 Who is Jake Paul?

\r\n

Jake Paul is a name synonymous with YouTube fame and internet stardom. No other personality in recent times has had the kind of impact on boxing as the twenty-seven-year-old Jake Paul. Since his beginnings as a social media star, he has significantly expanded his horizons into the realms of boxing and business. But much before he embarked on a new career, Paul had a hugely successful career as a YouTube and Vine Content Creator. Starting in 2013, the Cleveland, Ohio-born boasts a YouTube channel with over twenty million subscribers. After starting out, Paul soon branched out, taking over every field he laid his eyes on, one of which was boxing. But how? Let us start from the beginning.\r\n\r\n

Jake Paul’s early life

\r\n

Born on January 17, 1997, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Greg Paul and Pam Stepnick, Jake Joseph Paul went to Westlake High School in his hometown. Reportedly football and wrestling were the sports that grabbed his attention initially. After completing his schooling, Paul went to Cleveland State University to pursue higher studies.\r\n

He has an elder brother, Logan Paul who was into YouTube content creation as well and later took a leap into boxing and finally into the pro wrestling franchise WWE, where he is a big star now.\r\n\r\n

Jake Paul’s girlfriend

\r\n

Jake Paul is currently going serious with his Dutch girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam. A speed skating champion, she and Paul reportedly met on Instagram. They made their relationship official in April last year. Before he met Leerdam,’ The Problem Child’ was dating Instagram model and social media influencer Julia Rose. Their relationship began in 2020 and ended in the latter part of 2022.\r\n\r\n

But there were other girlfriends before Rose as well. He used to see another internet personality Tana Mongeau till 2019. Then there was Erika Costell. During 2016 and 2017, Jake Paul dated model and actress Alissa Violet.\r\n\r\n

Jake Paul’s Net Worth 2024

\r\n

According to celebritynetworth.com, Jake Paul’s net worth is nearly $80 million. They also added that his annual income before tax deduction hovers between $20 million and $50 million, generated through boxing fights, YouTube videos, endorsements, and merchandise.\r\n

It was in 2021 that Jake Paul joined his advisor Nakisa Bidarian to lay the foundations of his promotional venture, Most Valuable Promotions.\r\n

The promotion was behind Paul’s two matches with former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in 2021. Even the bout with Anderson Silva in October last year took place under MVP.\r\n

But the venture hit gold with the boxing match between then undisputed champion Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, promoted by MVP, on April 30, 2022.\r\n

The first-ever bout for women in New York’s Madison Square Garden was described as the biggest women’s fight of all time. Apart from the nearly 20k crowd who thronged the stadium, people across 170+ markets, or almost 1.5 million audiences, according to DAZN, were able to watch the match. Amanda Serrano reportedly took home $1 million.\r\n\r\n\r\n NEW YORK, NEW YORK – APRIL 26: Amanda Serrano of Puerto Rico (L) poses for a photo with Most Valuable Promotions founder Jake Paul (R) at the Empire State Building leading up to their World Lightweight Title Fight against Katie Taylor of Ireland on April 26, 2022 in New York, New York.

Jake Paul signed up for a multi-year contract with the Professional Fighters League early in January of 2023. The deal requires him to participate in the franchise’s mixed martial arts promotional activities.\r\n

Thus his designation would be that of head of fighter advocacy. Regarding fights, he would take part in PFL’s PPV Super Fight Division and take home roughly fifty percent of the revenue generated by pay-per-view sales.\r\n

Besides the above, Jake Paul also has a stake in Betr, a sports company that claims to have developed the world’s first direct-to-consumer micro-betting app. Available through Apple and Google Play stores, the app, introduced in 2022, is reportedly an outcome of a collaboration between Paul and Joey Levy. According to TMZ Sports, the company is worth around $300 Million. In 2023, the Ohio native’s brainchild raised $35 Million in new funding from Fuel Venture Capital and Roger Ehrenberg of IA Sports Ventures and Eberg Capital. Paul even has the company’s logo tattooed on his leg, marking his commitment to the brand.\r\n

