James May, 58, $13 Million
If you are a car enthusiast, you have probably heard about the show dedicated to these fast machines, Top Gear. James May hosted the show with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. With a long-running popular series under his belt, an estimated $13 million fortune is probably on the conservative side.
James and the show’s forerunners, the BBC, have since parted ways, but we can assume that the former walked away with a healthy sum. The host probably doesn’t worry about money because he’s also quite the guy in the kitchen. With that, May turned over a new leaf and wrote a cookbook. Smart move, right?
