Jeremy Clarkson has an estimated net worth of $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Jeremy Clarkson net worth page (figures as of October 1, 2026).
Jeremy Clarkson is an English television presenter, journalist, author and TV farmer. He is best known for hosting the motoring shows Top Gear and The Grand Tour with Richard Hammond and James May. He also hosts the quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and its spin-off Millionaire Hot Seat, and stars in the farming series Clarkson's Farm.
He began as a local journalist in northern England and rose to fame as a presenter on the original format of Top Gear from 1988 to 2000. Since the mid-1990s he has been one of Britain's best-known personalities, and in 2006 the British public placed him in the top 20 of an ITV poll of TV's greatest stars.
How Jeremy Clarkson makes his money
Clarkson's biggest earnings came from the relaunched Top Gear. Under his lead it became one of the most-watched factual shows in the world, sold to broadcasters in many countries. He was a key part of the company that held rights to the format, and when that stake was sold he received a large payout.
After leaving the BBC, he and his co-hosts signed a lucrative deal with Amazon for The Grand Tour, one of the most expensive streaming deals for a factual show at the time.
He has more streams too. He hosts Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, writes newspaper columns and best-selling books, and runs a farm made famous by Clarkson's Farm, which also brings income from a pub and farm shop.
His blunt style has made headlines many times, but it has also made him one of the most watched presenters in Britain.
