The net worth of Marco Pierre White, a British celebrity chef, television personality, and restaurateur, is $40 million.
On December 11, 1961, Marco Pierre White was born in Leeds, United Kingdom.
Marco Pierre White’s family has a history of chefs, with his father, grandfather, and siblings all having been chefs.
Marco’s culinary education began at the Hotel St Helena when he worked as a kitchen apprentice.
George began his career in Harrogate and eventually secured a job at the two Michelin-starred Box Tree in Ilkley, Yorkshire, where he heightened his passion for food.
After a brief stint, Marco relocated to London and secured a job at Le Gavroche, where he began his classical education as a commis.
He was employed at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire, where he was supervised by Raymond Blanc.
At the age of 24, he became a shareholder and head chef at Harveys, an upscale burger joint, in 1986.
Marco transformed it into a sophisticated and elegant restaurant. Meanwhile, Marco became a chef who is known for his ruthlessness.
The media has labeled him as ‘London’s most discourteous cook’.
In the early stages of his career in the kitchen, White would frequently expel customers from his restaurants if he took offense to their remarks.
When a customer asked for a side dish to accompany their lunch, White personally cooked the chips and charged an additional fee.
White used a sharp paring knife to cut the back of a young Harveys chef’s jacket and trousers after he complained of the heat in the kitchen.
Despite his tough disposition, Marco was awarded his third Michelin star at 33 years old.
He holds the record for being the youngest Briton to be awarded 3 Michelin stars.
After 17 years of pursuing his dreams, he faced criticism when he chose to give up his Michelin stars and retire, citing insufficient returns in his personal life.
