Jeremy Clarkson’s working career with Richard Hammond and James May has come to an end.
Clarkson, 64, is continuing to earn his buck airing Amazon’s docuseries about his Diddly Squat farm after he purchased the 1,000-acre plot of land in 2008.
The former Top Gear star also extended his business empire by purchasing a Cotswolds pub for £1million.
However, Clarkson, Hammond and May signed off the dissolution of their Grand Tour producing company W Chump and Sons on July 11.

The documents included declaring solvency, appointing a voluntary liquidator and making a “special resolution to wind up”.
Filed accounts indicated an annual turnover of £6million and assets of around £3.8million.
However, the net worth of the three men has also grown massively since their Top Gear days.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Richard Hammond has given an update on the future of the Grand Tour AMAZON PRIME Clarkson is worth around £55million, Hammond £35million and May £31million.
The trio left the BBC in 2015 to set up Grand Tour after Clarkson’s contract was not renewed following an incident with a producer.
The final episode of Grand Tour is expected to air on Amazon Prime later this year.
May said: “I’m not allowed to tell you what date it’s coming out, so I won’t say that it’s September. I can say anything I want now, frankly.”
James May has lined up a new show following his Grand Tour departure PA He added: “I recorded today the last piece of voice-over I will ever record for The Grand Tour – and therefore in that whole legacy of Grand Tour, Top Gear and the few things I did before that.
“We’ve done it for nearly 22 years – a lot longer than we thought we would. I thought, when I started doing it in 2003 or 2004, that this was a bit of a laugh. Maybe it’ll last a few years.
“And, here we are, grey and wizened and sagging. And we’ve only just stopped doing it. It’s quite remarkable.”
Clarkson separately said: “We’ve spent more time in each other’s company than our families’ over the last 25 years so I don’t think it would have lasted as long as it did if we’d hated each other as much as James likes to think.”