‘The Problem Child’ is also reported to have lucrative deals inked with UK-based men’s apparel brand boohooMAN, American sports betting firm DraftKings, and New York-based fashion travel accessories maker SPRAYGROUND, among others. It should be noted that Paul’s clothing line, RNBO Clothing, stands for Rise N Be Original.\r\nIn 2024, Jake Paul started a new brand with UFC Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley that is quickly climbing the sales charts. \”W\” is Paul’s latest business endeavor, focusing on men’s hygiene and grooming. The brand offers a comprehensive range of products under $10, including body wash, body spray, and antiperspirant deodorant. W’s products are crafted with patent-pending mood-boosting fragrances and infused with nutrient-rich ingredients like Vitamin B, Vitamin E, Magnesium, and Biotin to nourish hair and skin. They are made without phthalates, parabens, harsh sulfates, or artificial dyes.\r\n\r\nCurrently, his net worth, based on the value of his companies and their corresponding stocks, is somewhere in the vicinity of between $34.3 million and $80 million, according to most estimates.\r\n

Jake Paul’s career timeline and earnings

\r\nJake Paul has participated in nine professional bouts since starting his boxing career in 2018. For his debut amateur fight against Deji Olatunji on August 25, 2018, he earned around $2 million. This undercard match for KSI vs. Logan Paul at the Manchester Arena ended in the fifth round with Paul winning by technical knockout.\r\n\r\nOn January 30, 2020, Paul fought his first professional bout against British YouTuber AnEsonGib, earning about $1 million. He secured a first-round victory at Miami’s The Meridian at Island Gardens.\r\n\r\nFor his second 2020 bout against American basketball star Nate Robinson on November 28, Paul earned over $1.2 million. The match at the Staples Center in Los Angeles ended in the second round with Paul knocking out Robinson for another victory.\r\n\r\nPaul’s first match against a professional fighter at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on April 17, 2021, saw him get richer by $690,000, guaranteed as a fight purse. Another early-round finish for Paul, who got the better of the professional grappler Ben Askren in the first round to score a victory.\r\n\r\nFor the first match against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley on August 29, 2021, Jake Paul received a guaranteed fight purse of $2 million. The two met in his hometown Cleveland at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The eight-round match went the full distance, and Jake Paul was declared a winner by a split decision. The second fight against Woodley was on December 18, 2021, at Tampa’s Amalie Arena. Unlike their previous bout, Paul stopped Woodley in the sixth round with a knockout that earned KO of the Year by DAZN and ESPN. Paul’s guaranteed purse for the match was around $4 million.\r\n\r\n Dec 18, 2021; Tampa, FL, USA; Tyron Woodley lays on the ground after being knocked out by Jake Paul at Amalie Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports\r\n\r\nThe fight against former UFC champion and legend Anderson Silva on October 29, 2022, was the second match in Paul’s career that went the total distance. The eight-round bout ended in a unanimous victory for ‘The Problem Child.’ Paul’s fight purse also swelled to $5 million for the Glendale, Arizona’s Desert Diamond Arena match.\r\n\r\nJake Paul’s biggest fight to date was against Tommy Fury on February 26, 2023. The battle culminated after years of talks and was to be the American’s first match against a full-blooded boxer. Tommy Fury, world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s half-brother, won the match by a split decision despite Paul sending him down to the canvas in the final round. Money-wise, it proved to be the biggest payday for Jake Paul. His guaranteed purse stood around $30 million.\r\n\r\nComing back to the ring after his first defeat against Tommy Fury within a couple of months, Paul picked UFC legend Nate Diaz as his opponent on August 5, 2023. The bout took place at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, marking the boxing debut of \”The Stockton Slugger.\” Although Diaz showed great determination and courage while battling it out with the ‘Problem Child’, the Ohio native emerged to be the better boxer on the night, securing a fifth-round knockdown, and eventually winning the match by unanimous decision. The fight was lucrative for both Paul and Diaz. Paul’s guaranteed purse for the fight stood at around $2 million, according to Marca.\r\n

