20. Darrelle Revis (CB) - $124.2 Million

Darrelle Revis is one of the best shutdown cornerbacks of this current generation. Sundays aren't the same these days without getting to watch him battle it out with the top wide receiver from his opposing team. That is if the quarterback decides to target his side of the field at all. Revis played his collegiate football in his home state of Pennsylvania at the University of Pittsburgh from 2004-2006. In those three seasons, Revis was named First-Team All-Big East in 2005 and 2006 and ESPN's College Player of the Year in 2006.

Darrelle Revis was drafted 14th overall in the 2007 NFL Draft by the New York Jets where he spent the majority of his professional football career in two stints. The 7x Pro Bowler spent the first six seasons of his NFL career in New York where he became known for his 'Revis Island' moniker. In total eight seasons (2007-2012, 2015-16) Darrelle spent with the Jets he was able to rake in a total of $96.6 million in contract money, but his willingness to become a free agent earned him more. Revis also played for the Tampa Bay Bucs for a single season in 2013 for $16 million. He also spent some time in New England for a single season for $12 million and won a Super Bowl ring with the franchise. His final season in the NFL (2017), he spent as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs before calling it quits. After all the ink settled, Revis brought home a whopping $124+ million.

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

IV

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
