Then there’s the restaurant empire. James has places like The Kitchen in London and a gastropub in Lancashire. Restaurants are risky—like buying a lottery ticket that also requires you to chop onions for twelve hours. But James runs them like a pro, with Michelin-level food and normal-people prices.

He also has a range of kitchen gear—pans, knives, the works. You’ve probably seen his branded knives at the supermarket and thought, “I could chop faster if I owned that.” Spoiler: you still won’t chop like James, but he’ll still take your money.

Here’s where it gets fun. James Martin is obsessed with cars. He owns a Ferrari, a Porsche, and a Land Rover Defender that he uses for farming. Yes, he’s a chef who also farms. Meanwhile, I consider it a win if I don’t spill milk on my jumper.
He famously bought a vintage tractor for fun. I don’t know anyone who buys a tractor as a hobby, but James does. He probably bought it because he wanted to move a hay bale in style. That’s the kind of pointless, wonderful wealth most of us can only dream about.