\r\nTaking a break from adding a spate of former MMA bigwigs to his boxing record, Jake Paul wanted to pick up on his journey to becoming a world champion boxer. Therefore, this time he picked a professional boxer Andre August, to be his opponent on December 15, 2023. The ‘Problem Child’ did not disappoint! Devastatingly, Jake Paul knocked out August with a brutal uppercut in the first round. The non-PPV fight reportedly fetched Jake Paul $2.8 million, according to Sports Zion.\r\n\r\nFeaturing in the co-main event of the homecoming fight for Amanda Serrano in Puerto Rico against Nina Mienke, Jake Paul continued his journey of becoming a world champion by defeating Ryan Bourland, a former Golden Gloves and Junior Olympics champion in the very first round of their March 2, 2024 fight. Sadly, the main event with Amanda Serrano could not happen as she was deemed medically unfit by doctors after a cosmetic-related eye injury flared up before the match.\r\n\r\nJake Paul is now scheduled to face off against boxing legend Mike Tyson in a professional fight on November 15, 2024. The highly anticipated bout will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be streamed globally on Netflix for their first-ever foray into sports. On the undercard will be the highly anticipated Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor rematch as the co-main event.\r\n\r\n NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 13: Mike Tyson and Jake Paul attend the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson press conference at The Apollo Theater on May 13, 2024 in New York City.

While he initially intended to compete, medical attention forced a postponement. This isn’t Jake Paul’s fight this month though. To stay sharp, he’ll be facing BKFC contender Mike Perry on July 20th in Tampa, Florida. On the undercard, Amanda Serrano will face Stevie Morgan in her Super lightweight return. You can catch that fight live on DAZN.\r\n

Jake Paul’s social media career, businesses and endorsements

\r\n

The social-media career of Jake Paul could be divided into four phases.\r\n\r\n

• 2013 to 2016

\r\n

Jake Paul entered the social media arena by posting videos on Vine, the video hosting service meant for short video clips, by September 2013.\r\n

Unfortunately, the journey with Vine came to an end in 2017. But by then, Paul already had a steady 5.3 million subscribers besides the 2 billion views.\r\n

On May 5, 2015, ‘The Problem Child’ introduced his YouTube channel Jake Paul Daily Vlogs to the world. Later Disney asked him to join their Bizaardvark series. But soon, they went their separate ways.\r\n

Paul later confirmed being fired by Disney when the channel had to deal with increasing complaints against Paul over parties going out of control.?\r\n\r\n

• 2017 to 2019:

\r\n

Probably around early 2017, Jake Paul launched Team 10. It coincided with the introduction of TeamDom, a media company with a capital investment of $1 million.\r\n

A few months later, on May 30, along with the rest of the team members in Team 10, he presented a single \”It’s Everyday Bro\” that reached the ninety-first position in the Billboard Hot 100.\r\n

In 2018, he released several recordings, mostly in collaboration with the Team 10 members, such as Malibu on April 27, My Teachers on May 11, Randy Savage, and Cartier Vision on May 24.\r\n

On August 15, 2018, roughly ten days before his first amateur fight with British YouTuber Deji Olatunji, Paul released a single Champion primarily to taunt the former.\r\n

It must be noted while he made it to the Forbes list of 2018’s highest money-making YouTubers, the year also saw his Team 10 leaving for greener pastures.\r\n\r\n

• 2019 to 2020:

\r\n

In the year, 2019, Jake Paul carried forward his focus on musical releases. The first to take place was on March 1, titled, I am Single. It was followed by These Days on December 13.\r\n

