HAUNTED by childhood memories of living off powdered milk in a council estate, Gordon Ramsay refused to accept the status quo.
Labouring away in kitchens for decades, the celebrity chef has now amassed a staggering £610million fortune – making him reportedly richer than Beyonce.

According to Forbes his latest 'Studio Ramsay Global' deal with Fox Broadcasting Company was estimated to be worth an eye-watering £150million.
