Logan Paul is a famous personality today, thanks to his millions of followers on Vine and YouTube, who have always been supportive of his online content and his boxing career (and professional wrestling recently).
The question is, how wealthy is the internet superstar now?
Born in Westlake, Ohio, Logan Alexander Paul attended Westlake High School, where he developed his impressive amateur wrestling skills. He qualified for the state-level Ohio High School Athletic Association 2013 Division I Wrestling Individual Championships.
He would continue to Ohio University to study Industrial Engineering, but he dropped out.
Paul traveled to Los Angeles, California, with his brother Jake after dropping out of college to seek a career in social media entertainment.
Both were well-known on the video-sharing network Vine and were perhaps two of the platform's most well-known content producers.
From Internet Sensation to Celebrity Boxer
Logan had 9.47 million followers on Vine when it was shut down in 2017. But his followers continued to grow over the years on other platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
In 2018, he started venturing into amateur boxing when British YouTuber KSI challenged Logan and Jake to a fight after winning against another YouTube content creator Joe Weller.
Eventually, he fought Floyd "Money" Mayweather in an exhibition match in 2021. Though he lost the bout, Logan Paul, boxing the legendary boxer, earned him around $10 million from the event, according to SportsKeeda.
Paul is currently best known for his 'Impaulsive' podcast, and he is collaborating with KSI to introduce a new beverage brand called Prime Hydration.
His Maverick brand products and the Maverick Membership Club are among his other businesses, according to Clutch Points. He also generates money from music streams. However, he is not nearly as successful as his brother Jake in this territory.
Pokémon investor
Aside from such gigs, Paul is also a Pokémon investor. Recently it was reported that he spent $6 million on a very rare Pokémon card.
According to Professional Sports Authenticators (PSA), the card he bought was Pikachu Illustrator, which is a rare card according to Professional Sports Authenticators (PSA). Possibly it is the rarest among the Pokémon cards in the world.
The PSA grading firm just gave this version of Pikachu Illustrator a GEM Mint 10 rating, suggesting that it is in near-perfect condition as per Yahoo! Finance. That makes it the only known Pikachu Illustrator card to receive this rating, making it extremely rare and valuable, given that only about 40 of these cards were ever manufactured and released.
Logan Paul wore this card as a necklace in his WrestleMania 38 appearance recently. After his wrestling match, the Guinness Book of World Records announced that Paul had set a new world record for the most expensive Pokémon card sold in a private auction after his battle.
Congratulations to @LoganPaul on achieving his first Guinness World Records title!

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Logan Paul net worth 2022 is $35 million. That proves that Logan Paul is a wealthy man. With his diverse income streams from advertising revenues and merchandise sales, among others, he can surely afford to buy lots of valuable stuff.