Fresh Outta London came out on July 24, 2020, which unfortunately garnered quite a lot of negative publicity. 23 featured elder brother Logan Paul in the music video, which saw a release on September 10.\r\n

A collaboration with Canadian rapper TVGucci saw him introduce the number Dummy on October 15 that year.\r\n\r\n

• 2021 – Till Now:

\r\n

In 2021, the world saw Jake Paul enter the big league with the launch of his boxing promotions firm, Most Valuable Promotions (September 2021), and roughly a year later, he introduced Betr, the micro-betting application.\r\nBetr, which Jake Paul launched in 2022 with co-founder Joey Levy (Simplebet), is a sports media and mobile betting platform. It aims to disrupt the industry with innovative features alongside traditional sports betting and online casino options. Betr boasts a $375 million valuation after securing $100 million in funding. Their latest funding round in March 2024 valued the company at $375 million. They plan to expand into real-money fantasy sports across 24 states and eventually become a nationwide sportsbook brand.\r\n

Moreover, he signed an endorsement deal with energy drink company Celsius; the agreement kickstarted around the time of his fight against Tommy Fury in 2023. Finally, he made big news by signing a contract with the Professional Fighter League (PFL) in January 2023.\r\nIn June 2024, in partnership with UFC Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley, Jake Paul launched \”W\”, a new line of men’s personal care products exclusively sold at Walmart. W offers body wash, body spray, and antiperspirant at a budget-friendly price point of less than $10, with plans to expand to include shampoo, conditioner, and hair styling products by August. This deal leverages Walmart’s massive reach, making W readily available across the US in over 4,000 stores. While details are slim on future plans, there’s a possibility W might also be sold online through Amazon soon.\r\n

Jake Paul’s record 2024

\r\n

As of 2024, barring the amateur bouts he won, Jake Paul’s professional record stands at nine wins against one loss. Six of his nine victories came through knockouts.\r\n\r\n

Jake Paul’s foundation and charity

\r\n

Despite all his trash-talking and aggressive in-ring demeanor, Jake Paul has a heart that beats for people in need. For long associated with the Make Your Wish Foundation, he founded Boxing Bullies in 2021 to address the widespread issue of bullying. It is also into renovating gyms across the United States and Puerto Rico. Scheduled to feature on the undercard of the Amanda Serrano vs Nina Mienke main event in Puerto Rico, Jake Paul vowed to donate his fight purse to Boxing Bullies which will be used to renovate gyms in the Caribbean island.\r\n

Moreover, fresh from his victory against Tyron Woodley in December 2021, Paul organized an afterparty fundraiser at the El Tucan restaurant in Miami and reportedly raised a million dollars for Boxing Bullies. According to the Sun, he auctioned off \”one of a kind\” NFTs and items from his brother Logan Paul and Alec Monopoly, a renowned street artist.\r\n\r\n

 Jake Paul’s house

\r\n

Apart from his many businesses, Jake Paul set his eyes on some serious property investments. Let’s start with his first purchase, a 15,000-square-foot residence in California’s Calabasas. Reportedly, he bought the eight-bedroom mansion for nearly 7 million in 2017.\r\n

The property’s amenities include a fireplace, floor-to-ceiling picture windows, a pool, a spa with waterfalls, and two grills. However, he eventually sold in 2021 for $6.50 million.\r\n

Paul’s next big purchase happened last year. He bought a roughly twelve thousand square feet palatial residence for approximately $16 million.\r\n

The two-story, eight-bedroom villa is located in Puerto Rico. Reportedly, he purchased it from Major League Baseball player Yadier Molina.\r\n

The vast place offers a gym, a swimming pool, a wet and a dry bar, and a six-car garage.\r\n\r\n

