Maya Jama’s huge earnings revealed after TV presenter success
MAYA Jama's huge earnings have been revealed after her TV presenter success.
Superstar Maya, 30, has emerged as one of the UK's most sought-after talents since the pandemic, bringing in an impressive £2.5 million last year.
The Love Island host - who also hosted it's U.S. spin-off, Love Island Games - has made her mark by hosting prestigious events like the BRIT Awards and Comic Relief this year too.
Recently, she secured another major role, being announced as a panellist for The Masked Singer's upcoming series.
At just 30 years old, Maya's income is further boosted by lucrative advertising partnerships, having starred in commercials for major brands such as McDonald's, Rimmel London, and Dolce & Gabbana.
The savvy beauty has strategically invested her wealth, holding assets worth £407,000, with £1.3 million in savings, and she is owed £630,000 from debtors.

After settling her bills, she maintains over £1.8 million in reserves within her company.
This year, Maya faced a substantial Corporation Tax bill of £493,000, indicative of a taxable income around the £2.5 million mark.
Comparatively, she paid £128,950 in taxes the previous year, highlighting a significant increase in her earnings over the 12 months leading to the end of January 2024.
Business records reveal that her assets soared from £1.6 million last year to £2.35 million this year.

But interestingly, despite her considerable wealth, Maya has valued herself at just £10,000 in company records.
Following her split with long-term partner Stormzy in July, she has only continued to excel in her career.
The savvy entrepreneur recently made headlines for investing in the plant milk brand Sproud, where she will serve as both a strategic adviser and the public face of the Swedish company.
And, earlier this year, The Sun revealed she would launch a range of hair extensions with Beauty Works.
A source said at the time: “Everything Maya touches turns to gold and companies are fighting to work with her. She has signed a six-figure deal with Beauty Works to be the face of their hair extensions for the rest of this year.
“It’s a clever move for Maya. She is very selective about who she works for and they have to make sense for her brand.
“She has her beauty deal with Rimmel and her fashion endorsement with Dolce & Gabbana, which have both banked her huge sums."
We revealed last summer how Maya had banked her first million thanks to her savvy business deals, which includes her own brand of eye masks.
Speaking about her success, the presenter - who bought a lavish mansion in 2024 - admitted she still had to remind herself it was real.

She said: “It’s all just a bit mental. I still have moments where I say, ‘What the hell is going on?’, and pinch myself."
This week, she was also recognised in Heat magazine’s annual 30 under 30 Rich List, securing the 15th spot with a personal fortune of £8.1 million.
