Logan Paul, the American YouTuber, boxer, internet personality, and actor, has amassed a net worth of $75 million. With over 23.6 million followers on his YouTube channel, he has been one of the highest-paid YouTubers on the planet, earning an annual personal income of at least $20 million. Apart from his YouTube career, he runs a lucrative merchandise company called Maverick Apparel, which generated more than $40 million in sales within its first nine months of operation.

In recent years, Logan and his brother Jake have pivoted to the professional boxing world. Logan signed a multi-year deal with WWE for a reported three years and $15 million following several appearances over the years. He made $5.25 million boxing Floyd Mayweather.

Logan started making videos for YouTube when he was 10 years old using a channel he launched called Zoosh. He was an All-Star linebacker for the Westlake High School football team in 2012 and also a State Champion wrestler in high school. He went on to study engineering at Ohio University.

Between 2013 and 2014, he went from 900 followers on various social platforms to 1.5 million. He was especially popular on the social platform Vine. He dropped out of college at Ohio University in 2014 to move to Los Angeles.

A compilation of his work from Vine was turned into a YouTube compilation video and posted. He soon had 4 million followers on Vine and was hired to create paid videos for HBO, Pepsi, Virgin Mobile, and other companies. Once Vine closed down, Paul moved his act over to YouTube.

Logan and his multiple controversies

However, Logan has been involved in several controversies throughout his career. In December 2017, Paul uploaded a video to his YouTube channel that he had filmed at Aokigahara at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan, commonly known as the suicide forest as it is a place many people have gone to commit suicide.

Paul's video showed a dead body hanging from a tree. The video had 6.3 million views within 24 hours of being uploaded, leading to several online petitions urging YouTube to delete Paul's channel. Paul removed the video from his YouTube channel and issued a written apology on Twitter on January 1, 2018.

In early February 2018, YouTube suspended all advertising on Paul's channels due to his "pattern of behavior." YouTube was specifically referring to Paul taking part in the Tide Pod challenge, the time he took a out of his pond to "jokingly give it CPR," and the time he videoed himself using a taser gun on two dead rats. Paul received no revenue from his page views during that period.
