Jake Paul is all set for the biggest night of his combat sports career, as he faces the legendary boxer Mike Tyson at AT&T Arena in Texas on November 15, 2024. The fight is set to air in India on Netflix at 6.30am on November 16, 2024. The bout was originally supposed to be held in June but had to be postponed after Tyson's ulcer flared up. There's an age gap of 31 years between Paul and Tyson, which has been a cause of major controversy, as many fear that the consequences for Tyson could be dire.
However, this will not stop Paul from going gung-ho on his opponents as he looks to cement his name in the annals of the boxing lore. Starting off as a Youtuber, Paul ventured into the world of combat sport in 2018, at a time when its popularity was dwindling. His showboating persona has surely spiked interest and his solid internet presence has brought next-gen fans to the sport. Paul has already stated that he's going to walk out of the ring with a whopping $40 million (approx. ₹337 crore), irrespective of the result. But even without the prize fund, the 27-year-old has reportedly amassed a net worth of a staggering $38 million (approx. ₹320 crore). We’re looking at Paul's net worth as he prepares for what has been dubbed the Battle of Generations.
How Much Does Jake Paul Earn from YouTube?
Paul started off his career as a streamer on a now-defunct platform called Vine, where he had over five million followers. After Vine was shut down, Paul started focusing on YouTube, where he quickly gained a legion of followers due to popular brother as well as his brash and unapologetic attitude. His popularity shot up multiple folds once he appeared in a Disney Channel show titled Bizaardvark, alongside the famous singer Olivia Rodrigo. Paul currently broadcasts his videos to 20.8 million subscribers on YouTube. Additionally, he has over 26 million followers on Instagram, and he charges around $2 million per brand endorsement. In 2023, Forbes listed Paul as the third highest-paid creator in the world.
Jake Paul's Earnings from Wrestling
Jake Paul always had an affinity for combat sports. In his college days, Paul would play multiple sports but gave up on his competitive dreams once he started getting popular on Vine. "I've always played sports and been competitive my whole entire life — I'm super competitive," Paul told Rolling Stone. "When I moved to Los Angeles to act and make content, it was a great opportunity, but I sort of left sports behind." In 2018, his boxing career started with a white-collar fight against British YouTuber Deji Olatunji. Paul won the clash in the fifth round and has never looked back since then.

Two years later, he would make his professional boxing debut against another YouTuber, AnEsonGib, which he won in the first round. However, he didn't earn any substantial amount from these fights. In 2021, Paul squared off against mixed martial arts legend Anderson Silva, which fetched him $1.5 million. After his match against Silva, Paul became a force to reckon with in combat sports, and started getting jaw-dropping paychecks for every fight. After spending a few months away from the ring, Paul made a comeback with a fight against Nate Diaz and walked out victorious with a prize money of around $2 million.

At this point, there shouldn't be any prize for guessing that Paul wears multiple hats.

In just three years, the brand has become a force to reckon with, organising some of the most hyped fights in the world. In 2022, MVP created history by bringing the then-undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in 2022 for a multi-million fight at Madison Square. He also holds a significant stake in a betting company, Bettr, that's estimated to be worth $300 million.
Earlier this year, Paul started a range of personal care products for men under the label 'W'. The brand has already raised $14 million in Series A funding. The company is already valued at over $150 million. Paul also endorses multiple brands like boohooMan, DraftKings, RNBO Clothing and SPRAYGROUND. Paul recently acquired a lavish house in Puerto Rico worth $20 million. He took his viewers through a dream house on Youtube. Paul is fond of watches, and was recently seen wearing $1,800 Gucci Grip Mickey Mouse steel version. He also owns Rolex Oyster Perpetual 'Tiffany' 124300 with a turquoise blue dial, which he often wears when he is on a vacation.
