The regular salary of a chef varies depending on what your career is. You can be a personal chef or a private chef. They are two different types of chefs.

Private Chefs:
Private chefs work for only one person, 4-5 days a week. A private chef can make from $45,000 to $70,000 a year. They do not have the freedom of a personal chef because they have to do what the client wants. However, they do have the potential to earn much more than a personal chef.

Personal Chefs:
Personal chefs have alot more freedom because they work once a week, they get good pay, and they are able to be more creative with what they do. Personal chefs shop for fresh food and prepare entrees in their clients' kitchen. They leave the client with instructions on hoe to prepare the food on the entrees. Personal chefs are paid by the hour and by meal. They can make up to $300 a day from just one client. Personal chefs can make from $30,000 to $50,000 a year based on their prices and how many clients they get.
