Jeremy Clarkson offers his services as a motivational speaker to Americans - ... trends now
Are your workers in need of a bit of uplifting? If so, would you pay petrolhead Jeremy Clarkson a somewhat hefty sum to come up with some words of encouragement?
For I hear the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host has signed on with US agency AAE Speakers to deliver motivational speeches to American companies — starting from £158,000.
'His opinionated but humorous tongue-in-cheek writing and presenting style has often provoked a public reaction,' AAE Speakers' website tells would-be clients.
It acknowledges: 'His actions, both privately and as a Top Gear presenter have also sometimes resulted in criticism from the media, politicians, pressure groups and the public.'
The fee, they explain, is for him to fly to the US to speak.

Top equestrian artist Georgea Blakey is in good form when it comes to staying friendly with an ex.
The socialite who previously painted a then Prince Charles with his polo pony, dated former champion jockey Richard Dunwoody, whom she has featured in her new exhibition 'Carousel'.
St Paul's-educated Georgea has included him in a portrait entitled Desert Orchid, below, on display at the Osborne Gallery in London.
The piece, which is worth £5,800 sees Dunwoody riding the legendary 'Dessie', who won 34 races including the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1989.
Georgea tells me at the private view of the exhibit: 'Yes, it is my ex Richard on Dessie. We are still on good terms and speak, though he is living in Spain now'.

Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge tried her best to go incognito as she watched her pal Maddie Rice perform in the gala performance of the comedy thriller The 39 Steps this week at the Richmond Theatre in London.
While 38-year-old Waller-Bridge avoided being snapped on the red carpet, she happily posed for a picture with Rice, who was
carrying a bunch of roses, backstage at the after-party at the venue. 'I'm just here to support Maddie,' Phoebe tells me.
Meanwhile, despite my best efforts to get Phoebe, whose company made almost £20 million in 2021 after she contributed to the screenplay for the last James Bond film, No Time To Die, to discuss whether she'll be directing the next 007 flick, or if she'd be up for the role of Bond herself — she remains tight-lipped.
With that performance, I'd say she'd make a great spy.