Jake Paul’s car collection

\r\n

Ferrari 296 GTB\r\n

Paul managed to get his hands on this sleek sports car last year. However, you would have thought that Jake Paul would handle the £330,000 worth sports car with care. Well, think again! Paul managed to break the car after only one day. As he took the beautiful yellow sports car for a ride, he decided to do a 0-60 drags race and broke the new tires on the highway. And that wasn’t all as every single warning light on his car’s dashboard started flashing as he did some donuts in a parking lot. Supposedly, Paul had to head back to the dealership with his car for repair work hours after buying it.\r\n

Ferrari SF-90\r\n

After the debacle with his first Ferrari, Paul decided to add another of these beauties to his car collection. Fortunately, he didn’t do anything stupid with this one. The SF-90, worth around $423,000, was in the same yellow color as the 296 GTB. The sports car is equipped with three electric motors and a twin-turbocharged V8 engine rated at a power output of 780 PS.\r\n

LAMBORGHINI HURACAN\r\n

Jake Paul bought himself another sportscar in 2018, and this time it wasn’t a Ferrari. A bright blue Lamborghini Huracan Performante, worth around £165,000, is one of many supercars that currently sits in his garage. He even shot a YouTube video to show his fans how emotional he was about buying a Lamborghini. Later he took it for a ride and was thrilled to drive the \”powerful\” car at very high speeds.\r\n\r\n

TESLA MODEL X\r\n

Jake Paul bought the only electric car in his collection- the Tesla Model X in 2017. Worth approximately $80,000, it is nothing compared to the other cars on this list. However, the wealthy fighter wrapped the car in custom colors with the help of West Coast Customs, adding his touch to the electric vehicle.\r\n

Rolls Royce Phantom\r\n

Jake Paul also owns a classic Rolls-Royce Phantom in white. The luxurious car is powered by a 6.7 liter turbocharged V-12 engine that produces a maximum power of 563 BHP. It costs around $4,61,000.\r\n\r\n

Dodge Ram\r\n

One of Paul’s prized possessions includes a 4 x 4 pickup truck that can traverse through rough terrains like sand, snow, etc. It is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine. It is worth around $40,000.\r\n

Toyota Tacoma\r\n

Paul possesses a sturdy SUV – a Toyota Tacoma in white. Equipped with a 2.7-liter I-4 engine, the car produces 159 HP and 180 lb-ft of torque. The car costs around $20,000.\r\n

Ford Focus RS\r\n

Impressed by the customizations made by West Coast Customs on his Tesla, Paul returned to them with his black Ford Focus RS to make some changes. The change in colors inspired the YouTube sensation to nickname it \”Rainbro\”. \r\n\r\n

He earned $500,000 and an undisclosed amount from pay-per-view sales. Jorge Masvidal: Early Life and Family The prolific knockout artist was born in Miami and spent his childhood there. Also, he carries Cuban ancestry from his father and Peruvian from his mother. While the details of his parents are not well documented, the Miami native once revealed his father was a fisherman. Furthermore, his father, Jorge Masvidal Sr., left Cuba at the young age of 14 in a self-made raft and settled in the Virgin Islands. To meet his ends, his father resorted to unethical means and, as a result, spent close to 20 years in prison. Jorge Masvidal’s Career Jorge Masvidal started his early MMA career with AFC, BodogFIGHT, Strikeforce, and Bellator before transitioning to UFC in 2013. In 2009, the American Top Team product signed a deal with Bellator. While he went 2-1 in the promotion, he was subsequently released. Afterward, he fought a solitary fight under Shark Fights 13 and later shifted bases to Strikeforce in 2011. After racking an impressive 3-1 record, the dissolution of the promotion resulted in him joining UFC.

