Privacy NoticeThe Grand Tour star Jeremy Clarkson encountered a series of obstacles in the latest season of his other Amazon Prime show, Clarkson’s Farm. The ex-Top Gear host sadly lost several newborn piglets and struggled to turn a profit solely from farming. Additionally, he was served with a closure notice from the council for Diddly Squat Farm. Despite these setbacks, his appearances on Clarkson’s Farm and a substantial pay out from The Grand Tour have significantly bolstered his financial standing. But what is his net worth? Last year, reports suggested that the 64-year-old TV personality had amassed an estimated fortune of around £55 million. The former BBC presenter started his career humbly as a motoring journalist at the Rotherham Advertiser, but his earnings have skyrocketed since then. He first joined Top Gear as a presenter in 1988, working for ten years before returning in 2002, eventually becoming the BBC’s highest-paid star, reports the Mirror.

Despite the setback, Jeremy managed to bounce back, doubling his annual television salary to an estimated £3 million when he landed a presenting role on ITV’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. It has also been speculated that he received a hefty pay out after selling his 50 per cent stake in the production company Bedder 6, which held the rights to Top Gear. Jeremy saw his career soar to new heights after clinching a staggering £160 million deal with Amazon Prime to craft 36 thrilling episodes of The Grand Tour, reinventing adventure television alongside cohorts Richard Hammond and James May. Yet, the intriguing trio have now slammed on the brakes, bringing the show to a climactic end. It’s rumoured that Clarkson continued to rake in an impressive £10 million annually from his involvement with the renowned series. Despite reaping substantial earnings and mingling in high-profile circles, Jeremy’s venture into agriculture, retreating to a farm in Oxfordshire to try his hand at growing crops, was an unexpected plot twist. After his first harvest, Jeremy humorously lamented the harsh truths of farming life, as his bank balance was tickled by a mere £114 increase. In another surprising turn, Jeremy left an advisor gobsmacked by proposing to launch his own beer line.

But always one to leverage his experiences, Jeremy turned his farming escapades into gold with the successful Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm, drawing fans into the daily dramas of Diddly Squat Farm. Capping off the series with dramatic flair, calamity ensued when Jeremy and his right-hand man Kaleb Cooper realised their cider supply was spontaneously combusting, prompting an urgent warning to the show’s devotees. Facing a volatile situation, Jeremy made an electrifying call to Kaleb, declaring: “The cider is exploding.” He exclaimed: “Immediately Kaleb and I rushed off to consult Rick, our lager brewer, about what had gone wrong.” Rick, their beer expert, broke the news that “thousands” of bottles had exploded. It’s reported that the renowned TV host Jeremy can command a whopping £25,000 for a single after-dinner speech. His impressive income streams from not only his television appearances but also his literary pursuits through books and newspaper columns, amassing an estimated fortune of £55 million. Additionally, he boasts an enviable collection of classic cars from prestigious marques such as Ferrari, Mercedes, Lamborghini, and McLaren, with their combined worth exceeding £500,000.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
