Maya Jama has made a major career pivot as she follows in the footsteps of Ed Sheeran and Daniel Radcliffe to grow her bank balance.
The presenter, 31, got her biggest gig to date when she was announced as the new presenter of Love Island in October 2022.
While her career goes from strength to strength, with a booming beauty business and a rumoured role in a Netflix show on the horizon, she has also launched a new business.
Maya is reportedly set to invest in properties to rent out as she works to secure her future.
Singer Ed is said to have a £70million property portfolio which even includes a £8.25million office in the heart of London’s Soho.
A source told The Sun: ‘Maya is a shrewd businesswoman and, while her career is going stellar, she’s not going to be wasting her hard-earned cash.’

They added: ‘She’s joining celebs like Ed Sheeran and Daniel Radcliffe by buying up properties to rent out.
‘It’s a clever way to invest her money as it’ll not only bring her a decent return but will see her bank balance grow over time.’
The source went on to reveal that her new company was named Penny Property Holdings.
Daily Mail has contacted Maya’s representative for comment.
Maya has no shortage of offers for other projects to keep herself busy.
Although she is known as a TV presenter, Maya’s first career goal was to become an actress.
She auditioned for roles in her teens and even made it to the final round for a part in E4 teen drama Skins.
When she didn’t get the part, she focused on presenting instead but it appears her acting ambitions have recently been reignited.
The star has reportedly ‘landed a sizzling new role’ in the second series of Guy Ritchie’s gangster drama The Gentlemen.

Elsewhere, Maya has reportedly ‘landed a sizzling new role’ in the second series of Guy Ritchie’s gangster drama The Gentlemen (pictured: a Netflix script Maya posted on Instagram)
She will reportedly play the glamorous wife of a shady associate linked to Theo James’ lead character Eddie Horniman.
Filming is already underway at the stunning Badminton House in Gloucestershire – a grand estate that doubles as the fictional Halstead Manor in the series.
Maya teased fans earlier this year when she posted a Netflix script on social media , followed by a cryptic photo alongside The Gentlemen star Kaya Scodelario, who plays mob boss Susie Glass in the series.
Back in January, the BBC Three Glow Up presenter revealed she had been auditioning behind the scenes for a ‘dream role’ and hinted she wanted to play something completely different from her bubbly TV persona.
She said: ‘My dream role, I would want to be like a villain or something that’s completely not like me, so then it shows that I can actually act. And then people would be like, wow, two different people.’
