[Music] in our first Gordon Ramsay video we showed you some things most people didn't know about this world-famous chef well we're back and this time we're taking a look at some of the more ridiculously expensive things he owns from watches to cars to houses we've got it all so put the lid on that boiling pot set the timer and be sure to hit the subscribe and notification buttons because trust us you really don't want to upset Chef Ramsay on this one London home they say that there's no place like home okay technically Dorothy from Kansas said that but we think it applies to everyone even the rich and famous in the world of celebrity it's often hard to know exactly where home is after all celebs usually have so many houses that sometimes we're unsure which one is the main house in the case of Gordon Ramsay things aren't that tough this scottish-born chef's home base is actually in London England specifically Ramsay and his family live in the Battersea area of London in an area known as wodsworth common he purchased the house in 2002 for around 4.2 million dollars at that time it was a four apartment building however with some serious renovation this one-time apartment building was transformed into an 8 bedroom family dwelling in addition to all of the room and a very large kitchen which we'll get to in a minute this cry see home came with access to a backyard park complete with tennis court in fact only 15 homes have access to the park making it a rather pleasant semi-private park if you're ever in London looking for this celebrity home you'll be able to pick it out thanks to all the security cameras around the house pricy kitchen as you can imagine no home of a celebrity chef is complete without a pretty large and well-equipped kitchen as we've already told you Gordon Ramsay moved into his London home in 2002 after paying 4.2 million dollars in addition to all of the required renovations to turn the former four apartment complex into a single-family dwelling Ramsay also began a major overhaul of the kitchen while most of us would be happy buying some new appliances and getting a marble or granite countertop some one of Chef Ramsay's caliber requires something more high-end how much more well about 640 thousand dollars worth that's right for the price of an average LA home Ramsay created a kitchen most restaurants would be jealous of in addition to lots of light and storage space this kitchen also comes equipped with a heated floor and high-end Smeg refrigerators and freezers there is however a jewel in this crown the centerpiece of this kitchen is surely the $86,000 rain made by French company rorg weighing two and a half tons this thing had to be brought in with a crane Ramsay reportedly uses it when creating his own recipes for his restaurants la home you're truly not a world-famous celebrity unless you own a couple homes somewhere across the world Gordon Ramsay is absolutely no different in this respect so where does one set up a second home when they need to get away from the notoriously damp and overcast English weather well Los Angeles of course in 2012 with his Fame and wealth exploding Ramsay decided it was time to live the rich American lifestyle by getting a mansion in la-la land after all considering the number of American television programs he was involved with it only made sense no doubt inspired by The Fresh Prince Ramsay whisper cab and headed to bel-air there he purchased a six point seven five million dollar estate which was built in 2003 as you'd expect this home comes loaded it is five bedrooms six bathrooms a swimming pool and of course a very large and modern kitchen sitting on an acre it also has a fantastic ocean Canyon and city view as an added perk Ramsey's la home is reported to be not too far from good friend David Beckham's house Ferrari f12 TDF when you're rich and famous you can indulge in pretty much anything love to travel to exotic locations not a problem enjoy covering everything in your home in gold done in the case of Gordon Ramsay his in Belgium may not be what most people would expect after all as a chef who owns and operates dozens of restaurants you might think Ramsey was about the finer things in life like really expensive foods wines cigars or even jewelry by his own admission this chefs most treasured possessions are his Ferraris he is several of them and some are a little more special than others take his Ferrari f12 TDF as an example this is definitely no ordinary f12 Berlinetta sure it has the same 6.3 liter v12 engine the difference however is that the TDF is more powerful and lighter than other f12 you see TD f stands for Tour de France an auto race Ferrari took part in until the mid-1980s an homage to this Ferrari created this special car and limited its production to just 799 while the reported base price for this car is $450,000 examples of the TDF sold for as much as 1.5 million in some parts of the world Cornwall home with one multi-million dollar home in London and one in Los Angeles you'd think that with just about satisfy anyone but you forget one important thing like all celebs Gordon Ramsay needs a vacation home when he's looking to get away from the hustle of the big English and American cities the answer to Ramsay's vacation home search was found in the south of England in a region known as Cornwall to be even more specific the house is located in a small coastal town of rock there Ramsay purchased a 1920s stone house sitting close to the shore for a whopping five point six million dollars amazingly rather than be happy with the purchase and add the odd renovation here and there this reality chef decided to bulldoze everything and build a new house with a second smaller house closer to the water as you can imagine the people of the village were pretty upset with his plan after winning a legal battle and getting his way development began on a new four floor building with five bedrooms and a