From Vine's bad boy to boxing's big player: How did Logan Paul outshine controversy?

In the fickle world of internet fame, Logan Paul seems to have mastered the art of metamorphosis. From his humble beginnings on Vine to the chaotic canvas of YouTube, and from gloves-up in the boxing ring to a dramatic leap into WWE, Logan's been there, done that, and sold the t-shirt. Literally.

Internet's prodigal son packs a punch

Now, at the prime age of 28, this Ohio native isn't just stepping into any ring but is prepping to trade blows with former UFC dynamo, Dillon Danis. And where's this spectacle taking place? None other than the under card of the hotly anticipated KSI vs. Tommy Fury face-off this weekend.

Though Logan's career has been punctuated by several headline-grabbing missteps, the man's resurgence in the entertainment galaxy has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. And, as always with big personalities, the pressing question beckons: just how heavy are Logan Paul's pockets?

The jaw-dropping answer? As reported by Forbes, this YouTuber's net worth clocks in at a staggering $20.9 million, positioning him at a cozy #6 among 2023's online content giants. To give some perspective, only titans like Mr. Beast and business compadre KSI outshine him, sitting pretty at #1 and #2 respectively. Last year's exhibition match against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather certainly padded Logan's wallet, with a cool $15 million in earnings.

Merch, drinks, and sponsor central

But boxing isn't his sole revenue stream. Dive into Logan's entrepreneurial adventures, and you'll discover 'Maverick,' his clothing line brainchild. Plus, in a venture with KSI, Logan co-pilots 'Prime,' a brand that not only boasts partnerships with football behemoths like Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona, but also raked in a resounding $250 million in its debut sales year.

His market influence? Well, just peek at his whopping sponsor list. HBO, Hanes, Bic, Dunkin' Donuts, Nike, Verizon, and PepsiCo, to name a few. The numbers are equally tantalizing with his Instagram army numbering 26.8 million and YouTube brigade at 23.6 million.

Yet, while the past few years have been an ascent, let's not forget that Logan once plummeted from grace due to a controversial video in 2018. But the commendable switch in his content direction is testament to his adaptability, proving that while the internet can be unforgiving, it also offers second chances.
