Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper becomes a millionaire – two years after paying himself just 50p an hour for gruelling farm work

Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper becomes a millionaire – two years after paying himself just 50p an hour for gruelling farm work

Kaleb Cooper is reaping the rewards from his starring role on Clarkson’s Farm. 

The Mail’s Richard Eden can now reveal that Jeremy Clarkson’s, 64, popular sidekick pocketed £910,000 profit at Kaleb Cooper Productions, the company into which he channels his earnings from the series. 

Accounts report £960,000 in ᴀssets before bills, including £400,000 in cash. Meanwhile, his takings, in the year to June 2024, include a £666,000 profit for the year. 

He set up his TV company in 2021 and runs it alongside farming businesses K Cooper Contracting and K Cooper Holdings. 

Profits made there amount to £100,000 combined, meaning Cooper has now made his first million at 26. 

The Chipping Norton native has long spoken about his dream of owning his own farm – something that now seems more achievable due to his newfound fame.

Kaleb had previously mentioned paying himself just 50p an hour due to the volatile nature of farming costs and profit margins, especially when experimenting with new business ventures. 

In 2022, he shared: ‘When I’m working for myself when I’m feeding my calves in the morning – I bought eight calves,’

‘It’s like a little bit of a new business idea that I’m doing, buying calves in and then feed them on milk, which costs me about £200 a calf, then selling them at nine months.’ 

He added: ‘I’m trying to get a profit and see if it will work. I worked it out the other day, do you know how much my hourly rate is, how much I pay myself? 50p an hour.’ 

His hourly rate was a stark contrast to his hard work, as Jeremy, who has praised Kaleb as ‘the hardest working person I know’, pointed out that he works 18 hours a day, with no days off.

Kaleb, who shares two children – Oscar, three, and Willa, one – with fiancée Taya, has consistently said that his ‘one goal in life’ is to own his own farm, something he wants ‘more than anything.’

It comes after Kaleb recently announced on Instagram that his fiancée is pregnant with their third child. 

Alongside a picture of an ultrasound scan and a babygrow, he announced: ‘Very excited to announce that’s baby number 3 cooking . . . going to be a busy August.’

His partner Taya, who he has been with for eight years, added: ‘So excited, can’t wait. Our family is growing.’ 

In the past, Kaleb has opened up about the difficulties of watching Taya give birth. 

He explained that he felt ‘useless’ while she was in labour, as he wasn’t sure what he should have been doing at the time.

He explained: ‘It was f*****g terrible, because when I’m helping that cow, I know exactly what I’m doing. I can bring the calf around to the mum and so on.’ 

‘Now, when Taya was giving birth, I felt useless. I’m seeing her in pain having one of my kids.’
