Richard Hammond has make jokes about his perfect life, but it’s clear Top Gear’s "Hamster" has it pretty good. Case in point? Check out the four million dollar castle he just purchased in Herefordshire. Along with 20 acres of ground, the sweet pad includes an indoor pool and plenty of storage for Hammond’s predictably large car collection. While I think all the Top Gear presenters are worth every penny, given that the BBC is a publicly funded station—TVs are taxed at about $300 bucks per set per year in the UK—it seems like some of the viewing public might be less than thrilled about his ability to afford such palatial digs.

This video is just a plug for Richard Hammond’s new book, On the Edge, but it’s still funny. And if you ever thought that the guys who host Top Gear have perfect lives, well, from the looks of this clip, you’d be right. In an unrelated note, since it’s Sunday, I’d rather be watching Meet the Press. But now that will never be the same. Rest in peace, Mr. Russert.
