americanus, so, it's okay.

One of my favorite shows! Not much on Hell's Kitchen, though...he's an arse, but it's a little over the top on that show.

That is all acting. He wasn't like that at all in the original BBC show. He was much more of a teacher in that show. He built the contestants up instead of breaking them down.

He's also been accused of bringing pre prepared foods into his restaurant and reheating them as well and he is in severe financial trouble.
I just don't care for the guy.

He has way too much on his plate. He has too many restaurants and he spends way too much time on tv to maintain top standards.
If you watch his other shows he really seems to be a decent enough guy. He is a jackass on Hell's Kitchen because that is the role they want him to play.

HE owns the corporation. I own corporations. If one is in financial trouble I am in financial trouble.

Nah--He has 60 million in his own bank account. He is totally insulated. He isn't the sole owner of his restaurant empire. He's a Teflon Don.

All of Ramsay's business interests (restaurants, media, consultancy) are held in the company Gordon Ramsay Holdings Limited. Run in partnership with his father-in-law Chris Hutcheson, Ramsay owns a 69% stake valued at £67m.[25]
As of June 2009, Gordon Ramsay Holdings is reported to be in severe financial difficulty after a financial audit by accounting firm KPMG.[29]
The Reason He Is Still Doing The Shows
And although he may have a purported personal net worth in the millions any smart attorney can figure a way to pierce the corporate veil and get at the personal assets.

Not if you are set up properly. By properly I am not implying you have done anything wrong, but there is long term planning that can be done to prevent this.

You've missed the point. My point is if my company fails I have no income. Regardless of wrongdoing, market factors, sun moon alignment.
Maybe I have enough put away to last, maybe I don't. Most people don't. Many rich and successful businessmen, celebrity's, politicians, doctors go broke everyday some on their own accord some due to above-mentioned factors. Most long term planning is in direct relation to the success of the enterprise.
In the case of Ramsay from what I've read and heard he is only continuing to do the show for the income because he needs it. Not because he wants to. He took and is taking a hit, like millions of others, due to an unbridled enthusiasm of the economy never failing. And of course we all know it did. Simply put he was and is spread too thin. It happens.
And there is no such thing as teflon when money is at stake and lawyers are available. BP has tons of money. Not for long. Spencer Callahan is on the case.

I did not miss the point. I understand completely. And I think we are in basic agreement.

I understand this is the way most business owners live. Sometimes they have no choice. Sometimes they don't plan properly.
I have developer clients who were making money hand over fist and I warned them to do asset protection planning. They did not. Kept pouring it back into the biz and/or spending like it would last forever.
Some biz owners don't make enough to create off balance sheet wealth and then protect it.

Yep. Well said. That's what I was saying about some of my clients.

Yes. We are on the same page. Like I said, sometimes the profit is not enough to create out of business wealth.
