Kaleb Cooper becomes a millionaire, just two years after 50p-an-hour farm work

Kaleb Cooper, the 26-year-old breakout star of Jeremy Clarkson’s hit series Clarkson’s Farm, has officially joined the millionaire ranks.

Newly filed company accounts show that his production firm, Kaleb Cooper Productions, amassed £910,000 in profit over the past year, contributing to a total of £960,000 in assets — including £400,000 in cash.

This windfall, combined with further earnings from his agricultural businesses, puts Cooper comfortably past the seven-figure milestone.

The rise is particularly striking given Cooper’s comments just two years ago about paying himself only 50p an hour. Back then, he was grappling with the unpredictable costs of launching his own ventures, such as buying and rearing calves to sell on for profit. His famously tough schedule — often working 18-hour days without a break — underscores how hard he has laboured to turn his ambitions into reality.

Having set up Kaleb Cooper Productions in 2021, Cooper runs it alongside two farming ventures: K Cooper Contracting and K Cooper Holdings. These side businesses have jointly generated around £100,000 in profits. With this success, the Chipping Norton native is closer than ever to fulfilling his long-held dream of owning his own farm — a goal he has described as his “one goal in life.”

Meanwhile, the personal news keeps coming. Cooper recently announced that he and his fiancée, Taya, are expecting their third child, adding another dimension to his ever-changing life off the farm.
