Jamie Oliver
AKA The Naked Chef
Jamie Oliver is one of Britain's best known celebrity chefs, specialising in food of a basically Italian origin.
He first came to prominence in the BBC TV series The Naked Chef, and the accompanying books, which represented a new style of cookery program - bold, dynamic, trendy, and casual.
From this foundation Oliver has built a sizeable business out of himself and his persona, and is now worth an estimated £20m.
Other notable achievements include his restaurant Fifteen, which gives 15 underprivileged young people a year a chance to train as chefs, and his passionate campaign to improve the quality of the UK's school dinners.
