Jake Paul is more than a YouTuber. The former Disney star has expanded his horizons to become the single biggest name in the influencer boxing game. After winning his debut match against fellow YouTuber Deji in August 2018, the youngest Paul brother got hit with the proverbial boxing bug. He went on to start a pro career, taking out names like NBA star Nate Robinson, former Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren, and former UFC champ Tyron Woodley. Boasting a 5-0 record, \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 is set to take on his sixth opponent this August\u2026 but he\u2019s already scored a major win ahead of time. On May 17, it was revealed that Jake is the sixth highest-paid athlete 25 & under by Sportico. Following names like soccer legend Kylian Mbappe and tennis star Naomi Osaka, Paul ranks sixth on the list with a whopping $37 million earned in his career as a budding boxing talent.
