He became famous for amassing 5.3 million Vine followers and later transitioning from Disney Channel star to professional boxer with high-profile fights including Mike Tyson and Anthony Joshua.
Jake Paul, born January 17, 1997, is an American professional boxer, influencer, and actor. He rose to fame on Vine with 5.3 million followers and 2 billion views, then transitioned to YouTube, Disney Channel's Bizaardvark, and professional boxing starting in 2018. His November 2024 fight against Mike Tyson achieved the biggest boxing gate receipts in U.S. history outside Las Vegas, and he founded Most Valuable Promotions in 2021.
Paul started posting videos on Vine in September 2013 at age 16, accumulating 5.3 million followers and 2 billion views by the platform's shutdown in 2016. He grew up in Westlake, Ohio, alongside his older brother Logan Paul, filming content together from age 10. His early Vine success led to his YouTube channel launch in May 2014, Disney Channel casting in 2015, and eventually a professional boxing debut in January 2020 after training and his first white-collar match in August 2018.
Paul was born in Cleveland and raised in Westlake, Ohio, to parents Pamela Ann Stepnick and realtor Gregory Allan Paul in a Christian household. His older brother Logan Paul, also a prominent YouTuber and boxer, was born in 1995, making him two years older than Jake. Paul's transition from internet personality to professional athlete required intensive boxing training and lifestyle changes, including managing his Team 10 entertainment collective founded in 2016 and launching ventures like Most Valuable Promotions and Anti Fund venture capital firm.
