Jake Paul is set for the biggest fight of his boxing career as he takes on sporting icon Mike Tyson on Friday night.
‘The Problem Child’ meets one of the sport’s greatest ever in a huge clash in Dallas Texas, with the bout live on Netflix.
Paul has a professional record of 10-1, with his only career defeat coming against Tommy Fury in February 2023.
His success in the ring has led to a tonne of prize money being collected and he’s now set for another huge payout.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer isn’t in desperate need for any more money though, as he already boasts a huge net worth…
Jake Paul net worth
Paul’s net worth is an estimated $80million.
He has made millions from his boxing career so far, however, a lot of his income is still picked up from social media.
Before getting into boxing, Paul had already built his name online, gaining billions of views and over 20million subscribers on his YouTube channel.
The 27-year-old made his name on Vine in 2013 and went on to be a part of a series on Disney Channel while also building a following of his own.
He used his large reputation to start calling out boxers and after making his debut in 2021, his career is thriving.
From all of his exploits, Paul is reported to be bringing in between $20million and $50million every single year.
That comes from his boxing, YouTube, merchandise and other endorsements that he receives.

According to Forbes, Paul has picked up around $38million from his boxing purses, endorsements and PPVs.
His highest prize money came when he beat UFC legend Anderson Silva in October 2022, as he claimed over $4million.
He also took home over $3million despite losing to Fury and around $2million for his fights against Tyron Woodley.
Paul’s last fight against Nate Diaz last summer saw him claim a big payday of around $2million too.
Combining that with his social media success leaves him with a hefty net worth that sees him as one of the highest-paid creators and athletes in the world.
And he’s only going to get richer after fighting Tyson.
Although, Paul can’t compete with ‘Iron’ when it comes to earnings, as the legend has picked up an incredible amount of money.
During a glittering career that spanned over 20 years, Tyson is said to have earned around $430million (£337.5m).
His highest payout was $35million, but he could be reaching similar amounts of money for this bout.
Both Paul and Tyson are set for a major payday and former UFC champion Henry Cejudo is expecting that the latter will make $20million.
“I mean, you know what I respect, Uncle Mike… But it obviously takes two to tango,” he said earlier this year.
“I feel like there is probably a really good payday for Mike. He’s probably going to wind up making close to about 20 mil, and he’s about to turn 58 years old.”
Paul has even offered to increase Tyson’s prize money should he make it through four rounds of the fight without losing.
“Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5 million,’’ the YouTuber-turned-boxer said last month.
“But, if you don’t, then you have to get a tattoo that says I love Jake Paul. Deal or no deal?’’
