The payout, reported to be close to £4 million, follows the closure of Hamster’s Wheel Productions, a TV company co-owned with his estranged wife, Mindy Hammond.
The pair separated after more than 20 years of marriage.
A declaration of solvency published on Companies House shows the company has £2.3 million in cash, is owed £1.45 million, and can reclaim £176,573 in corporation tax.
Mr Hammond said: “A little update from us; this Christmas we were together as a family, and this year we will still be a family but just structured a bit differently.
“Our marriage is coming to an end, but we’ve had an amazing 28 years together and two incredible daughters.
“We will always be in each other’s lives and are proud of the family we created.
“With Love, Richard and Mindy.”
Hamster’s Wheel Productions was behind several television projects, including the BBC children’s gameshow Blast Lab and the climate series Wild Weather.
According to reports, Mr Hammond moved out of the family home near Ross-on-Wye after the split and spent time in rented accommodation before relocating to Wales.
