Jake Paul’s net worth is three times greater than major British athletes Emma Raducanu and George Russell. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has a total worth of somewhere in excess of £30million.
Meanwhile, tennis ace Raducanu and F1 star Russell are both believed to be worth in the region of £12million thanks to their high-profile careers and sponsorship deals. During the 2010s, Jake and his brother Logan Paul began creating content online and quickly became two of the biggest social media influencers in the world.
Through his popular Vine comedy skits, Jake landed a role on the Disney Channel’s hit show Bizaardvark before making the move to YouTube where he generated the majority of his following from. At the time of writing, Paul has over 20 million YouTube subscribers, 25 million plus Instagram followers and nearly 5 million fans on Twitter.
In 2018, the year when he first started his boxing training, he was included on the Forbes Magazine’s list of highest-earning influencers and has remained on the list ever since. The Problem Child currently finds himself ranked in the No10 spot behind the likes of Addison Rae, Charli D’Amelio and MrBeast.
Speaking ahead of the bout, Paul said: “We’ve picked this guy apart. We’ve studied him. He makes a lot of mistakes. He’s great on offense. He’s got a great jab. Lots of combos. Speed. Good footwork. Good movement. He’s a good boxer, but he’s not a great boxer. His lack of defence and lack of head movement is going to be exposed on Sunday.”
“I always take every fight seriously,” he added. “I’ve fought UFC champions. Tyron Woodley was winning the UFC championship when I was on Disney Channel. So, when Tommy says that he’s been doing this his whole life, none of that means anything to me.
“I’ve always trained harder and tougher than all of my opponents. And I want it more. I have more of a why. I have more of a purpose. I’m Tommy’s end goal. This is the biggest opportunity of his life. He’s never been on a stage like this. He’s never gotten a payday like this. He was getting paid peanuts compared to this.”
