According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jacques Pépin is worth a princely $20 million. The chef has accrued his millions through his various exploits, from the successful TV series "The Complete Pepin" and "Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home," both on PBS, to a number of popular books. 

Today, he enjoys his wealth and lives comfortably in Connecticut, though he sadly lost his wife Gloria, who died in 2020. However, he's not keeping it all to himself, having formed the Jacques Pépin Foundation in 2016 along with his family. As the foundation's website states, it "benefits people disenfranchised from the workforce" — he might be worth a lot of money, but Pépin is certainly using it for good.

In these latter stages of his career, Pépin has been keeping himself busy. He's appeared on a number of TV shows in recent years — both on his own and as a special guest on others — and published his most recent book, "Jacques Pepin Quick & Simple" in 2020. Meanwhile, in 2017, Pépin was the recipient of an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Columbia University.
