Jeremy Clarkson Cotswolds empire up 601 per cent in 12 months
The former Top Gear and Grand Tour presenter purchased Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, near Chipping Norton, back in 2008 before documenting his time there on Clarkson's Farm.
Last year, he bought a pub for £1m in Asthall near Burford and named it The Farmer's Dog.
Inside the pub he sells Hawkstone lager, an alcoholic drink brewed from malted barley grown on his 1,000 acre farm.

Hawkstone, named after a Cotswold stone, was announced earlier this year as the fastest-growing company in the region in the fourth annual Sunday Times 100 rankings.
The brewery, whose largest shareholder is the 65-year-old presenter, was ranked 23rd on the list, which ranks the 100 leading entrepreneurial businesses in the UK.
The brand is led by managing director Owen Jenkins, 44, and has expanded into more than 1,500 UK pubs.

Supermarkets also sell Hawkstone, including the Co-op, Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Morrisons.
The business has nearly tripled its sales to £21.3 million in the year up to March with an average annual growth of 134 per cent over the last three years.
Registered as The Cotswold Brewing Company Limited, the brewery is actually based in Bourton-On-The-Water, over the Oxfordshire border in Gloucestershire.
As of this month, it now employs 53 people - up from 28 in 2024, new accounts submitted to Companies House reveal.
Hawkstone's net worth has jumped from £432,000 last year to £3.079m this year, a 601 per cent increase in 12 months.
