Final earnings on Top Chef Destination Canada

Multiple chefs from this season broke into the top 10 across all seasons!

Many chefs in this season earned a lot of money for their prowess in challenges. They ranged from earning this money all from quickfires (Katianna, Henry, and Mimi) to all from elimination challenges (Massimo, Vinny, Paula, and Zubair). Three chefs finished the season without earning any reward money from winning challenges.

At the end of this stellar season, two chefs have made it into the Top 10 highest earners (excluding the final prize money): Tristen and Shuai. This is an updated leaderboard from my previous post earlier in the season. Most of the chefs in this leaderboard were winners or runners-up.

In future analyses, I’ll look at what prizes besides money were given away as rewards and how that has changed over time.

Huge congrats to all the chefs this season, and to our new Top Chef!
