Clarkson’s Farm has hooked fans with its portrayal of presenter Jeremy Clarkson navigating the highs and lows of farm life but just how much has Jeremy been paid for the hit show?
Jeremy Clarkson’s leap from the fast-paced world of journalism to the serene countryside of farming has hooked audiences in the hit series Clarkson’s Farm. As the show returns to Amazon Prime Video for its third series, Jeremy and his girlfriend Lisa Hogan get into the swing of farming life over at Diddly Squat, from lambing to tractor driving.
Jeremy’s transition from celebrity presenter to farmer has been a humbling journey, as highlighted by the surprising revelation at the end of the first series of Clarkson’s Farm. Jeremy was taken aback to discover that he had earned a mere £144 for the entire year, once exorbitant expenses were deducted.
While acknowledging that his celebrity status provided a financial cushion, Jeremy expressed genuine empathy for the challenges faced by fellow farmers dealing with substantial losses. Despite his meagre earnings from the farm, the star is believed to have an overall net worth of $60 Million (£43million), and he is a highly sought-after talent.
According to reports from the Mirror, the presenter was reportedly offered a three series deal with Amazon Prime for the hit show that could reportedly earn him an eye-watering figure of more than £200 million.
In the new series, we watch as Lisa takes the reins in the farm shop – however she’s given a wake-up call by land agent Charlie Ireland after trying to sell items that aren’t from the local area. He has a serious chat with Lisa in one episode, warning that she could end up with a criminal record if she doesn’t stop selling items that come from beyond 16 miles of the farm.
Lisa revealed ahead of Clarkson’s Farm series three that she wasn’t afraid to face prison. “I was going to take one for the team literally,” she said. “You pay so much in business rates, taxes, then you give it to them and they use it to fight to close you down.”
