Fan reactions to Guy Fieri and his $80 million contract with the Food Network

Guy Fieri is not just the top paid chef on network television now, but he's among the top paid TV hosts overall. The $80 million contract is a relatively huge contract when compared to any other network, and it's no surprise that fans are all over this news.

In his previous contract, Guy Fieri signed on for a similar three-year span at the Food Network. However, the price was much smaller, and he was paid $30 million over the course of three years. Even though that's no small amount for a contract, it's a third the size of Guy Fieri's new one.

Though Guy Fieri is getting a huge payday from the Food Network, that's not the only way he makes money. He's a well known restaurateur with around 80 establishments connected to his own name. On top of that, he has been attached to 14 different series which have only catapulted him even further.

Before the contract, Guy Fieri's networth was estimated to be around $30 million. With the new contract, that number will obviously climb much higher as his new earnings come into play.

Some fans took it upon themselves to compare the number to other salaries, and they used the Pittsburgh Pirates as an example. Guy Fieri's contract is worth nearly double their roster.
