Ever wonder if the stars aligned just right to boost a humble farmhand into near-millionaire stardom? Well, as Clarkson’s Farm rolls out its fourth season on Amazon Prime, it seems the cosmic forces have been at play on Diddly Squat farm — especially for young Kaleb Cooper. While Jeremy Clarkson’s been a British icon for decades, thanks to revving engines and sharp wit on Top Gear, it’s Cooper who’s quietly plowed his way into the nation’s heart (and bank account) with grit, charm, and yes, some serious hustle. With the Sun shining brightly in Taurus—the sign that laughs in the face of chaos and values steady growth—Kaleb’s booming farming ventures and blossoming career as an author and educator feel almost celestial in timing. So as the 26-year-old preps his next book and his growing family, I can’t help but ask: is this just plain hard work, or is it a bit of star-powered destiny driving the tractor? Either way, get ready for a season filled with muddy boots, million-pound business moves, and maybe a lesson or two about where your food really comes from.
Clarkson’s Farm returned to Amazon Prime for a fourth season this week as fans look forward to catching up on life with Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper on Diddly Squat farm.
While the show has, for many, only affirmed Clarkson‘s status as a British icon thanks to his previous work on Top Gear, it has also introduced the British public to Cooper.
The 26-year-old, who recently addressed rumours that he has been replaced by Harriet Cowan in the new series, has found fame since the first series in 2021, and has even gone on to publish three books of his own.
As such, he’s established himself as perhaps the best known farmer in the UK, so it’s perhaps no surprise that his new-found success has led to plenty of financial gain.
According to the Express, figures from Companies House revealed that Kaleb Cooper Productions increased its assets from £122,000 to £242,000 in the year ending 30 June 2023.
In addition, his contracting business, Kaleb Cooper Contracting, more than doubled its assets from £52,000 to £96,000.
His overall net worth is believed to be close to £1 million.
Cooper has, of course, found fortune away from farming thanks to his successful tours, and his books, recently revealing his aspirations to write a book for children as he also prepares to welcome his third child with fiancée Taya.
Speaking on This Morning, Kaleb said: “I’ve written three books, and I thought to myself that I wanted to try and write a fourth and actually try and target the younger audience.”
He also emphasised the importance of teaching farming in schools, adding: “I think it’s important that we should start teaching these kids farming in school, so I want to try and run something with the promotion of my fourth book that comes out later this year, and try and get farming taught in schools and teach these kids where their food comes from.

“To me, it’s the most important job in the world because it’s what is keeping you alive on a day-to-day basis.”
Clarkson is certainly a big fan of his young employee, and has praised him highly in the past, saying: “He’ll drive up and down through the night, putting the right fertiliser on and taking pride in watching a healthy field take root. He’s also extremely good on television.”
Given that the 65-year-old has reportedly earned millions thanks to the popularity of the show, you’d hope that Cooper has earned a fair bit of compensation as well.
Clarkson’s Farm season four is available to watch on Prime Video, with two additional episodes releasing on 30 May, followed by the last two on 6 June.
