How did Henry Cole make his money?
#HenryCole #WorldsGreatestMotorcycleRides #TheMotorbikeShow
• Henry Cole, with prestigious family ties and a personal victory over heroin addiction, transitioned from education at Eton College to becoming a significant figure in the motorcycle industry and a successful entrepreneur through his work in television and film.
• His career evolved from a news cameraman to directing rockumentaries and the semi-autobiographical film "Mad Dogs and Englishmen," showcasing his versatility and creative talent.
• Henry's passion for motorbikes led to his fame in the motorcycle world, hosting popular TV shows like "World’s Greatest Motorcycle Rides" and "The Motorbike Show," and founding HCA Entertainment, which produces factual entertainment programs.
• Apart from television, Henry ventured into the motorcycle manufacturing industry with Gladstone Motorcycles, creating bespoke British custom motorcycles, and set a world land speed record in 2013.
• Henry's journey from battling addiction to achieving an estimated net worth of $5 million illustrates his resilience, versatility, and entrepreneurial spirit, making him a compelling figure in both the entertainment and motorcycle industries.

Should he be worth more than his $5 million net worth, or less?

Maybe mind your own business? He’s worth 5 million of you.
Even if he is slightly smug his show is unique and i think one of the best programs on the telly

Millyard. Now THATS talent!
As one of the very few Broadcasters who makes motorcycle programs for U.K. tv and brings us such knowledgeable motorcycle and car presenters and engineers like Sam Lovegrove, Guy Wilson,Fuzz Townshend and the genius that is Allen Millyard and finds time to make his own motorcycles brand ( Gladstone motorcycles) those of us who enjoy such programs think he is doing a very good job and if he makes a living out of that good luck to him.
Henry is a very kind man , very polite when you meet him. I find him true to his word. One of the best. Keep going Henry
Not sure if this is meant to be informative or criticising Henry Cole. But I think he is a great guy who makes entertaining and happy tv programmes. Keep going Henry
I like him, I like the way he presents his trips and other TV programs even bumped into him and team while doing a charity ride stopped and talked to us seems a genuine guy
So thats where i went wrong i got a " proper job " and locked myself away in the building industry, if only i had known that a life in the world of addiction would have opened up a whole new world! Rock on Henry.
Dont care. Henry along with his sidekicks are fantastic entertainment. 🇮🇪
I dont care how he made his money, his programmes are a real bonus for guys like me who enjoy bikes, cars, tractors etc. And it's great to watch programmes that aren't about murder, illness, or the news. Thankyou Henry!!!

Well said!
I watched till the end. He’s a legend and a genuine all round great guy 👍💪
Some people's junk is somebody's treasure.If Henry can fix it & brighten it up, then he's worth every pound he makes. Obviously he's got to spend money to do what he does, but it's all about profit.
Best programs on the box . Great guys , Henry , Skid , Alan & Sam , And Jelly Beans .
I do like his new shows with Skid and Alan. Hope the Motorcycle show will be back this year. The biggest star though is his little dog Jellybean.
Top man my favourite programme I could watch this all day and night
Going to Eton always helps lol

Scholarship....like Boris or ancestry and money?
Whether you like him or not he's certainly put motorcycling on the map as it were. Motorcycling hardly gets any coverage. Its like second best compared to cars. But here is a man that has brought it to the public eye and raising its popularity.

Watching easy rider when i was 15 turned me into a biker,still am to this day.
Good old Henry !! 👍👍
Loved Great Motorcycle Rides!
Henry Cole💪💪💪💪
Pleased he beat his addiction, i never tried it, but it has killed several of my friends in the 1970s.
The answer is, "By looking, talking and acting fairly thick." If it wasn't for Sam Lovegrove and Alan Millyard, he would not have a show.

Yup. Can’t stand him either.
SPQR well done Henry and team keep up the good work 👏
Brilliant program better than all the other rubbish on telly at the moment
Alan and guy are great would love to know them.
He got born. Lucky
I’m a real fan since his great motorcycle journeys. It’s a nice summary but why do we have to put up with that whiny voice? She didn’t once mention his self-deprecating humour,, surely his greatest asset!
He worked hard...

And a rich daddy.
It the best program on TV by far yes that right the best
Very intresting
I think he's a good bloke who is quite funny. Typical biker really.
Yea
He stopped spending it on drugs.
Just tv company paying him too much for too little
Given that the first 2 minutes of the video talk about how he has used the Internet to succeed, I was surprised that the rest of the video is all about his TV and film making, with absolutely no mention of the Internet whatsoever! Confusing!
I think Henry is one of the most genuine people on TV. However he makes his money is his business and no one else. I do hope you don't get too many likes and payment from KZread for simply using someone else's talent. It's low.

True,and knows nothing,if it wasn't for Sam and Millyard,he wouldnt even have a show.
Robbing bikes on his show then getting a mug to sort it
Not done too bad for a junkie.
I like his shows but I wish he didn't act like a childish idiot at times. His motorcycle journeys were very interesting and informative without his silly humour.
Henry made his money by threatening to make tv programs so the tv stations paid him not to 😂
Who cares, good luck to him.
Nepotism. THAT is the secret of Henry's "success" 😕
Begging on the street?
He’s a smug annoying ……and as ever and as always born into money and power funny that it’s a club none of us are welcome too

Glad I’m not the only one that thinks he is annoying, I meet him at a bike show once , nice enough but he has the attitude of a rich smug guy
Henry Cole is so false it's excruciating to watch! Look at his earlier programmes and see how his appearance and accent have changed over the years! He acts dumb but he's not! Turns my stomach!
Why do some people like scraggly Henry
He made his money by putting out shit tv progams.
He can't knock a nail into piece of wood, another nick Knowles, there not hand's on the job just presenter's, hey look right I've got to tell you, we've got a runner, a nice little earner, even his dog looks cheesed off of listening to him.
Most annoying person on TV
Read. An all that shows dry does it ma?The rose a truck around a motor bike in a pit or garden.For you can do up and sail.It's getting a bit bored , just like him and these other shoes. 👎👎👎
That's simple the gift of the gab
Yuuuk....... Awful American patronising drool narration ruined this Vid.
Born with a silver spoon ,pity he used it for chasing the dragon
Henry is a muppet,Big up sam Lovegrove and millyard,two very clever men whereas cole knows nothing except how to use a cheapjack car polisher on WOOD FFS.
Must be tuff coming from money.
He came from a background of wealth an privilege and was given opportunities through nepotism and the old school tie..Next.
