Those sound like pretty specific numbers, so I wonder about the source. Hell, Skip “Talentless” Bayless makes $5.5 mil with a $4mil signing bonus. I don’t doubt Anthony was still into bad habits (he almost bragged about it in a weird way), but hard to blow that kind of cash. Even if it was blow, he’d have to add some serious gambling or something if this is true. And....it’s another addiction so who knows?

I’m not sure his pay (especially pre-cnn)... but I’m pretty sure he dug a hole his first 50 years, and even beyond having an ex wife and daughter, I’d guess he was anything but thrifty.

Fadingpain Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Why does everyone think Bourdain should have been rich? I doubt he ever made much working as a chef owning his own restaurant in NYC. I guess he did a book deal, that should have helped, and lately he became a TV personality, but for how long, and how much does that gig on CNN pay? I do agree that 1.3 million or whatever seems low though..but how much more should he have had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That book alone I would have thought would have brought in a minimum of $1M to him And I cant believe CNN was paying him any less than $1M a year to do his show...report said he had a mortgage for $1M, so that's not outrageous by any means. I would have thought minimum $10M ...my only thought is dude had a serious gambling problem. I mean, I doubt he ever paid for a meal or a drink anywhere in the last 15 years.

He must have blown a bunch of it somehow. I believe he was a partner for Les Halles, a restaurant he was executive chef at while he was writing Kitchen Confidential. The guy sold 3 NYT best-selling books, fer chrissakes. Not to mention his career on television. Doesn’t appear to be drugs. Maybe it was gambling? Weird...

bbb Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Anthony Bourdain's will surprised lots of people when it was revealed he died with around $1.2 mil in assets, because everyone thought he was way richer ... turns out, he was. We obtained a copy of Bourdain's will, and it appears he created a trust outside the will which contained an undisclosed amount of assets. It's very common for rich folk to create trusts outside of their will ... partly for tax purposes and partly for privacy. As we reported, the will discloses Bourdain left behind $425k in cash, $250k in personal property, $35k in brokerage accounts and around $500k in royalties and residuals. The will lists Ottavia Busia-Bourdain, his estranged wife, as trustee. The will was signed in 2016, after they had separated. http://www.tmz.com/2018/07/06/anthony-bourdain-will-trust-money-suicide/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony reminds me a lot of myself and, to me, validates why I enjoyed his shows so much. I always wanted to drink some beers, smoke a joint and have dinner with that dude! Only difference is I have held the same job for a long long time. Other MFers making more pay for less work come and go, but I do what I do because I love it and I am thankful for a comfortable life. If I had more money, I would take care of others and fritter away the rest. Edited July 8, 2018 by BUFFALOKIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It became more evident as the seasons of No Reservations proceeded. By the time Parts Unknown came about, it was front and center imo. It's pretty clear in watching his early seasons compared to his later stuff. Sad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he showed an enormous amount of personal growth, at least in that respect. I’m sure the trust had far more than disclosed in the will. (We signed new wills this week and as the attorney described it “this is just for the loose stuff that’s not already specifically covered in the trust”. I’m also sure he had a lot more digits in his....) . Edited October 11, 2018 by Augie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
