Gordon Ramsay denies he sold Ferrari because of money troubles

SPL70890_001

Chef Gordon Ramsay has denied reports he sold his beloved Ferrari because of money troubles and admitted he sold it because he bought another one.

The 42-year-old was the subject of many reports this year that claimed his restaurant empire’s profits fell by 87 per cent.

He was accused of serving ‘ready meals’ – and author Sarah Symonds came out and claimed she had a seven-year affair with the star.

There was one report that said that he had to sell his Ferrari because of his money problems.

He said: “I sold my other one because I’d bought this [a black Ferrari] and Mum would have given me a caning if I owned two.

“Some schmuck in St Albans went to a pub, said he’d bought Ramsay’s Ferrari, and it was in the papers.”

Talking about his money situation, he added: “I’ve never had an issue with money, or been greedy, and this is the first time I’ve had a wobble.

“Easy options were put to me [by accountants KPMG]: ‘Cherry-pick successes, offload the baggage, insolvency has worked for lots of restauranteurs.’

“That made me sick – others would lose out. I like danger, and respond to negativity. It keeps me excited in a control-freak way.”
