The 74-year-old has an estimated net worth of £32 million after a long and successful career in the food industry spanning roughly half a century.

After opening four more restaurants there, the place is so synonymous with Rick that it has been dubbed ‘Padstein’.
Less well-known is the fact that The Seafood Restaurant was initially a nightclub bought by Rick in the 1970’s that was soon shut down due to the rowdy behaviour of the drunken fisherman who went there.
To avoid bankruptcy, the chef turned it into a restaurant.
