He might have been axed from the BBC but judging by this news, Jeremy Clarkson probably got over it quite quickly.
Clarkson is set to earn £10m a year from his new show, with big-spending Amazon Prime shelling out £160m on 36 episodes - a budget of £4.5m per episode.
The former Top Gear host will be increasing his old BBC wage tenfold, with fellow presenters Richard Hammond and James May also set for a significant pay rise.
The Amazon deal will make Clarkson the highest paid TV presenter going. Seems his exit from the Beeb hasn't worked out too badly.Explore more on these topics:
