Chunkz dropped out of university in 2015 to focus on his YouTube career, but how much money has he made in that time?
So what is Chunkz’s net worth?
Chunkz Net Worth
Chunkz’s net worth is actually estimated to be £337,000. He’s only been in the game a short while, and we wouldn’t be surprised if this continues to grow.

Who is Chunkz?
Chunkz – real name Amin Mohammed – is a first-generation Britsh Somali from north London. His parents moved to Britain from Somaliland in the 1980s.
He initially pursued a degree in financial maths at London Metropolitan University, but eventually quit to pursue his YouTube career – much to the disappointment of his parents.
Describing his parents’ reaction, Chunkz said: “I remember waking up for a lecture during the first few weeks of university, and I genuinely stared at my ceiling for 45 minutes, near tears, just thinking: I can’t do this. I had this pressure [weighing on me] that my parents wouldn’t accept me leaving.”

It turns out that was the best decision the creator could have made. Now, he’s a true celebrity and a real idol for other British Somalis.
As well as his YouTube and Instagram, Chunkz has also complemented his net worth with work for Sky Sports. He has co-hosted Sky Sports’ weekend talk show Saturday Social alongside famous names like Stevo the Mad Man.
For two years, Chunkz has also taken part in the Soccer Aid game at Wembley Stadium, a celebrity football match that raises money for UNICEF.
On the day, he posed with David Beckham, saying on Instagram: “David Beckham congratulated man on the weight loss, you know how mental that is (How does he even know me) Anyways, special night. Thank you to everyone who has constantly supported man, i love every single one of you.”
This year, Chunkz shocked fans by admitting that he was quitting music. In the past, he has had success with his music, including collaborations with Yung Filly and Neji.
His song ‘Hold’ with Yung Filly even hit the top 40, charting at number 29. ‘Clean Up’ was also a success, peaking at 67.
In a YouTube video entitled ‘Why I’m Quitting Music’ – no clickbait at all – Chunkz explained that he had to quit music for his religion.
Who is Chunkz Dating?
In 2020, Chunkz hosted the Mobo Awards alongside celebrity Maya Jama. Their chemistry – and Chunkz’s jokes – led some to believe that the two were dating.
Throughout 2020, the pair had charmed fans with their adorable friendship, including at Chunkz’s first Soccer Aid match – but is it anything more?
After that match, Chunkz took to social media to say “Missed a pen but i bagged Maya Jama, so who really won?” In a a savage reply though, Maya shot down the influencer.
“We’re def prob related but we can be BFFs for life chunkell,” she said.

However, in September 2020, Chunkz confirmed that he had been on a ‘date’ with Maya. He posted a sweet photo on Instagram of the pair of them, saying, “Good day out w my babes, 2 weeks strong x.”
Whether Chunkz was pulling another prank on fans or the love was real, we don’t know. However, this year Maya Jama confirmed her relationship with Australian NBA player Ben Simmons.
