Celebrity English Chef, Gordon
Ramsay was born in Scotland to a ‘violent alcoholic father’, Gordon
Senior, who worked as a newsagent, swimming instructor and welder, and
Helen, a nurse. He had to earn every penny of his £113million fortune.
He has disclosed his children won’t get their hands on all that money
because he fears it will ruin them. He has rather instilled in them the
work ethic that made him the man he is today.
The chef, who is known for
his Michelin-starred restaurants and heated reality television
programmes, said his four children will only be getting a 25 per cent
deposit on a flat as he prefers them to ‘work hard’ for their money as
it is not his ‘number one objective.’ He said they’re not even allowed
to dine at his swanky restaurants or sit in first class with him.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Mr Ramsay, 50, said:
‘It’s [his fortune] definitely not going to them, and that’s not in a mean way; it’s to not
spoil them.
‘Last time we went to Royal Hospital Road [his restaurant in Chelsea] was for Megan’s 16th birthday, and that was the first time we’ve ever
eaten there with the kids.
‘They have served the Chelsea pensioners there for Christmas lunch, but not eaten there.
‘They don’t sit with us in first class. They haven’t worked anywhere
near hard enough to afford that…I worked my f—— arse off to sit
that close to the pilot and you appreciate it more when you’ve grafted
for it.’#
As far as hard work goes, his kids are doing alright for
themselves.
Matilda, 15, has her own cookery show called Matilda and the Ramsay
Bunch, Jack, 17, has aspirations to become a Marine, Holly, 17, is
interested in fashion and works part-time in a shop, and Megan, 18, is a
philosophy student who babysits to earn cash.
