According to Forbes, Jake Paul made $45 million in 2021. $40 million for his three boxing matches and $5 million on other income, mostly YouTube.
That would have placed him 20th on the Forbes list of highest-paid athletes, edging out well-established superstars like Novak Djokovic and Phil Mickelson.
The 24-year-old would also be the highest-paid boxer in the world, topping the $34 million Canelo Alvarez made.
