Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has made it clear he dreams of one day being able to buy his own farm, but to do that he's going to need a decent amount of money.
Fortunately he's got his fingers in several pies and last year it seemed like he made a decent wad of cash from his various ventures, although what really matters is how much he was actually able to take home and put towards a future farm fund.
According to The Sun he's done rather well for himself last year as they claim he has raked in around £800,000 from his TV and media work - as he's not only on Clarkson's Farm but also developed his own touring show.
They reckon his Cooper Livestock Ltd range where you can buy various cuts of meat, eggs and some merchandise made him about £100,000, while his farming and contracting work earned £85,000, and he made a further £60,000 in terms of merchandise.

Of course this wouldn't be his take home pay - Kaleb's got to pay his taxes and there are other people in the business who have to be paid as well.
But it's a decent amount of money for the man and his TV work certainly seems to be doing alright, especially with helping him reach is goal of affording a proper farm of his own.
Part of the reason Kaleb has become such a star on Clarkson's Farm is because he contracts out to other farms. If you need someone to do some proper farming (as Jeremy Clarkson clearly does) then you can hire Kaleb to do it for you.
Even though Kaleb is clearly a very competent farmer, one of the main points Clarkson's Farm has brought up is that it can be really hard to actually make money from farming.
Clarkson gets to try various schemes for his TV show but being paid by Amazon to film it all is what brings in the big bucks, and other farmers don't have popular streaming shows to help pay the bills.
Kaleb's previously told the Farmer's Guardian that it's his dream to own his own farm and that's what he is working towards.
Making it clear he really loves farming, he said he was going to keep at it despite the TV fame and said it was a 'way of life' that he loves.
He said: "I am not going to chuck away my main business, the thing that feeds me, just because I am on TV.
"I work every day. When I am away I am still doing all the calls and buying cows and selling cows and sorting contracts out with farmers. If you are in the right job I firmly believe that you wake up and go, 'Right, great, what is happening today?' rather than waking up and thinking you cannot bear to go to work.
"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.
"There is something that has stuck in my head continuously: Dreams don't work unless you do."
