Farming wasn’t considered very glamorous for decades – until it was. With the launch of shows like Our Yorkshire Farm, Clarkson’s Farm and Fletchers’ Family Farm, agriculture has sprung into the realm of A-listers.
Amanda Owen, Kelvin Fletcher and Jeremy Clarkson are among the huge stars exchanging a typical telly career for an outdoor venture full of crops, cattle and sometimes catastrophe.
Viewers at home have watched the sad deaths of animals, the triumphs of a tough harvest and the difficulties of fixing up the farm to operate at its best despite wintery British conditions.
But who is the richest celebrity farmer on the list? Based on net worths, we’ve laid it all out – and Channel 5 star Amanda Owen comes in joint last place.
Amanda Owen – £1million
With a wealth of TV shows under her belt including Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm and Channel 4’s Our Farm Next Door, Amanda Owen shot to fame with her husband Clive and their nine children.
She’s raising the kids on Ravenseat Farm, and has built up a net worth of £1million – earing around £250,000 annually from magazine deals and her books.
According to Companies House, her company Yorkshire Shepherdess Ltd. had £694,268 in net assets for 2024, down slightly from £816,909 in 2023.
Kaleb Cooper – £1million
Working for Jeremy Clarkson can’t be easy, but thankfully Kaleb Cooper has made it work.
The Chipping Norton farmhand has managed to launch a lucrative side career since starring on Clarkson’s Farm – going on tour, writing books and even launching his own reality show.
Kaleb reportedly made £1million in 2025, with around £800,000 coming from media work and £100,000 from meat sales made via Cooper Livestock Ltd. He also made £60,000 selling rugby merchandise, with £85,000 coming from farming and contracting work.
He admitted he is “saving everything” but farm prices in the Cotswolds are “through the roof”.
JB Gill – £3million
JLS star JB Gill might be best known for his career in pop music and stint on BBC’s Strictly, but he’s actually been running a family farm for more than a decade.
JB and his wife Chloe purchased a working farm in Kent when he was still in JLS’s first run, confessing that he wanted to raise kids in a rural environment.
JB said: “I’d often heard it said that growing up on a farm is second to none.
“It was one of the reasons why I wanted my own young family to establish our roots in the countryside, despite having spent most of my life living in a city.”
He also supplies a signature line of KellyBronze turkeys from his farm to numerous A-listers, including stars from One Direction and Little Mix.
According to The Mirror, JB’s net worth sits at an impressive £3million thanks to a series of side hustles.
He previously said: “When I was with JLS, we were paid five-figure and six-figure sums for private gigs where we would typically do sets lasting no more than 20 minutes.
“Obviously we’d split these fees four ways… Once, we were paid a huge amount to have dinner with a wealthy gentleman and his daughters. We didn’t sing at all – we just ate with the family. That was pretty cool.”
He received an impressive £100,000 for reaching the Strictly final, and his 19-acre Kent home is worth £1.5million.
