Competitive eater Joey Chestnut has a net worth of $625,000. And while compared to many of the other celebrities on this site, that net worth makes him one of the most successful in the field of competitive eating. Chestnut's career in the world of competitive eating began in 2005, when the young San Jose State University first became ensnared in the unique subculture of competitive eating. His break out performance was in a deep fried asparagus eating competition, in which he placed first by eating nearly six and a half pounds of deep fried asparagus in 11.5 minutes. From there, he entered the famous Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, where he placed third having swallowed 32 hot dogs. Chestnut's eating star continued to rise, defeating Sonya Thomas in the Waffle House World Waffle Eating championship. In his most recent outing at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, Chestnut earned his fifth straight victory, eating 62 entire hot dogs. However, his win was clouded by fellow competitor Takeru Kobiyashi, who was not an official entrant in the competition due to a technicality, and who beat Chestnut's showing by 7 hot dogs, having eaten 69 hot dogs. No matter who eats more hot dogs, Joey Chestnut is one of the brightest stars in competitive eating.

On July 4, 2007, Chestnut won the 92nd Annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, beating six-time defending champion Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi by consuming 66 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes, which set a new world record. The following year, he successfully defended his title by winning a 5 hot dog eat-off after tying Kobayashi in consuming 59 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. On July 4, 2009, Chestnut outlasted Kobayashi again, by consuming a new world record of 68 hot dogs and buns and winning his third consecutive title. On July 4, 2010, Chestnut took home his 4th consecutive Mustard Belt eating 54 dogs and buns.
