Method

Jake Paul starts on Vine in September 2013 and reaches 5.3 million followers before launching YouTube in May 2014. Disney casts him in Bizaardvark in 2016 and fires him in July 2017 after neighbor complaints at the Team 10 house. On his 20th birthday, January 17, 2017, he raises $1 million for TeamDom, the company behind Team 10, and It's Everyday Bro goes platinum that May. Boxing begins with the August 2018 Deji fight and turns professional in January 2020. He co founds Most Valuable Promotions with Nakisa Bidarian in 2021 and Betr with a $50 million Series A in August 2022, launches the W personal care line at Walmart in June 2024, and the Tyson fight on Netflix in November 2024 draws a reported 65 million concurrent viewers. Anthony Joshua knocks him out in December 2025. He operates from Puerto Rico.
