Jake Paul has explained his net worth is in excess of $100million after a successful year in and out of the ring.
The YouTube star had a hugely successful 2021, defeating Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley twice to generate an estimated $40 million from ring earnings.
He also has his own promotional label which he is using to promote the clash between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.
Paul has explained that his net worth increased from other factors including 'NFT' and Cryptocurrency investments made last year alongside his sponsorship and brand deals.
"That is just what I made from boxing [$40 million]," Paul told Fox Business. "I made some more on top of that from brand deals and advertisements.
"That is not including my crypto investments, NFT investments, Metaverse investments. If I were to cash out, yeah I have probably made an extra $60 million on top of that just from my investments last year if I were to liquidate it.
"I put money into Bitcoin when I was sixteen years old but I am a long term holder so I can add to the retirement fund. I have my team at Morgan Stanley and they handle all this stuff.
"I am more into the Crypto side of things and they tell me what kind of traditional stocks I can put into."
Paul generated huge wealth from his career on streaming platform YouTube which helped him rise to fame alongside brother Logan.
His 2021 began with a bang fighting Askren on a Triller card which is expected to have earned him an estimated $10m after a successful number of pay-per-views were sold.
Paul went on to face former UFC champion Woodley in a bumper event on Showtime pay-per-view which is expected to have generated the star around $15m.

He then rematched the star despite initially planning to face British star Tommy Fury and scored a brutal KO which earned him another $15m to add to his growing cash pot.
With his wealth growing from fighting in the ring, Paul has continued to campaign for better pay for fighters and is using his platform to challenge the likes of UFC president Dana White over his financial structure.
He recently claimed that he earned more than all of the UFC roster combined for his recent exploits.
"I make more than every UFC fighter f****** combined, including Conor," Paul said on the 'Impaulsive' podcast.
"Y'all work for f***ing Dana, y'all work for WME, Endeavor, that's who you work for. I make more than all of you silly mother*******.
"Why would I go into the UFC? Sign a contract and give away my f***ing rights and s***. I own my content, I own my platform, I own everything."
