Jeremy Clarkson Made $21 Million From Top Gear Last Year

Here's yet another reason to be jealous of Jeremy Clarkson: not only does he have arguably the coolest job in the world as a Top Gear host, that gig has netted him a very large pile of money.

The BBC's recently-released annual report reveals that Clarkson took home more than £14 million, or about $21.15 million, last year thanks to various involvements with Top Gear.

First, he made £8.64 million, or about $13.06 million, in a deal that resulted in the sale of the company which controls Top Gear's commercial rights to the to the BBC.

Last year, BBC Worldwide struck a deal to take full control of Bedder 6, the joint venture company that controls Top Gear's merchandising, DVDs, live shows, and international versions of the program, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Bedder 6 was owned 50 percent by the BBC, 30 percent by Clarkson and 20 percent by executive producer Andy Wilman.

But with the BBC taking full control of Bedder 6, Clarkson made $13 million, and that's on top of his salary of nearly $1.5 million, as well as a $7.3 million dividend payment from the Bedder 6 deal, according to The Guardian. He is the highest paid earner at the BBC.

If you're a British taxpayer and you're miffed about the BBC taking over this company, be miffed no more, according to the newspaper:

"No licence fee income was used by BBC Worldwide to pay the exiting shareholders of Bedder 6 in 2012," said a spokesman for BBC Worldwide. "In just five years the business grew its profits five-fold (and its revenue to £149m), which would not have been possible without the involvement of the show's creative talent. The deal also secured the future of the Top Gear brand for the BBC and BBC Worldwide and we now benefit from 100% of its profit stream."

Over the last five years, Clarkson has made more than $15 million in dividends from the Bedder 6 arrangement, the newspaper reports.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows in Clarkson-land. His co-hosts, James May and Richard Hammond, have apparently expressed displeasure over how much money Clarkson made exploiting the brand globally, according to an unnamed "insider" who spoke to the Daily Mirror in September:

An insider said: “James and Richard have watched Jeremy making a fortune out of the show for years, massively outstripping their own earnings.

"The pair of them both felt that they had been heavily involved in developing the show into the international success it has become, and they made it clear they felt the deal was unfair.”

The new deal sees Clarkson sign a three-year contract to continue hosting the show with May and Mirror motoring columnist Hammond. All three will earn a dividend from the show’s global success in exchange for them promoting it around the world.

Honda & Top Gear unveil the Mean Mower

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... H_Qb4fdHfg

Ugrubo temeljena na Hodninom traktoru HF2620, kosilica Mean Mower ogoljena je do kostura i ponovno izrađena a tu je čast dobio Team Dynamics, Hondini stručnjaci za British Touring Car Championship, koji su dodali 'spaceframe' šasiju, pogonski agregat od 1000 kubika iz Hondinog VTR Firestorm motocikla, posebno rađen ovjes i gume s trkaćeg ATV-a.
Unatoč tomu što Mean Mower izvana izgleda kao standardna kosilica, nema ničeg normalnog u njenim performansama. Hondin motor dostavlja 109 KS i 96 Nm okretnog momenta što, teoretski, omogućava ubrzanje od 0-100 km/h za manje od četiri sekunde i rekordnu maksimalnu brzinu od oko 210 km/h. A k tome i dalje kosi travu!
Kosilica je postigla brzinu od 160 km/h na stazi tijekom godišnjeg Speed Week događaja u organizaciji Top Gear Magazinea, a na ovom je događaju snage odmjerilo 14 najboljih performansnih strojeva ove godine.
Osim izgleda, jedan od ključnih elemenata bio je da Mean Mower može raditi ono za što je namijenjen, dakle kositi travu. Za to brinu dva elektromotora na kućištu kosilice koja vrte 3mm debele čelične oštrice pri nevjerojatnih 4.000 o/min. Ovim putem želimo izraziti duboko žaljenje svakomu i svemu što se nađe na putu ovoj kosilici...
Na osnovu povratnih informacija Hondinih Yuasa Racing vozača, trostrukog BTCC prvaka Matta Neala i trenutnog prvaka Gordona Sheddena, Hondini inženjeri odlučili su ugraditi 'paddle-shift' 6-stupanjski mjenjač. Kosilica s polugicama za promjenu brzina na upravljaču, e to je stvarno otkačeno. Ali ni tu nije kraj. Mean Mower ima i posebno izrađeno Cobra sportsko sjedalo, Scorpion ispušni sustav i letva volana s Morris Minora.
Rezultat ovog nevjerojatnog inženjerskog pothvata je kosilica za travu koja je podešena da postigne maksimalnu brzinu od preko 200 km/h uz masu od tek 140 kg i maksimalan okretni moment od 96 Nm. To sve prevodi se u nevjerojatan omjer snage i mase od 532 KS po toni.

Tonight.

Kako 109ks na 140kg moze biti jednako 532ks po toni?

Japanska matematika...

jedino ako su dodali težinu vozača od 65 kg. jedino tad bi dobili 532ks po toni.

znači žena vozač.

Trio fantastiko.

Gledaoci besni nakon što je otkriveno da je jedna "spontana" scena haosa snimljena sa glumcima.
