Jake Paul steps into the ring on Sunday night for the biggest fight of his boxing career. ‘The Problem Child’ will finally get to face bitter rival Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia this evening, in one of the most highly anticipated boxing fights of the year so far.
Not only is this one of the biggest fights of the year to date, it could end up being one of the biggest matchups of the year, full stop. Both Paul and Fury are massively popular names and are extremely well known celebrities, so a fight between the pair is sure to do massive numbers.
Ahead of the fight from the Diriyah Arena on Sunday night, we have decided to take a deep dive into the career earnings and net worth of Jake Paul. It’s fair to say that the 26-year-old won’t be counting down the days to his next paycheque anytime soon!
As of February 2023, Jake Paul’s net worth is said to be somewhere between $50-80 million. The American social media personality/YouTuber/boxer/actor has been a huge name for the best part of a decade now. Paul began making millions through his YouTube career, before making even more in recent years in his boxing career.
The Ohio man owns a number of businesses too, which certainly enhances his net worth. Jake Paul is heavily involved in Betr, which will prove to be a massive player in the coming years when gambling becomes widely legal across the United States.
Paul of course runs Most Valuable Promotions alongside Nakisa Bidarian. These are just a few of the business avenues that the brother of Logan Paul has ventured into. On top of his YouTube and boxing career, these other avenues also earn him a tonne of extra money.
Despite only having his first professional boxing fight in 2020, Jake Paul became the highest paid athlete under the age of 25 in 2021 thanks to his boxing career, according to Forbes.
‘The Problem Child’ had two fights in 2020, before competing three times in 2021 in the boxing ring. Paul had just the one fight in 2022 against Anderson Silva, but has earned astronomical sums of money since he started on his boxing journey. Hats off to him, he knows how to make a penny or two.
The 26-year-old has gone from strength to strength since turning professional. This is backed up by his career earnings, which have continued to grow at a rapid rate over the past few years. Should ‘The Problem Child’ win tonight against Tommy Fury, his career earnings could again catapult even higher!
It is reported that the Ohio man earned around $40 million in 2021. Forbes suggested that his three bouts in 2021, firstly against Ben Askren and then twice against Tyron Woodley, earned him the $40 million figure from pay-per-view and other revenue streams. Another $5m reportedly came from non-boxing activities.
This means that Jake Paul’s total career earnings inside the boxing ring equates to roughly $54 million. This is quite staggering considering Paul only took to the sport three years ago and as of yet hasn’t fought a real professional boxer.
With just a few hours until the Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight, both men are set to earn an absolute fortune for the bout. For the fight alone, Jake Paul is expected to earn around $3.2 million with a further $5 million from his various sponsors.
This is not to mention the fact that Paul had a guaranteed 65% share of the pay-per-view revenue too. It doesn’t stop there for Jake Paul either. Should he go on to win the fight, he will receive an additional $1 million. This means that all in all, ‘The Problem Child’ could earn well over $10 million for this one fight alone against Tommy Fury!
