Paul was featured in the Disney Channel series “Bizaardvark” in 2017. However, he was dismissed from the show after his neighbors in Los Angeles allegedly reported his pranks and parties that almost always got out of hand. After he was dropped by Disney, Paul began to focus on his own Youtube channel, per Celebrity Net Worth.

His claim to fame is the highly viral music video of "It's Everyday Bro," which recorded 70 million views and counting. It even went as high as number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2017. Since then, his net worth began to increase gradually. In 2016, his estimated fortune was at $11.5 million, but two years later, it was pegged at $21.5 million. With such a massive net worth, Paul acquired a 15,000-square-foot mansion that carries a price tag of $6.9 million.

As a popular internet personality, Paul is considered one of the richest in the industry. He was able to capitalize on the fame of his older brother, Logan Paul, who is already one of the top earners among the content creators today. The Paul brothers more or less release the same type of content such as pranks, parodies and challenges that are sometimes borderline controversial.

Jake Paul recently made the headlines after a video of him inside a mall while it was being looted was uploaded on social media. Critics claimed that the Youtuber was supporting vandalism or the looting of malls and stores amid the mass protests that took place following the death of George Floyd.

Paul denied that he was part of the looting and said he only took the video to record the damage being done in the mall, as per an Insider report. Still, others did not buy his excuse and fellow Youtubers attacked him for focusing on the looting incident instead of joining the peaceful Black Lives Matter protests.
