In the real world, the cook doesn't earn the same kind of money as the jeweler


You clearly don't live in the UK, where we have a slew of multi-millionaire celebrity chefs. Jamie Oliver, Delia Smith, Keith Floyd, Aynsley Harriot, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Nigella Lawson , their faces gleaming from every tv set night after night, their books piled in huge pyramids in bookshops and supermarkets from one end of the nation to the other. Jamie Oliver is apparently even in line for a Hollywood Biopic.

On the other hand, I don't believe there's a single celebrity jeweller, unless you count Terence Ratner who famously bankrupted his national chain of jeweleers by publicly announcing that his company sold "crap".
