Hi there!
It's highly variable depending on a number of factors, but I cant help you navigate those factors if getting paid big is what motivates your career.
1. Location (big cities pay more)
2. Size of staff
3. Your experience
A lot of what makes a head chef a head chef is less about cooking, but more about industry and people management knowledge. You are running a team. In San Francisco, for example, a head chef can make $100k+, but can be all the way to $300k at the biggest and th e best.

You can make as much as you set your mind to as a Chef! It’s all up to you. How passionate are you? Always strive for perfection in the kitchen and remember, someone else is trusting you to feed them. Private chefs make $100,000 year and up. I hope this helps. Good luck!