The Paul brothers have come a long way from their early careers and transitioned into legitimate contenders in the world of combat sports. However, it does not end here because Jake Paul not only wants to be a legend in boxing, but now wants to transition into MMA and has some top contenders in mind. Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, and former undisputed heavyweight champ Mike Tyson, will set the stage ablaze when they face each other at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on November 15, 2024. However, even before the fight is about to commence, Paul is already thinking about his future in combat sports. As we eagerly await Jake Paul’s next move, we have a little update from none other than the PFL CEO Peter Murray. The CEO sat down with Essentially Sports to have an exclusive interview and give important details on Jake Paul’s move to MMA. He spoke to Raj Sarkar and gave us a detailed take on what was being planned for Jake Paul in 2025 and who he might fight when he comes into MMA. Murray confessed in the ES Exclusive Interview that Jake Paul was surely expected to make his professional MMA debut in 2025 with PFL. He complimented the YouTuber-turned-boxer, saying, “You know Jake, you know, he continues to blaze his new trail you know; for himself, as you know, a major voice and culture. And now an incredible athlete and boxer and he is doing it his way, which is pretty inspirational and he has got a strong point of view. He is an advocate for athletes. That’s why we love Jake. He’s all about the big stage and mega events, so we are excited to usher Jake into MMA next year and there is a list of top; top MMA fighters who would like to be that opponent.” As soon as he gave a hint of the fact that Jake Paul [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jake-paul/] had some names that he would like to fight, we decided to ask him about some of the names that were on the list. He obliged and further added, “There are several athletes you know from; Nate Diaz, Masvidal others you know? Who would like to have a piece of that event with Jake? So, he’s gonna have his options, and it’s gonna be a mega global event.” However, before that, he is going to fight Mike Tyson, which is going to be another massive fight. The CEO pointed out during the Essentially Sports exclusive interview that they even spoke to Francis Ngannou before the mega-fight with Tyson, since the former has practiced with ‘Iron’ Mike. On top of that, Murray also mentioned that Jake is interested in only fighting well-rounded MMA fighters who have a credible resume. This is why he was targeting fighters like Nate Diaz [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nate-diaz/] and Jorge Masvidal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/]. Interestingly, Jake Paul and Nate Diaz have had a feud going on for quite a while, so when Murray gave us that name, it was not so shocking! JAKE PAUL WAS UPSET WHEN NATE DIAZ REFUSED TO FIGHT HIM After defeating Masvidal in their boxing match, the fighter from Stockton had announced that he was open to challenges in the ring and called out Jake Paul for a rematch. However, he might have forgotten that he had declined an offer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-jake-paul-slaps-nate-diaz-with-fifteen-million-reality-check-retaliating-rematch-callout-jorge-masvidal-dragged-in/] for the rematch in the past. This is why the Youtuber turned boxer ridiculed him after hearing his plea. Paul had defeated Diaz via a unanimous decision when the two had fought in August 2023. After this fight, PFL offered to create a rematch between the duo in the Smart Cage. According to ‘The Problem Child,’ a $15 million offer was also on the cards for Diaz as an incentive. However, later on, Peter Murray gave an interview for SunSport, and affirmed the statements that Jake Paul had made. However, Diaz was silent during the whole ordeal. Yet after winning against ‘Gamebred,’ he said, “Leon Edwards, Jake Paul, and anybody the f— else, you’re dead!” This surprised Paul and he decided to remind Diaz that in the past, he had already turned down an offer for a rematch. ‘The Problem Child’ revealed his opponent’s hypocrisy and said, “F–k you Nate Diaz you’re a h-e who ducked my PFL $15m MMA offer.” Apart from that, Jake Paul had also ridiculed Masvidal after the latter had lost to an opponent that Paul had conquered in August 2023. All in all, calling out these two names seems pretty sensible for Paul. Surprisingly, even Matt Brown has a positive outlook on Paul and crossover fights. He confessed that in an ES Exclusive Fancast interview. He said that he liked watching the boxer fight because it was entertaining. Since the PFL CEO has already given us a hint that the next MMA fight for Paul might be against Diaz or Masvidal, who are you most excited to see? “,”editorJson”:{“display_name”:”Yeswanth Praveen”,”user_avatar”:”“,”user_description”:”Yeswanth Praveen is the lead editor of the UFC division at EssentiallySports.
