Gordon Ramsey’s Empire In Trouble

By Mark Lorenz on November 3rd, 2010

If you’ve ever enjoyed Gordon Ramsey abusing cooks on his TV, yelling at incompetent restaurant owners, and making people cry – today may be the worst day in the world for you.

Because the bank is preventing him from selling his house to repay debts to his restaurant empire. Gordon Ramsey, for those of you who may not know – is probably the toughest man who ever graced your television screens. Notable for being one of the only chefs who has two different restaurants with more than 3 Michelin stars, his financial empire is now collapsing. Which is sad, because if you’ve ever eaten at a Gordon Ramsey restaurant, you get all the benefits of eating delicious food without the tertiary yelling. They’re lovely places. But the Ramseys are attempting to sell their 3 million dollar home to raise money to put back into their company. And the Royal Bank of Scotland was all like, nu-uh, we gave you a pass on a 10.6 million pound overdraft fee.

Ramsey recently had to cede control of some of the restaurants he had in the US, and his company is rumored to be 17 million pounds in debt. Ramsey’s fortune was estimated to be at around 67 million pounds.

So, who else imagines his accountant yelling at him a la Kitchen Nightmares? This guy does.
