Jake Paul says he is ‘going global’ after purchasing his first private jet.
‘The Problem Child’ earned a whopping $40m for his crossover clash with Mike Tyson last year and he’s putting that money to good use.

Paul flaunted his new purchase on Instagram with a video for his 28.7m followers.
The video started with ‘El Gallo’ dancing on the tarmac with a bottle of champagne in hand before the camera cut to him lying on a double bed inside the cabin.
He captioned the post: “Bought my first jet. Went global cause I’m global. Silly me.”
In the background of the video, a $220,000 Mercedes Maybach with a giant bow could also be spotted, which Paul confirmed he had bought as a ‘jet-warming gift’.
Paul followed up his Instagram reel with a tweet that read: “28 and blessed and blessed and blessed.
“Went global for my first jet. Hard work. Thank you God for the health to let me work hard.”
‘El Gallo’ then uploaded a couple more clips of him enjoying his new ride to his Instagram story.
The first was of him sprawled out on his bed watching ESPN on a flat-screen TV while the second was of him and a friend being given hot towels by their private air hostess.
Paul is reportedly finalising his next fight after the dramatic collapse of his money-spinning Netflix showdown with former undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
It was reported earlier this month that Canelo was working on a deal to square off against the YouTuber-turned-boxer on May 3 in Las Vegas.

But in a stunning eleventh-hour U-turn, Canelo walked away from negotiations to sign a lucrative four-fight deal with Riyadh Season.
He is now set to face IBF super middleweight champion William Scull in an undisputed unification clash in May while a super fight with Terence Crawford is being targeted for September.
Hardcore boxing fans rejoiced at the news, however, Paul was understandably furious.
“Breaking news: Canelo Alvarez ducked me Jake Paul and is now an owned slave with no regard for the pride of the Mexican people who support him on US soil,” he wrote on X.
“It’s not surprising when his whole career he has done nothing for the sport of boxing outside the ring.
“I’m the new face of boxing. You cannot have the biggest fight of 2025 without my name involved.

“When all of your events tank and lose money you will all realize who the king of the sport is. 28 years old.
“Biggest fight in boxing history. My own boss. Not owned. 5 years in.
“All of you felines want to see me fail, but god has other plans.
“It’s the era of good. The era of the elephant. It’s the era of MVP.”
