Gordon Ramsay is a restaurateur, celebrity chef, writer, and TV presenter. His restaurant group, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, was founded in 1997 and has been awarded 17 Michelin stars overall, and he currently holds eight. His signature restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, London, has held three Michelin stars since 2001. After rising to fame on the British TV miniseries “Boiling Point” in 1999, Ramsay became one of the best-known and most influential chefs in the world. Ramsay’s TV persona is defined by his fiery temper, aggressive behavior, strict demeanor, and frequent use of profanity while making critical, blunt and controversial comments.

He combines activities in the film, television, hospitality, and food industries and has promoted and hired various chefs who have apprenticed under his wing. He’s known for presenting television programs about competitive cooking and food, like the British series “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares,” and “The F Word,” with “Kitchen Nightmares” winning the 2005 British Academy Television Award for Best Feature, and the American versions of “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Kitchen Nightmares,” “MasterChef,” and “MasterChef Junior,” as well as “Hotel Hell,” “Gordon Behind Bars,” “Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back,” and “Next Level Chef.” Ramsay was appointed an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 New Year Honors list for services to the hospitality industry.

Ramsay was named the top chef in the UK at the 2000 Catey Awards, and in July 2006, he won the Catey for Independent Restauranteur of the Year, becoming the third person to win three Catey Awards. Forbes listed his 2020 earnings at $70 million and ranked him at no. 19 on its list of the highest-earning celebrities. Gordon Ramsay was born in Johnstone, Scotland, in 1966, the son of Helen and Gordon Ramsay Sr. When he was nine years old, he moved with his family to England and grew up in the Bishopton area of Stratford-upon-Avon. He’s described his early life as “hopelessly itinerant” and said his family moved constantly owing to the aspirations and failures of his father, who was an occasionally violent alcoholic, describing him as a “hard-drinking womanizer.” In his autobiography, Ramsay shared that his father abused and neglected the children.

He worked as a pot washer in a local Indian restaurant where his sister was a waitress. He hoped to become a footballer and was first chosen to play under-14 football at 12 years old, but injuries marked his early footballing career, and after a serious knee injury, he was forced to give it up. At 16 years old, he moved out of the family home and into an apartment in Banbury.