pool naturally there is also a massive kitchen with an additional second kitchen for prep work by the shore the second house will be smaller but have room for boat storage it's quiz time all this talk of expensive properties has us wondering which city in the u.s. is the most expensive to live in we bet you have a pretty good idea of what the answer is we'll tell you after going through five more ridiculously expensive things Nick Gordon Ramsay owns Rangers FC growing up Gordon Ramsay did what most kids in Britain do they play soccer and support a specific team in Ramsay's case that team was Rangers FC of Scotland the chefs love for all things Rangers went further than just being a fan in the 1980s he actually went on trial with a historic club and even trained with them for a period of time unfortunately injury ruled out any sort of career and led Ramsey down the cooking path that made him so famous nonetheless he maintains close links to the club in fact a couple years ago he purchased shares in the club as part of the Rangers first organization this group he owns around 2% of the clubs are unhappy with the way the board is running things and want to see that their team is in better hands given Rangers is valued at around 44 million dollars this means Rangers first holds about a $900,000 stake in the club as Ramsay is likely one of the richest members of the group it's likely he owns a fair share of the holdings Cornwall version 2.0 wait didn't we already go over Gordon Ramsey's Cornwall estate why yes yes we did however when this multi-million dollar property was being bulldozed and rebuilt Ramsay and his family couldn't go without some sort of Cornwall vacation property that would be just silly his solution was simply to buy yet another vacation home in the area this one is one and a half miles north of his main vacation home in the small town of Trebek the emergency vacation home sits on two and a half acres of land and comes complete with a pool and tennis courts the house itself has six bedrooms and four bathrooms and we imagine the kitchen isn't too shabby either so what did it cost Ramsay to own a second waterfront property while his first one was being rebuilt the tribefolk estate put a 3.8 million dollar dent in his bank account as an added bonus because Ramsay owned so much valuable property in Cornwall also faced a further 1.3 million dollar tax on top of all of this boy being rich sure can get expensive at times Ferrari laferrari of course we can't continue to talk about Gordon Ramsay's expensive things without revisiting his garage to take in some more of his high-end exotic cars this time around we're going to pick a couple of very exclusive and very expensive Italian vehicles naturally given the chef's love of all things Ferrari it was just a matter of time until we stumbled upon his Ferrari laferrari yes it's a bit of an awkward and silly sounding name for a car after all it translates into Ferrari the Ferrari nonetheless this hybrid supercar is a much sought after vehicle in the collector world first in 2015 he picked up a grey 1.3 million dollar Locker re a year later he returned to purchase a convertible version of the car the laferrari is highly sought after with one example even bringing in several million dollars at auction loaded with Formula One technology and generating upwards of 950 horsepower it's easy to understand why someone who loves all things Ferrari would want one but yes Ramsay really likes them given he's owned two of these rare machines watches in the world of high-priced celebrity items we have a lot of houses cars boats and planes watches however our one overlooked luxury item that the rich and famous buy for themselves Gordon Ramsay is no exception to this rule while celebrity Watchers are busy taking in all the big ticket items Ramsay has amassed over the years no one was looking at his wrist many times if you look closely you can see him wearing some form of Breitling watch these watches likely cost the reality star somewhere from two thousand to five thousand dollars depending upon the specific model and features the watch that caught most people's attention however is Ramsay's Rolex Submariner it appears this is the Scotsman's favourite when he's out and about on the town or hanging out at an LA Lakers game with BFF David Beckham a modern Submariner costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,500 twist here is that Ramsay's version is the vintage model which could have cost well over $20,000 media and restaurant empire he's got multiple million dollar homes a fleet of high-priced Ferraris shares in a world famous soccer club and of course expensive watches the one thing we haven't yet touched upon is his massive restaurant and television empire in fact Gordon Ramsay's entire reason for being famous is because of his cooking ability and personality which allowed him to grow an empire based around the kitchen several years ago his business empire went through a bit of a rough patch with several restaurants closing and an ongoing legal battle with his father-in-law his company Gordon Ramsay Holdings was actually loaded with debt and in need of restructuring today things are looking better in fact his overall worth is valued at around 160 million dollars with his 2016 income reported to be around 54 million dollars to put it in perspective about how big that actually is Forbes reports that income is the same as Beyonce with his restaurants generating 150 million dollars in revenue and Ramsey commanding upwards of $400,000 per television episode this is one empire built on food that looks like it hasn't gone bad yet so do you think you know the answer to which US city is the most expensive to live in the answer New York if we're getting specific is actually Manhattan where the rent alone averages out at over four thousand two hundred dollars a month and yet again we come to the end of our video my
