Jake Paul made a name for himself with his uncanny antics, making the most of social media and finding a way to link it to boxing.
That effort has resulted in the 26-year-old YouTuber amassing tons of money, a reason why his net worth is now pegged at $60 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Paul earns a lot from his YouTube videos, although this has expanded since then. His appearance at boxing events, merchandise, and other endorsements have contributed immensely.
As far as boxing events, "The Problem Child" rose to prominence, showcasing his fighting skills. That includes taking on opponents from different sports, such as retired NBA player Nate Robinson, and MMA fighters, such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz.
Jake Paul has received harsh criticism for hurting boxing with his shenanigans. But others view it as a good thing since the sport is also about the money. Either way, the jabs that the 26-year-old is getting are working to his advantage because they add to his following - regardless of whether they are pro or con.
Jake Paul's endorsements
Given the magnitude of his popularity, it is no surprise that Jake Paul has several endorsement deals. This includes agreements with BooHooman, DraftKings, RNBO Clothing, and Celsius, where he is believed to earn as much as $75,000 from these brands.
Real State investments
Paul initially lived in an apartment in Beverly Grove. But when his stock rose, he moved out in 2017 and into a mansion in Calabasas, California. He paid about $6.9 million for the property, an abode that sits on 3.5 acres of the land.
The YouTuber would later put the property up for sale, asking $7 million for it. He settled for a $6.15 offer three months after putting it on the market.
Paul's new home is a mansion in Puerto Rico. He allegedly paid $15.75 million for it, sold to him by retired MLB player Yadier Molina in May 2023. Molina built the property from scratch and completed it in 2021.
Jake Paul's car collection
Jake Paul has his collection of cars, the most expensive of them being the Bugatti Divo, worth around $7 million.
Other lush rides he owns include a Porsche Panamera, a Rolls-Royce Ghost, a Ferrari Roma, and a BMW Z4.
Paul's other business investments
Aside from his social media and events, Paul invests his earnings wisely. He is also involved in different sports business ventures. That list includes an anti-bullying charity in 2021, the Anti Fund venture capital in 2021, Most Valuable Promotions in 2021, and a sports betting media company, Betr, in 2022.
Paul has also dipped his hands into being a promoter after signing Amanda Serrano to MVP in 2021 and backing her against Katie Taylor in 2022.
Although Paul recently lost to Tommy Fury in February, The Problem Child is expected to bounce back, and his popularity will remain.
Paul's first boxing loss also addresses calls for him to face a real boxer. The 26-year-old admits that the loss was a humbling experience but adds that this will not prevent him from fighting again, saying that it is "still the best job in the world," per the Hollywood Reporter.
