IMAN Gadzhi is the founder and owner of several businesses, including NFT collection Gents Croquet Club.
But what is the story behind the entrepreneur and what is his net worth?
Who is Iman Gadzhi?
Iman Gadzhi was born in Dagestanskiye Ogni in Russia, to a single mother.
His father was an abusive alcoholic, and left long before he was born.
He grew up in post-Soviet Union poverty, and his mother was forced to work three jobs to put food on the table.

Gadzhi and his mother then moved to London, after she fell in love with a wealthy businessman.
He went from living in a home without a toilet to attending an elite private school.
At the age of 15, Gadzhi started buying and selling instagram accounts, but ended up losing all his profit after purchasing one account that failed.
He then moved on to social media management, with his first client being his local football team – earning him $400 per month.
It then took him 7 months to get his next client, charging £1900 per month.
Gadzhi then went on to sign another client for £1,500 and then another for £750.
Gadzhi said: “Within 14 days I went went from earning $400 a month to £4,150 per month with three clients while I was still in high school.”
Gadzhi then dropped out of high school at the age of 17, and officially founded IAG Media.
IAG Media went on to evolve and Gadzhi started documenting his life on Instagram and YouTube.
The success of IAG Media didn’t go untouched and his followers soon started asking for mentorship.
Gadzhi said: “I met up with a YouTube subscriber and he asked me if I could show him how I’d built my agency.
“I told him of course, but he insisted on asking me ‘how much do you charge an hour?’
“I responded ‘£100’.
“That very same student, after only two hours of my ‘coaching’ went on to sign his first $1,500 per month client.”
On February 1, 2018, Six Figure SMMA was born – an online program which according to Gadzhi was a “step-by-step formula that anyone could follow to build their agency.”
In just 12 months, more than 1,100 people enrolled and from this, in 2019 GrowYourAgency was born – a platform dedicated to helping agency owners scale their businesses.
Gadzhi said: “GrowYourAgency.com now operates with a single mission: to reform the education system by creating the best online programs the world has ever seen.”
In 2020, Gadzhi started investing in cryptocurrency and made millions.
But in 2021, when the market crashed Gadzhi lost $3.5 million in just four days.
In 2021, he then entered the NFT sphere and made more than $10 million from multiple projects.
He founded NFT collection Gents Croquet Club, which currently has a floor price of 4.4 ETH (around $8,000).
What is Iman Gadzhi’s net worth?
Iman Gadzhi has a net worth of around $25 million.
A large proportion of Gadzhi’s net worth is believed to have been made from cryptocurrency and NFT trading, as well as his NFT project Gents Croquet Club.
Gadzhi is believed to make millions of dollars annually from his multiple businesses.
Gadzhi also reportedly makes more than $100,000 a month from his YouTube channel.
Gadzhi has since turned to philanthropy after making millions and build two schools in Nepal with the Pahar Trust in 2019.
He has committed to using 10 per cent of his monthly profits to build schools in underdeveloped countries.
