YouTube boxer Logan Paul spends over $5million on world's rarest Pokemon card

YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul travelled the world and spent $5,275,000 to pick up the rarest Pokemon card in existence.

The social media star, who has boxed three times including an exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather, spent months in negotiations to make the purchase and to land himself in the Guinness Book of World Records. He travelled from California to London, Italy and Dubai to pick up the only 'Pikachu Illustrator' card in the world that is graded as a 10/10 perfect condition.

Paul sealed the deal just days before his WWE debut in April, where he teamed with The Miz to face Rey Mysterio and his son Dominick in a tag team match. And moments after his match at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, he was presented with a plaque to certify his massive purchase was the biggest in Pokemon card collecting history.
