<p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/boxing/boxer-profiles/jake-paul">Jake Paul</a>&nbsp;is worth an estimated $100 million, although some reports push that figure closer to $120 million after his Netflix payday against Mike Tyson.</p> <p>Not bad for a bloke who started out making six-second prank videos.</p> <p>The 28-year-old from Cleveland has turned viral fame into genuine wealth. YouTube made him famous, boxing made him rich, and a bunch of savvy business moves have made sure the money keeps growing even when he's not in the ring.</p> <h2>How Jake Paul Made His Money</h2> <p>Paul's income comes from three main sources: boxing, content creation, and business ventures.&nbsp;</p> <p>These days, however, boxing is the biggest earner by a long way.</p> <p>Since turning professional in 2020, Paul has banked over $80 million from fight purses alone. That doesn't include pay-per-view bonuses, sponsorship deals, or his cut as co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, the company that promotes his own fights.</p> <p>His biggest single payday came in November 2024 when he fought Mike Tyson on Netflix. Paul reportedly earned $40 million for that one night's work. The event drew 108 million viewers worldwide, making it the most-watched live sporting event in Netflix history and one of the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/boxing/news/highest-paid-boxing-matches">highest paid matches in boxing history</a>.</p> <p>Before the Tyson fight, Paul's best year was 2021, when he pocketed ‘only’ $45 million from three fights that year, including both bouts against Tyron Woodley.&nbsp;</p> <p>Forbes ranked him third on their 2025 Top Creators list, with estimated earnings of $50 million for 2024.</p> <h2>Jake Paul's Fight Earnings</h2> <p>Here's a rough breakdown of what Paul has earned from his boxing career:</p> <ul> <li>Mike Tyson (2024): $40 million</li> <li>Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (2025): $300,000 base purse (plus PPV bonuses)</li> <li>Anderson Silva (2022): $5 million (estimated)</li> <li>Tyron Woodley rematch (2021): Part of $40 million combined</li> <li>Tyron Woodley (2021): $2 million base</li> <li>Ben Askren (2021): $690,000 base</li> <li>Nate Robinson (2020): $1.2 million (estimated, including PPV)</li> </ul> <p>Despite the already mind-blowing numbers on the list above, keep in mind that base purses only tell part of the story, since Paul's real money comes from PPV revenue shares and the fact that he owns the promotion company putting on most of his fights.</p> <h2>Business Ventures</h2> <p>In case you did not know it already, Paul isn't just a fighter. He's a brand.</p> <p>In 2021, he co-founded Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) with his adviser Nakisa Bidarian. The company now handles promotion for his fights and has turned him from a participant into an owner.&nbsp;</p> <p>That’s why when 108 million people watch a Paul fight on Netflix, he does not just collect a purse. He takes home a percentage of everything.</p> <p>He also co-founded Betr, a sports micro-betting app that raised $50 million in funding and which investors’ list include the likes of Travis Scott, Dez Bryant, and DeSean Jackson. Whether the app succeeds long-term is anyone's guess, but Paul got in early with equity.</p> <p>His latest venture is W, a men's body care brand he launched in 2024. By mid-year, the company had raised $11 million in Series A funding at a $150 million valuation. Deodorant isn't as exciting as knockouts, but the margins are probably better.</p> <p>Paul is also the brand ambassador for energy drink Celsius, a deal he signed in 2023. The partnership was partly a response to his brother Logan's success with Prime.</p> <h2>Real Estate</h2> <p>Paul owns a $15.75 million mansion in Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico, which he calls the "Taj MaPaul." It's got ocean views, a pool, and - most importantly - no state income tax. That last bit matters when you're earning $40 million per fight.</p> <p>He also bought a ranch in Georgia, reportedly funded largely by his Tyson earnings. He told a podcast he plans to wake-surf, hunt, and grow vegetables there. A quieter life, apparently. We'll see how long that lasts.</p> <h2>How Does Jake Paul Compare to Other Boxers?</h2> <p>Paul's $100 million net worth puts him ahead of most active fighters not named Canelo Alvarez or Tyson Fury.</p> <p>For context,<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/boxing/boxer-profiles/anthony-joshua">&nbsp;Anthony Joshua</a>'s net worth is estimated at around £195 million ($390 million AUD), built over a decade as a unified heavyweight champion. Paul has accumulated his fortune in just five years, with a fraction of the fights.</p> <p>Whether you think Paul deserves the money or not, the numbers don't lie. He's one of the highest-paid combat sports athletes on the planet.</p> <h2>What's Next?</h2> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/boxing/grade-a-fights/jake-paul-v-anthony-joshua-9856008">Paul faces Anthony Joshua on December 19, 2025</a>, and the reported purse for that upcoming bout&nbsp; is $92 million each. If that figure holds, it would be the biggest payday of Paul's career and would push his net worth well past the $100 million mark.</p> <p>Love him or hate him, the Problem Child knows how to get paid.</p>
