• Controversial YouTuber and influencer Jake Paul gave a tour of his new Puerto Rico home.
• He said the home cost $16,000,000 and features eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and a six-car garage.

In recent years Jake Paul has transformed from a controversial content creator to, well, a controversial professional boxer.

Paul got his start on Vine back in 2013, amassing over 5.3 million followers by the time the app shut down, which helped the content creator land a role on the Disney Channel in the series "Bizaardvark," but the influencer revealed he was fired from the show after KTLA 5 visited his West Hollywood home and interviewed neighbours about his brash YouTube antics.

The content creator was subsequently embroiled in a string of scandals, including a short-lived marriage to fellow YouTuber Tana Mongeau, partying during the COVID-19 pandemic, and using racial slurs.

In 2022, Paul continued to rile up controversy during his latter career as a boxer, calling out figures in the boxing world such as Canelo Alveraz, and Tommy Fury, who he recently fought and lost to in February 2023.
