Inside Kaleb Cooper’s 2025 Earnings and What the Clarkson’s Farm Favourite Made Last Year
The 27-year-old farmer, best known for his role on Clarkson’s Farm, recorded the figure in company accounts submitted to Companies House last week, offering a detailed look at how his earnings are spread across multiple ventures.
The figures show that the largest share of Kaleb’s income — approximately £800,000 — came from media and television work, reflecting his growing profile beyond the fields of Oxfordshire. A further £100,000 was generated through the sale of meat products, alongside £60,000 from branded merchandise. His core farming and contracting work contributed an additional £85,000.
According to The Sun, Kaleb’s long-term ambition is to use the proceeds to achieve a major personal goal: owning his own farm. For someone who has spoken openly about his deep attachment to the land, it represents a natural next step rather than a departure from his roots.
That entrepreneurial instinct has been evident from a young age. Kaleb has previously explained that his first business venture began on his 13th birthday, when his mother chose an unconventional gift.
“For my 13th birthday, my mum didn’t buy me a new phone or an Xbox,” he recalled. “Instead, she bought me three chickens.”
What followed was a rapid expansion. He began selling eggs door to door around Chipping Norton, carrying them in a basket. Within just two months, his small operation had grown to 450 chickens — a formative experience that laid the foundations for his future approach to business.
More recently, Kaleb has continued to diversify. In November, he launched his own meat business, offering steaks, sausages, burgers and barbecue boxes sourced from his operation. The move marked another step in building a brand beyond television, while remaining firmly tied to farming.
Last year also saw Kaleb step well outside familiar territory when he filmed a new four-part series in Australia — his first project away from the UK. Announcing the news on social media, he admitted the decision did not come easily.
“I’ve got some news — I’m going to be going down under to Australia to film my very own series on Prime Video,” he wrote. “You know how hard it is for me to leave Chippy, so flying to Australia is definitely taking me out of my comfort zone.”
He added that the project would explore whether his farming contracting business could operate on an international scale. “I’m on a mission to see if I can make my farming contracting business international,” he said, before joking: “First I’ve got to get through the flight.”
Despite the distance, Kaleb reassured followers that he would return home, signing off with: “Don’t fear my Chippy friends, I’ll be back.”
Back in the Cotswolds, his temporary absence did not go unnoticed by his boss. Jeremy Clarkson, the former Top Gear presenter, responded in his trademark dry style.
“I’m so happy about this,” Clarkson joked. “Because finally I can run my farm without him mucking everything up.”
For Kaleb Cooper, however, the numbers now emerging suggest that the blend of farming, business and television is paying off — and bringing his long-held ambition of running a farm of his own closer to reality.
