6. USA
Yes, it is the USA that is in place number six when it comes to highest paying countries for chefs. Uncle Sam will offer you a great average yearly income of $63,324, and if you are talented and diligent, the sky is the limit. This is indeed a land of opportunities. The average salary may be such, but if you focus on upscale dining, you could end up with a salary of $101,000 in Ritz-Carlton. Or you could send the CV to Black Angus Steakhouse, if you are still insatiable.
