In 2009, Jeremy Clarkson bought a "farm" for £4.25 million, featuring a six-bedroom mansion with a swimming pool, tennis court, orchard, croquet lawn and five parking spaces. At the time he crowed he'd never have to pay any taxes on it. And back then he could easily afford it, making £14 million per year hosting "Top Gear," probably the most watched television show on the planet at the time. During the Thatcher years, in 1984, Inheritance Tax Relief was introduced so that wealthy landowners could protect their estates under the guise of protecting farmers.
