Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper is officially a millionaire.
The young farmer joined popular show in 2021 and has been able to make the most of his fame and create multiple sources of income.
Kaleb started his own business after being gifted chickens on his 13th birthday and began his contracting venture at 16, which he was paying himself a 50p per hour salary for.
Everything changed when he fell into the world of TV by accident.
The farmer didn't apply for the reality show, but found the venture when Jeremy Clarkson bought the farm he was working on.
The Top Gear presenter kept Kaleb around to teach him how to run Diddly Squat farm.
Kaleb's comfort on camera became clear by his unfiltered manner, which brings heaps of entertainment to viewers.
The show's producer Andy Wilman, told The Times of the team’s excitement when Kaleb joined the show: "Here was this 21-year-old, completely unselfconscious about bollocking the big beast of Top Gear. He took Jeremy apart with such charm and wit. We high-fived in the editing suite: it was TV gold."
As well as the show, the father of two has released a series of books including The World According to Kaleb, Britain According to Kaleb: The Wonderful World of Country Life and Life According to Kaleb.
In 2024 he set out on a 33 date tour across the UK in which he shared his thoughts with the audience on everything from personal style to sheep and of course, Jeremy.
His hard work is paying off (literally), as his company's annual filing hit £908,860 in cash and assets, a £242,000 increase on the previous year.
While he has already achieved so much, Cooper has future plans to invest in a farm of his own.
"Farming is not a job for me, it is a way of life and I love that way of life. My dream is to buy my own farm and that is what I am aiming towards," he revealed to Farming Life.
In order to merge is day job an media work, Kaleb currently works 115-hour per week in hopes he can retire young.
Speaking to The Times, he revealed his future goals: "I’ll make all the money now, hopefully, have a farm, then chill out, go partying and be in Ibiza, though I can’t think of anything worse than being in a nightclub."
The price of 100 acres in Chipping Norton, the area where Kaleb lives and Diddly Squat is located, sits upwards of £4 million, so there's a while to go yet.
New episodes of Clarkson's Farm are set to arrive on Amazon Prime in May.
