Life has been a wild ride for Internet sensation Jake Paul. Starting out as a Vine celebrity, Jake Paul made his foray into YouTube in the mid-2010s. He became immensely successful on the video platform while also being quite successful in his Disney career as well.

However, little did his fans know that he would take the professional-boxing plunge. Today he is a YouTuber-cum-professional boxer, with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss.

Jake Paul’s net worth and earnings

Now that he is a professional boxer as well, his earnings will be shooting up like hot springs in the Nordic region. For his win over Ben Askren, Paul earned $690,000 without PPV bonuses.

However, he made an outrageous claim that he had made $75 million from his fight against Askren.

Paul made $600,000 for his fight against Nate Robinson in November 2020, and somewhere around the same amount against AnesonGib.

His biggest payday is believed to have come during his KO win against Woodley in their rematch. Paul earned over $2 million. However, in 2022, he beat Anderson Silva to take home a reported $5 million.

His first loss came against Tommy Fury in 2023 in a loss via. split decision.

Jake Paul career

Jake Paul initially started out as a Vine celebrity. The app, now defunct had users posting very short video clips. It was more or less like a precursor to TikTok.

He then launched his YouTube channel in 2014, which featured mostly pranks, and occasional sleazy stuff.

Following his success on the video platform giant, he was roped in by Disney for the series Bizaardvark. Following a brief but notable stint with Disney, he was released in 2017.

Paul then began focusing on his YouTube channel, as he kept releasing numerous video songs. ‘It’s Everyday Bro’ became a massive hit, despite a chunk of dislikes on YouTube.

Jake Paul’s boxing career

Paul then got entangled in the YouTube combat sports scene, which started off with YouTubers KSI and Joe Weller.

Paul first fought KSI’s brother Deji in an amateur boxing match in August 2018. He defeated Deji via. TKO in the fifth round.

‘The Problem Child’ then began taking the sport seriously. A year and a half later, he made his professional boxing debut against AnesonGib on the 30th of January, 2020.

All Paul needed was a couple of minutes to piece up Gib, as he won the fight via TKO in the very first round.

Ten months later, he faced ex-basketball player Nate Robinson and knocked him out cold in the second round. The knockout was so brutal that, Robinson almost had his soul taken off him.

On the 17th of April in 2021, Paul faced a combat sports athlete for the first time. He took on former UFC fighter Ben Askren. Askren was met with the same fate too, as he was knocked out by Paul in the first round.

On the 29th of August, 2021, Paul faced Woodley in a rather dull boxing match that ended in a split-decision win for ‘The Problem Child.’
