Early Life

Iman Gadzhi grew up in London with his single mother. Money was tight. By his teens, he felt the weight of responsibility.

He wanted to play football professionally but realized it wasn’t going to happen. So he turned to business. His first ventures? Buying and selling Instagram accounts, training friends’ parents in fitness, and saving a few hundred pounds to buy his first camera, the start of his YouTube journey.

At school, he hustled harder. He offered to run social media for his local football club for £300 a month. Landing the next client took seven months, but soon he had multiple clients and was making £4,000 a month as a teen.

The Toughest Years

Life was brutal. Some nights, there wasn’t enough money for basic needs. At 17, he made a bold move: he dropped out of school and committed fully to building a business.

Discipline became his edge. Gym every morning. Meditation. A book a week. These habits laid the foundation for everything that followed.

The Major Breakthrough

Iman launched IAG Media, his social media agency. Within months, he was earning six figures annually. Challenges came fast, clients left, employees quit, revenue dropped but he refused to give up.

He scaled the agency, built a full time team, and launched educational programs like Six Figure SMMA and Grow Your Agency, generating millions while teaching others to start their own businesses.

Reaping the Rewards

By 2023, Iman had 5M+ YouTube subscribers. His content blended business lessons with lifestyle: travel, luxury, and high-profile connections in Dubai.

He studied Andrew Tate’s growth strategies but avoided controversy. He created 22 shorts channels across YouTube and TikTok, distributing his content widely and controlling his message.

This year alone, Iman Gadzhi's net worth is estimated to be over $85 million, though figures vary, with some sources claiming over $100 million. He also co-founded Whop, a platform for digital creators, and hosts the Digital Renaissance, inspiring young people to gain financial freedom and control their future.
