Kaleb Cooper of Clarkson’s Farm fame is a MILLIONAIRE – 2 years after paying himself 50p an-hour for gruelling farm work
TELLY farmer Kaleb Cooper is now a millionaire after paying himself just 50p an hour a few years ago.
The sidekick to Jeremy Clarkson on the hugely popular Amazon show once admitted to earning a pittance.

He rakes in cash from appearing in the show, starring live on stage in a tour about his life, and has even penned a book.
The outfit that takes in cash from his media work – Kaleb Cooper Productions Ltd – filed its annual accounts this week and now has a bottom line of £908,860 of cash and assets for 2024 – up from £242,000 in the previous year.
A second firm called Kaleb Cooper Holdings Ltd is more than £46,000 in the black.
Clarkson’s Farm star Cooper has spoken often about his desire to own his own farm – something which now looks a lot more of a reality through his new-found fame.
The Chipping Norton native previously spoke about only paying himself 50p an hour due to the volatile costs and profit margins associated with the industry – especially when it comes to trying new business ventures in the industry.
He said in 2022: “When I’m working for myself, when I’m feeding my calves in the morning – I bought eight calves, it’s like a little bit of a new business idea that I’m doing, buying calves in and then feed them on milk, which costs me about £200 a calf, then selling them at nine months.
“I’m trying to get a profit and see if it will work.
“I worked it out the other day, do you know how much my hourly rate is, how much I pay myself? 50p an hour.”
And the hourly rate makes it even worse, according to Sun columnist Clarkson, who said of Cooper: “He’s a wonderful, wonderful person. The hardest working person I know.
“He doesn’t have a day off either. He does 18 hours a day, every day.”
Unlikely heartthrob Cooper, 26, who shares kids Oscar, three, and one-year-old Willa with fiancee Taya, has said his “one goal in life” is to own his own farm, with it what he wants “more than anything”.
It comes after Kaleb announced on Instagram that his fiancee is pregnant with their third child.
Alongside a picture of an ultrasound scan and a babygrow, he wrote: “Very excited to announce that’s baby number 3 cooking . . . going to be a busy August.”
His partner Taya, who he has been with for eight years, added: “So excited, can’t wait. Our family is growing.”
Fortunately the Cooper business is booming, too.
Kaleb has previously revealed how he struggled watching Taya give birth in the past.
He explained that he felt ‘useless’ during fianceé Taya‘s labour as he didn’t know what he should be doing at the time.
He explained: “It was f***ing terrible, because when I’m helping that cow, I know exactly what I’m doing. I can bring the calf around to the mum and so on.
“Now, when Taya was giving birth, I felt useless. I’m seeing her in pain having one of my kids.”
