Jeremy Clarkson Family Background
Before we learn about Jeremy Clarkson’s impressive height and net worth, let us learn a little more about his background.
Let us first begin with his age, just how old is the famous TV broadcaster?
Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson was born on 11th April 1960 in Doncaster, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. This makes him 60 years old this year!
His upbringing was an interesting one. Clarkson’s parents had a business selling tea cosies, which was not a particularly lucrative business at the time.
Nevertheless, they enrolled Clarkson into private schools with no way at the time to pay for his school fees.
When Clarkson was 13 years old, his parents created stuffed Paddington Bear toys that quickly gained popularity, so they started selling them through their business.
But by selling the bears without bearing intellectual property rights, Michael Bond, creator of Paddington Bear took legal action.
Bond and Clarkson’s father, Edward Clarkson were set to meet and discuss about the dispute but coincidentally met in the lift and quickly built a rapport. The Clarksons were then awarded license to sell globally, eventually penetrating into Britain’s then biggest toy store, Hamleys.
Because of this, Jeremy was able to attend the private Hill House School and later Repton School.
Jeremy Clarkson Writing Career
Jeremy Clarkson’s first ever job was as a travelling salesman for his parents, selling their famous Paddington Bear toys.
Later, he started training as a journalist, writing for several notable newspapers.
Clarkson’s passion as a motoring writer began with the Shropshire Star where he wrote on Fiats and Peugeots.
He said:
“I started small, on the Shropshire Star with little Peugeots and Fiats and worked my way up to Ford Granadas and Rovers until, after about seven years, I was allowed to drive an Aston Martin Lagonda… It was 10 years before I drove my first Lambhorgini.”
Clarkson had also been regularly writing for the Top Gear magazine since its launch in 1993.
Besides that, he also regularly wrote for newspapers like The Sun and The Sunday Times.
Jeremy Clarkson Height and Career
The journalist’s most notable appearance on TV was when he became one of the presenters on the famous British motoring programme Top Gear.

So, what is the motor enthusiast’s height? Jeremy Clarkson has an impressive height of 6ft and 4.5 inches!
The motor enthusiasts’ net worth is also impressive, as he is estimated to worth around £30 million!
Clarkson, alongside his Top Gear co-stars and Andy Wilman, Top Gear executive producer, runs TV company W Chump & Sons, which brings in massive profits for the partners.
Unsurprisingly, the motor enthusiast owns several expensive cars during his lifetime. According to CarKeys, among this list are his Ford GT, Alfa Romeo GTV6, and Aston Martin Virage.
You can only imagine how much all these cars are worth in total!
Clarkson’s Personal Life
Besides his interesting career, Clarkson also has an interesting personal life.
His first marriage was a short one in 1989, when he married Alex Hall, who later left him after six months for one of his friends.
Then in 1993, Clarkson married daughter of Robert Henry Cain, Frances Cain, who was also Clarkson’s manager. The pair had three children together.

However, their marriage also did not last very long, as his second wife filed for divorce in April 2014.
It came to light that Clarkson was still engaged in an affair with his first wife, Alex, among several other allegations.
Most recently in the beginning of 2017, Clarkson made an official appearance with his new partner, Lisa Hogan.
Lisa is no stranger to difficult men, as her first marriage also did not go as planned.
Nonetheless, the gorgeous blonde seems to be what Clarkson needs, as controversies surrounding both celebrities seem to have come to a halt.
With settlements from his previous divorce coming to an end, who knows? Maybe Clarkson will soon be ready for wife no. 3?
