TV chef Anne Burrell has left behind an estate valued at roughly $2 million, following her unexpected passing at the age of 55. The culinary world is in mourning after the beloved Food Network star was found unresponsive in her Brooklyn home on June 17.
Burrell’s real estate investments showcased her keen eye for property, with her charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom retreat in Brooklyn being purchased in 2019 for $1.53 million. The current estimated value of the property stands at approximately $1.94 million, reflecting her financial acumen.
Just days before her untimely death, Burrell wowed audiences at her debut improv show in Brooklyn, leaving fans and sources alike in awe of her talents and vibrant spirit. Despite owing $1.1 million on her mortgage according to records from 2022, her legacy goes beyond numbers, encompassing the joy and warmth she brought to those around her.
In a 2024 interview with Brooklyn Palate, Burrell expressed her love for her home and neighborhood, emphasizing her desire to create a space of comfort and happiness for all who entered. Her family released a touching statement following her passing, highlighting her role as a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend.
Burrell’s absence from the latest season of “Worst Cooks in America” has left fans eager for answers, while her dream of appearing on Meghan Markle’s Netflix show to make scones for her husband, Stuart Claxton, remains unfulfilled. Burrell and Claxton tied the knot in October 2021, after a whirlwind romance that began during the pandemic.
While Burrell’s legacy is rooted in her culinary talents and infectious personality, her departure has left a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. She is survived by her husband, his son, Javier, her mother, Marlene, and her sister, Jane, who will continue to cherish her memory and the joy she brought into their lives.
