The request was filed with Companies House, the UK body that approves new companies, startups and also the dissolution of businesses.
The hosts, along with Andy Wilman, founded the production company W. Chump & Sons in 2015, shortly after Clarkson was dismissed by the BBC. All four were listed as directors of the company.
Documents filed with Companies House on Monday (1) revealed that W. Chump & Sons was closed with $32,370,653 on record.
Clarkson, Hammond, May and Wilman could each pocket around $8 million.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May ended their more than 22-year-long partnership in 2024, with the conclusion of “The Grand Tour”, created in 2016 and streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
May told UNILAD why he believed the relationship with the other hosts had already come to an end.
“I think people would really only want to see us doing cars, despite what some say: ‘Ah, I think you should all go cook or do a podcast about nothing’. I think we should leave it as it is, what we’ve already done.”
