JAKE PAUL claimed his earnings in 2021 could total £75million thanks to money made in boxing and other business ventures.
The YouTube star-turned prizefighter banked at least £30m for his three fights last year alone.
But also a keen investor, he said his efforts could be worth $100m (£75m) if the American were to convert it into cash.
Paul, 25, told Fox Business: “That’s just what I made from boxing. So I’ve made some more on top of that, just from like brand deals and advertisements.
“And not including, like my crypto investments, NFT investments, metaverse investments.
“I mean if I were to cash out, yeah I’ve probably made like an extra 60 (million) on top of that just from my investments last year.
“If I were to liquidate it.”
Paul made his professional debut in January 2020 with a first-round win against online rival ‘AnEsonGib’ and followed it up by knocking out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, in the November.

But in a breakout 2021, Paul KO’d retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37, and then recorded two victories over Tyron Woodley, 39.
The first came on points in August before a brutal KO in their December rematch.
Paul had signed to fight Tommy Fury, 22, until the Brit pulled out with a broken rib, leaving ex-UFC champion Woodley beaten in the short-notice rematch.
The social media sensation has teased a move to MMA, but confirmed the switch of fighting codes is not in his immediate future.
Paul said: “I won’t be doing MMA anytime soon. But eventually, I think I could see myself doing a fight because I have a wrestling background.
“So if just learn how to do some kicks, Jiu-Jitsu, rear naked choke, then I could be, I could be doing some damage in there.”
