JEREMY CLARKSON—$60 MILLION

Broadcaster, motorist, and television presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, who many will know as one of the hosts of the highly successful motoring show, The Grand Tour, has been estimated by wealth tracking sites to be worth a cool $60 million. Interestingly enough, Clarkson said that as a kid, he hated school with a vengeance. It made him a “suicidal wreck,” and he was often expelled for being a nuisance. Well, it turned out that his juvenile shenanigans would be a hit among petrol heads the world over.

Today Clarkson is, to his credit, widely considered to be the most entertaining motoring broadcaster both in the UK and US. During his career, Clarkson was nominated for BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance in 2006. However, Jonathan Ross took home the award. In the following year, Clarkson won the National Television Awards Special Recognition Award. In the same year, reports surfaced that he earned £1 million for his Top Gear presenter performance.
