TV farmer Kaleb Cooper among 30 inspiring rising stars on Young Power List 2025
TV farmer Kaleb Cooper is among 30 inspiring rising stars who feature on The Sunday Times Young Power List 2025.
The 26-year-old Clarkson’s Farm favourite got the nod after working 18-hour days and shunning a celebrity lifestyle.
Also featured on the prestigious list are reality TV star Molly-Mae Hague, F1 ace Lando Norris and England footballer Cole Palmer.
The selection is made up of under-30s from the worlds of business, entertainment, politics, sport and food.
Kaleb became one of the unlikely stars of the hugely popular Amazon Prime Video show set on Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.
Viewers regularly see him tell Sun columnist and farm owner Jeremy Clarkson where he is going wrong.
Kaleb said: “People say, ‘You speak to Jeremy like he’s an idiot’. Well, he is — on the farming side. He’s good at being a journalist.”
He barely attended school since the age of 13 and began helping out on a nearby farm. Now his dream is to own one with fiancée Taya and their children.
He has also had three books published and is a millionaire. Maisie Peters, 24, who has supported the likes of Coldplay, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, is the only singer to feature on the list.
Other names include Sex Education star Bella Maclean, 27, and Saba Sams, 28, author of short story collection Send Nudes and debut novel Gunk.
Identical twin Team GB runners Laviai and Lina Nielsen, 29, made the grade.
And the list includes entrepreneur Toby Brown — who at 16 secured $1million in Silicon Valley investment for his AI start-up Beem — and Fergal Mackie, 27-year-old inventor of a bionic hand that can function without electronics.
