What's The 'I Bought A Property In Egypt' Meme? The CamEasty Video And 'Chopped Chin' Spin-Off Trend Explained
Did you know that when you buy a property in Egypt, they give you the property? This is according to entrepreneur bro Cameron Eastwood who's gone viral for telling everyone, "I bought a property in Egypt."
His claim's redundancy has sparked an onslaught of memes, oddly mixing with Chopped Chin posts on the most brainrotted sides of TikTok and Instagram.
This trend is confusing, but let's try to explain it.
What's The Original 'I Bought A Property In Egypt' Video?
The original video was posted to YouTube in August 2024 by a lesser-known Hustle Culture influencer named Cameron Eastwood. He's telling his viewers to go invest in Egyptian real estate because it apparently worked out really well for him. On its face, it kind of sounds like an advertisement.
Eastwood starts by saying, "I bought a property in Egypt and what they do for you is they give you the property." Upon hearing this sentence, the general reaction was, "Yeah, duh."
Who Is Cameron Eastwood, aka 'CamEasty?'
Cameron Eastwood is a British social media influencer who adds to the so-called Manosphere. He pushes masculine and pro-capitalist dogmas related to entrepreneurial fields like real estate and TikTok shop. In other videos, he claims to make over six figures a month.
Why Is 'I Bought A Property In Egypt' A Meme?
The meme started when a TikToker shared a trimmed version of Eastwood's original video, cutting it after he said the first sentence. Many people made fun of Eastwood's phrasing and used the apparent stupidity to satirize Hustle Culture influencers in general, labeling them idiotic and vapid.

This sentiment is what started the meme. However, the clip has only gotten massive because of a series of Chopped Chin videos that have wedded the two forever. Some online are even calling them this year's Kumalala and Savesta.
The reasoning behind this is quite obscure. These videos are quintessential brianrot. They're supposed to make no sense. Their lack of sense makes them funny as they create an inside joke with the secret being that there is no secret. It's all just visual snow.
So, whatever, throw in a quick Eye of Rah clip too. These edits are taking advantage of every 2025 trend so far.
