Maya Jama’s current net worth is an eye-watering £1.5 million. Her net worth is largely due to her brand endorsements, presenter and radio roles as well as her skincare range, MIJ Masks. However, if £1.5 million wasn’t an insane amount enough, her net worth is only likely to grow due to her new role on Love Island.

Speaking with the Evening Standard about her rising career, Maya said that being a millionaire was “nice” but it wasn’t her goal when beginning her career. She said: “You do something you enjoy and then you get paid for it and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is so cool!'”

An insider told the publication: “Maya has been grafting for years, honing her craft, but this year she’s really come into her own. After leaving Radio 1 in May, she said she had exciting projects and she wasn’t wrong. Landing a presenting gig alongside Peter Crouch on his BBC primetime TV show Save Our Summer was massive, and it’s just the start.”
