(NewsNation) — Social media influencer turned boxer Jake Paul is one of the highest-paid influencers in the world — but how much is he worth, and where does his wealth come from?
Paul started posting videos on the now-defunct social platform Vine when he was a teenager and earned more 5 million followers before the site was shut down. Paul was then hired by Disney for its “Bizaardvark” television show.
Along with posting videos on social media, Paul has now become a boxer, and his 2024 fight against Mike Tyson was broadcast live on Netflix.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Paul’s net worth is $100 million. Here’s how he makes his money:
