Jake Paul: YouTube Star, Actor, and Boxer
Jake Paul is an American actor, YouTuber, and professional boxer who rose to prominence on the now-defunct video-sharing platform Vine.
Early Life and Career
Born on January 17, 1997, in Cleveland, Ohio, Jake Paul grew up in Westlake, Ohio. His father, Greg Paul, is a real estate agent, while his mother, Pam Stepnick (née Meredith), is a registered nurse. He has an older brother named Logan Paul, also a YouTuber. In September 2013, Jake Paul posted his first video on Vine, where he gained his initial fame. He accumulated 5.3 million followers and 2 billion views before the service shut down. In 2015, he was cast in Disney Channel's comedy series "Bizaardvark" as Dirk Mann.
Social Media and Controversy
In 2017, Paul launched Team 10, a creative agency, with $1 million in seed funding. On May 30, 2017, he released a song and music video with Team 10 titled "It's Everyday Bro." The video amassed over 70 million views on YouTube in its first month but also became one of the most disliked videos on the platform. Paul's social media presence has generated controversies, including his dismissal from "Bizaardvark" amid news reports of noise complaints from neighbors and a report by KTLA5 alleging he was evicted from his home.
Boxing Career
Inspired by his brother Logan, Jake Paul began boxing in 2020. He won his first fight against YouTuber Ali Eson Gib by knockout and defeated former NBA player Nate Robinson in his second bout. Paul has faced escalating competition, notably defeating former Bellator champion Ben Askren and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in subsequent fights.
Personal Life
In 2017, Jake Paul and his friends rented a $17,000-a-month mansion in Beverly Grove, Los Angeles. In November 2017, he purchased a new home in Calabasas, California.
