Nigella Lawson, famous for the weekly show "Nigella Bites", has an estimated net worth of $20 million. Lawson is not only an avid food entertainer but also a food writer and esteemed journalist. After graduating from Oxford University, she became a restaurant critic and book reviewer. She was no stranger to food or food critiques as her mother, Vanessa Salmon, owned the highly acclaimed J Lyons and Co., a catering business.

Lawson's literary skills came to the fore when she was promoted to deputy literary editor for the Sunday Times. She enjoyed a lengthy career in editing before launching her first book "How To Eat" that was published in 1998. A successful tale considering she had a peppered childhood which, also included having to move over nine times as a young teen, her approach to cooking has always been one of delicious taste and good presentation, and many of her recipes are considered traditionally mouth watering.
