I think he is very big in America, as well as here. Whether the valuation is true in any real sense is another question. I've not read the Sunday Times so cannot say.

He's a top man. Has won 3 animal welfare awards from Compassion.

What does it mean to be as rich as that?
Does he eat any better, does he sleep any better? Are his relationships with other people any happier? I saw him on a chat show and he'd got nothing to say. He was hardly bubbling over with the joys of life. He seems quite a miserable bugger to me. You only need a certain amount of money to give you independence and a good life. The rest is excess baggage. |

He's very good mates with Banksy apparently , he completely sprayed his first restaurant for him

Jamie and his amazing team have been recognised for their commitment to animal welfare. Jamie’s Food Standards Team won three Compassion in World Farming’s Annual Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards in Paris last night.
The team, who ensure food standards across the various Jamie businesses, won a global Good Egg Award for using cage-free eggs in all Jamie Oliver restaurants and food service outlets like Recipease; a global Good Chicken Award for sourcing only higher welfare chicken; and a Good Pig Award for using only higher welfare pork, bacon and sausages across all of the restaurant and retail businesses including Barbecoa Butchers and Union Jacks restaurants. |

Daniel Nowland, Jamie’s Technical Development Manager for the Food Standards Team, who was in Paris to collect the awards, said: “As a group better animal welfare is up there in our top priorities and Jamie has been a huge pioneer and leader in this for a long time now.
“His TV programmes reflect this as he has proven to be an ambassador for higher welfare in pork, chicken and eggs – which just so happen to be the three awards we were picking up last night.” Daniel added that no ingredient gets passed by the Food Standards Team unless they are absolutely sure it ticks all of the boxes in terms of welfare. He added: “From our sandwiches in Boots to every ingredient in every Jamie restaurant, we make sure the welfare of the animal is as high as possible; we’re not doing this because we are bonkers animal lovers, we are doing it because it is a very important part of the industry we represent and the impact it has on society.” Daniel concluded: “We’re not the best at shouting about all of the great stuff we do, but it would be good to see all restaurants being more open about the welfare of the food they are serving.” |

Millions of children damaging their bodies with junk food. Jamie Oliver has campaigned hard children/parents/schools/governments to realise the damage that is being done. He is a passionate chap but unlike you Crippen isn`t all happy clappy with the joys of spring with a wiggle in his walk and a giggle in his talk.  |
|
By:
I doubt that anything Jamie Oliver says or does isn't designed to promote himself.
''Look at me I'm worried about school meals'' He couldn't give a f'ck. Look at me I'm worried about animal welfare.'' He couldn't give a f'ck. What he really should be saying is: ''Look at me I'm making a fortune out of bullshine.'' Now that's something that is believable. |

how the fk do you know that?? |

Just because people are rich doesn't mean they can't be compassionate ffs.
Look at all the vegan celebrities. |

If he were concerned about animals he'd be a vegetarian - is he a vegetarian?
Why does he serve meat if he's worried about killing animals? We don't need to eat meat to survive. |
|
By:
You do make some ludicrous statements. You don't have to be a vegetarian to be concerned about animal welfare.

Crippen has a turnip for a head. NAP

By:
I you are a vegetarian it certainly boosts your credibility when you talk about animal welfare, but if you are making a fortune out of it reduces your credibility to zero.
Why can't you understand that? It seems elementary to me. |

I bet AG is busy looking up the word elementary. |

Old turnip head has believes he has used an impressive word.Well that`s Turnip heads for you. Crips, you can wear a scarf and a fancy new hat, but there is no disguising the turnip. He only takes his dog to vegetarian vets. 10/10 for effort, for attempting to think outside the turnip box Crippen. |

What the **** kind of insult is that? |

By:

Yes, Facts referring to others as uneducated when he comes out with grammar like that. He seems like a bit of a berk to me. |
|
By:
the whole thing of caring about the welfare of an animal that has been bred purely with the intention of killing it later for food strikes me as hypocrisy

My point exactly MisterBadger but it seems to have gone right over the heads of one or two on here.
