TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson’s alleged net worth has been revealed as he continues to endure struggles on his Diddly Squat Farm, based in Oxfordshire. In addition to his newfound plethora of fans from his Prime Video reality show, Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy is also best known for fronting the BBC motoring series Top Gear alongside James May and Richard Hammond. After the trio moved to Amazon Prime with The Grand Tour, Jeremy purchased Chadlington’s Diddly Squat, then known as Curdle Hill Farm, back in 2008.
Since 2021, the 65-year-old has been documenting his agricultural adventures as he attempts to run a farm with no prior experience. The series proved to be hugely successful and drew in record-breaking viewership, with its fourth season alone attracting over 5 million viewers in the UK, surpassing Britain’s Got Talent. With the fifth season on its way, Clarkson’s Farm has undoubtedly contributed to Jeremy’s net worth, which is believed to have grown to a staggering £59 million.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jeremy’s earnings have skyrocketed in addition to his annual television salary of an estimated £3 million when he took on the presenting gig for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
This comes after the novice farmer faced unexpected economic problems in recent months, with a particularly poor harvest.
Just last month, he said: “It looks like this year’s harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
In another recent setback, Jeremy was forced to confront when bovine tuberculosis (TB) struck Diddly Squat Farm.
He revealed to Times Radio that a veterinarian had made the heartbreaking discovery. Later, he told fans: “Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated.”

However, the TV star was dealt yet another crushing blow as he issued a “near fatal” issue which had struck the farm. In his announcement, Jeremy said that he is taking his life into his own hands, as he has been risking eating poisonous mushrooms every day.
In his column for The Sun, the 65-year-old said he goes to the field next to his house to collect some eggs for breakfast, which is “carpet in mushrooms”.
He explained: “There are 15,000 different types of mushrooms in the UK and you can eat all of them. But some of them only once. And that’s where things get tricky. Because it’s nigh on impossible to tell which ones are fatal and which ones are not.
“So I just chuck them all in a pan at lunchtime and play Russian roulette.”
