Jeremy Clarkson – £45 Million
Although Jeremy Clarkson’s fans know him best as the lovable leader of the trio of presenters on BBC’s “Top Gear,” he has since reaffirmed his bankable TV persona after joining forces with Netflix. After the success of “The Grand Tour,” a spin-off of his car-themed show on the BBC, the TV host then dove in headfirst with his new project “Clarkson’s Farm” which proved to be a commercial success in 2021.
For his services on “Top Gear” Clarkson was paid handsomely, with his basic yearly salary of £2.9 million that rose to somewhere between £5 to £9 million given that he also owned 30 percent of the show’s rights.
