Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver earned £28.5 million last year as he continued his recovery from the collapse of his restaurant chain.

The significant income for Holdings in 2024 came from television shows, book sales, and restaurant operations.

This revenue also included earnings from his cooking school and promotional fees.

His Italian restaurant chain went into administration in 2018, accumulating debts of £83 million.

However, he has since established international brands and operates a restaurant in Covent Garden, central London.

According to Companies House records, revenues increased from £27.1 million in 2023.

Nevertheless, profits experienced a slight decline to £4.6 million last year, down from £5.2 million.

The chef and his wife, both aged 50, received dividends totaling £3 million.

A report stated: “The main factors contributing to this decrease in profitability were reduced revenue due to the cyclical nature of long-term partnership contracts, which was partially offset by savings in central staff costs (excluding Owned and Operated sites).”

“We have launched new titles under the Jamie Oliver brand in both book and television formats this year, and we have seen continued strong performance from our back catalog of book titles and our international television content distributor.”

“The Board acknowledges that the Jamie Oliver brand is a vital asset of the Group and is confident that the necessary controls are in place to safeguard its value.”
