Following their decision to wind down The Grand Tour, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May—and producer Andy Wilman—are set to receive a significant financial boost.
According to reports, the trio, along with Wilman, stand to share in £6 million each from remaining assets held in their production company, W. Chump & Sons. The payout stems from approximately £22.9 million in cash reserves, plus an additional £1.11 million from trade debtors. The liquidation of this company is reportedly underway after their final episode aired earlier this year.

W. Chump & Sons was initially created to manage the income generated through The Grand Tour. With the show ending and the hosts pursuing individual projects—Clarkson’s farming venture, May’s gin brand, and Hammond’s workshop endeavours—the company is being formally dissolved. Documents filed with Companies House include a declaration of solvency and a special resolution to wind up its operations.
