Khamzat Chimaev revealed he spent between six hundred and seven hundred thousand dollars constructing a wrestling gym for children in his home village in Chechnya. Chimaev explained he fights not only for himself but to help people, noting that money provides many opportunities to assist others. He also helps villagers with medical expenses when they call him for support. Responding to critics who say he is inactive, Chimaev stated he is indifferent to their opinions because he earns millions and is living his dream. He added that outside of fighting, he earns even more money through sponsorships and business opportunities that come from having built his name.
