All We Know About Jeremy’s Childhood And Highlights Of His Career
Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson, his birth name is British by birth. He was born on 11 April 1960 and was brought up in Doncaster, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. His parents, Shirley Gabrielle Clarkson and Edward Grenville Clarkson owned a business selling tea cozies. Jeremy had opened up about his terrible past, where he was a victim of a serious bully. His classmates from Repton School had thrown him into a cold plunge pool, beat him in the nighttime, forced him to lick the lavatories until clean, damaged his property, defecated in his tuck box, and cut his clothing. He added, he felt miserable at the time and felt like a “suicidal wreck”. Later he was expelled from the school, and he worked in a BBC radio on a serial adaptation of Anthony Buckeridge’s Jennings, named Children’s Hour, and voiced over the role of a public schoolboy, though later he had to discontinue because his voice almost broke after continuous voice overs. He tried several other jobs like being a traveling salesman for his parents’ business, a journalist for the Rotherham Advertiser, a writer under Rochdale Observer, Wolverhampton Express, and Star, Lincolnshire Life, Shropshire Star, and the Associated Kent Newspapers. He also gained some ideas on-road tests and automotive magazines and was an active writer of Top Gear since 1993. However, all of these were behind the scenes, and in 1988 he got his biggest chance to be on television as the presenter of Top Gear, and a few years after, he became the host of Top Gear. Most of Top Gear’s popularity is dedicated to him as after his appearance, Top Gear got included in the most-watched TV show on BBC Two. His other shows include the UK version of Robot Wars season 1, a fashion makeover show called What Not to Wear, Who Do You Think You Are? Season one, comedy show Room 101, a topical news panel show Have I Got News for You, and multiple others. Jeremy has also been an active speaker who makes statements on politics and environmental causes. This pretty much explains that his net worth would be a heavy amount. Top Gear became so popular nationally and internationally that the show earned over $211 million so, being the host and the biggest contributor towards the success, he also earned a good amount from the show. The net worth of Jeremy Clarkson is estimated to be near $50 million, which also makes him the richest former Top Gear presenter.
