I wish to suppose that, as jobs go, mine is fairly good. I’m CinemaBlend’s theme park professional so I get to go to theme parks on a considerably common foundation. I even interviewed Dwayne Johnson as soon as. There are definitely worse jobs than mine. Having mentioned that, I’m starting to comprehend I could also be within the incorrect enterprise as a result of Jake and Logan Paul are making much more cash than I ever dreamed attainable, with one specific yr reaching peak monetary utopia.
Followers of Jake and Logan Paul have a brand new avenue to benefit from the well-known YouTube vloggers, because of the brand new actuality sequence Paul American, out there to stream with a Max subscription. The debut episode of the sequence has now dropped, and it contains the brothers discussing their path to success. Whereas it did take a while, Jake Paul famous it was after three years in L.A. that the brothers reached the highest of their platform of alternative, saying:
After three years of residing in Los Angeles, Logan and I turned the most important day by day Vloggers on YouTube.
After all, even being the most important Vloggers on YouTube doesn’t essentially reveal simply how profitable the pair turned. What does that imply by way of precise revenue? Effectively, apparently it means tens of tens of millions of {dollars} in a single yr, even when not solely from YouTube particularly. In any case, that was nearly a decade in the past! Logan Paul defined:
After I began making merch, fuck me, we grossed $50 million {dollars} in 2017. $50 million!
Whereas I can consider that being the most important Vloggers on YouTube is definitely sufficient to make anyone wealthy, a quantity like that is nicely past what I’d have guessed, particularly again in 2017. When YouTube was their solely actual outlet, it was sufficient to create followers who not solely watched all their movies and boosted their advert income, but additionally purchased the merch.
Now, Logan Paul does say the $50 million quantity is gross, so the precise revenue, the cash they made, is one thing lower than that. However even when the Paul Brothers’ prices have been additionally within the tens of millions of {dollars}, they’re nonetheless clearing some huge cash.
And that was in 2017. As we speak, the 2 brothers are extra well-known than they’ve ever been. Logan Paul is wrestling within the WWE, whereas Jake Paul boxed Mike Tyson on Netflix. Whereas lots of their cash isn’t coming by YouTube anymore, perhaps not even most of it, their exterior endeavors have seemingly solely made their YouTube work extra well-liked.
Time will inform how profitable Paul American will probably be, but when the brothers’ present followers end up for it, it’s going to definitely be watched by lots of people. This might imply extra seasons of the present and much more cash within the pockets of Jake and Logan Paul. I’m clearly within the incorrect enterprise.
