Mega-matchmaker and boxer-philosopher, the magnificent maître d’ of First Dates Fred Sirieix’s net worth is still under review. Fred Sirieix was born in January 1972 to hospital nurses Francoise and Claude Sirieix, in Limoges, France. At 20, Sirieix landed in London in pursuit of a career in the hotel industry, beginning at the Michelin-starred restaurant La Tante Claire (opened in 1977 and closed in 2004) as a Chef de Rang. He soon found himself working in various roles at London’s top restaurants such as Sartoria, Le Gavroche and Brasserie Roux.
