Jeremy Clarkson has reportedly bagged an eye-watering amount from Amazon for Clarkson’s Farm
As Clarkson’s Farm returns for its third series, you may be wondering how much its star is paid.
The Amazon Prime show sees Jeremy Clarkson swap out supercars for tractors while running Diddly Squat farm in the Cotswolds.
Over the past two seasons, Clarkson has contended with disobedient animals, unresponsive crops, a global pandemic and the worst farming weather in years.
And, at the end of the show’s first season, the presenter was dealt with a pretty big blow as he learnt the meagre earnings the now famous farm had made.
After expenses, Diddly Squat had made just £114 profit from a year’s trading.
Clarkson was taken aback by the figure and expressed great empathy for the challenges faced by fellow farmers.
But, it seems the star doesn’t have too much to worry about, as his estimated Amazon Prime paycheque has been revealed.

According to reports from the Mirror, the presenter was reportedly offered a three series deal with the streaming platform that could reportedly bag him an eye-watering figure of more than £200 million.
The latest series of the show, which was released last Friday (May 3), sees Clarkson’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan join the farming efforts.
In one episode, she’s given a bit of a wake-up call by land agent Charlie Ireland who warns her she could end up with a criminal record if she sells items that aren’t from the local area.
Lisa, who’d been running Diddly Squat’s farm shop, later revealed that she wasn’t afraid of facing prison.

“I was going to take one for the team literally,” she told the Mirror. “You pay so much in business rates, taxes, then you give it to them and they use it to fight to close you down.
“It seems strange, the behaviour. They’ve done me a favour actually because I wouldn’t have found half of my suppliers unless I really had to search for them within 16 miles. So I’m really grateful to them for that.
“But I just think [the council] overreacts a little bit sometimes.”
Lisa also revealed that she’s found working alongside Clarkson ‘pretty easy.’
“We’re probably so totally co-dependent at this stage because we spend so much time together but he’s so interesting,” she said.
“He’s so fascinating and I just love watching the way his brain works, and I always get surprised.
“I think it’s going one way and it’s not. He’s been in the business for a long time. He is really good at it. I love it.”
