PADMA LAKSHMI – $10 MILLION, NEW YORK

Celebrity chef Padma Lakshmi has been the host of the show, Top Chef, since 2006. With her excellent work in the program, Lakshmi earned the right to get a Daytime Emmy Award. She is a skilled cook and a talented writer with four books, three of which were cookbooks and one a memoir, under her name. She has also appeared in several Italian films before her break on Top Chef.

So what does a celebrated chef do after work? She goes home and cooks! Her expensive $10 million-worth apartment in New York has the best kitchen any cook could imagine. Lakshmi shares the home and the kitchen with her daughter. The kitchen boasts of top-of-the-line appliances, a large island, and a bar top. As expected, it also has massive storage for all her ingredients. We can say that Lakshmi poured in heavy investment money on this house.
