Kaleb Cooper's massive net worth following Clarkson's Farm success

Clarkson's Farm returned to Amazon Prime for a fourth season this week as fans look forward to catching up on life with Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper on Diddly Squat farm.

While the show has, for many, only affirmed Clarkson's status as a British icon thanks to his previous work on Top Gear, it has also introduced the British public to Cooper.

The 26-year-old, who recently addressed rumours that he has been replaced by Harriet Cowan in the new series, has found fame since the first series in 2021, and has even gone on to publish three books of his own.

As such, he's established himself as perhaps the best known farmer in the UK, so it's perhaps no surprise that his new-found success has led to plenty of financial gain.

According to the Express, figures from Companies House revealed that Kaleb Cooper Productions increased its assets from £122,000 to £242,000 in the year ending 30 June 2023.

In addition, his contracting business, Kaleb Cooper Contracting, more than doubled its assets from £52,000 to £96,000.

His overall net worth is believed to be close to £1 million.

Cooper has, of course, found fortune away from farming thanks to his successful tours, and his books, recently revealing his aspirations to write a book for children as he also prepares to welcome his third child with fiancée Taya.

Speaking on This Morning, Kaleb said: "I've written three books, and I thought to myself that I wanted to try and write a fourth and actually try and target the younger audience."

He also emphasised the importance of teaching farming in schools, adding: "I think it's important that we should start teaching these kids farming in school, so I want to try and run something with the promotion of my fourth book that comes out later this year, and try and get farming taught in schools and teach these kids where their food comes from.

"To me, it's the most important job in the world because it's what is keeping you alive on a day-to-day basis."

Clarkson is certainly a big fan of his young employee, and has praised him highly in the past, saying: "He'll drive up and down through the night, putting the right fertiliser on and taking pride in watching a healthy field take root. He's also extremely good on television."

Given that the 65-year-old has reportedly earned millions thanks to the popularity of the show, you'd hope that Cooper has earned a fair bit of compensation as well.

Clarkson's Farm season four is available to watch on Prime Video, with two additional episodes releasing on 30 May, followed by the last two on 6 June.
