He had a typical childhood. Much like Justin Bieber and Paul Logan who found fame on the internet, so did Jake Paul. His internet career began on the now-defunct video app, Vine. He was one of the most popular Vine stars, and by the time the app shut down, Paul had over five million followers and two billion plays on the app. In 2015, it was announced he would star in the Disney Channel show, Bizaardvark. The show aired on Disney Channel for three seasons, but Paul was removed from the show during the second season after a local Los Angeles news station reported he was basically terrorizing his neighbors in the Beverly Grove community by making lots of noise, throwing constant parties and pulling immature pranks. Paul used his new freedom to build up his personal brand and his YouTube channel. In 2017, he started a bizarre musical group called Team 10 and they actually went on tour in 2018. They played music during the show and performed comedy sketches for their fans. Paul has over 18 million subscribers on YouTube, but that doesn’t mean he’s popular with everybody. His music video for ‘It’s Everyday Bro’ has become the third most disliked video on YouTube. Jake Paul’s audience is mostly kids, which has led to some people questioning his advertising techniques. In 2019, he promoted MysteryBrand to his followers, a website which offers the chance to open a digital “mystery box” of pre-selected items with a promise to win one in real life. Several users reported that they never received their promised prize. Paul also released his debut single ‘I’m Single’ in 2019. The music video has over 10 million views on YouTube with 292,000 likes and 164,000 dislikes. Safe to say, Paul is a polarizing online figure. The good news for Paul is that people are talking about him, which fuels his popularity online. His net worth is reportedly around $19 million. Not bad for a 22-year-old internet celebrity. Needless to say, Jake Paul’s net worth puts him in the millionaires club with Beyonce, Lil Wayne, and Stephen Curry.
