Here's Logan Paul's net worth in 2024 and how he made it:
How did Logan Paul get his start?
Logan Paul, born in April 1995 in Westlake, Ohio, grew up at a time when social media was not only becoming popular, but also turning into a source of income for favored creators. He started uploading videos on YouTube at just 10 years old. By his late teens, heâd switched to Vine as his main platform, where he posted to an audience of millions.
Those whoâve had social media for a while will remember Vine, a short-form video app that was around from 2013 to 2017. Paulâs account maximized the six-second limit that creators got for each video, and he mostly performed stunts, told jokes and played pranks. According to Business Insider, by the time Vine shut down, his account had 9.4 million followers.
During his Vine reign, Paul successfully transitioned many of those followers to his other social media accounts on Twitter and Instagram. He also steadily gained traction on YouTube, with his channels TheOfficialLoganPaul (started in 2013) and later, loganpaulvlogs (started in 2015).
In 2014, he dropped out of college and moved to Los Angeles to pursue an entertainment career. He began taking acting roles, starring in ad campaigns, and growing his YouTube channels until he became one of the biggest names on the platform.

What did Logan Paul make for fighting Mayweather?
When Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought in June 2021, no winner was declared. This was because it was an exhibition match, though most viewers seemed to agree Mayweather controlled the fight.
According to The New York Times, both fighters made millions from the televised bout. How many millions is a matter of speculation. Beforehand, Mayweather reportedly expected to earn $100 million, and Paul expected $20 million. Meanwhile, an unsubstantiated source reported that Mayweather was guaranteed $10 million and 50% of the pay-per-view buys, while Paul was guaranteed $250,000 and 10% of the pay-per-view.
Since the fight sold over 1 million pay-per-view buys, no matter what the split was itâs obvious why The New York Times feels comfortable saying they made millions.
