Logan Paul is a YouTuber that people love to hate. Through the years, the 26-year-old has courted vast amounts of controversy, from his shamelessly disrespectful behavior when visiting Japan to his offensive comments regarding homosexuality. Then there's also the matter of the amateur thinking he can take on undefeated professional boxer Floyd Mayweather, despite Paul having previously lost a bout to fellow amateur and wealthy YouTuber KSI.

Despite all the ire directed in Paul's direction, he is exceedingly rich and successful, with one of the most subscribed YouTube channels in the United States. Having amassed a net worth of around $19 million, this begs the question: how did such a divisive figure get so filthy rich? And what does a young man like Paul do with such enormous amounts of cash? Keep reading to find out how the controversial vlogger earns and spends his reported $19 million net worth.
10 Earns: Subscribers And Ad Revenue
The more subscribers one has on YouTube, the greater the ad revenue. Once a user hits 1k subscribers, they are eligible for monetization. Logan Paul is the self-styled "greatest YouTuber", and his braggart may be largely attributable to his 23.1 million subscribers, earning him approximately $5,000 to $25,000 for each video he uploads.
In a month, he can expect to earn an incredible $200,000 solely from ad revenue.
9 Spends: Pokémon Cards
One of Paul's passions is Pokémon. In particular, he loves collecting Pokémon cards. Earlier this year, the vlogger spent a whopping $2 million on a super rare selection of cards.

After 3 months looking for mint condition 1st edition Pokémon cards, he acquired six boxes containing cards that cost as much as $400,000 each.
8 Earns: Public Appearances
As a super successful YouTuber, Paul can justify charging a pretty penny for public appearances. According to CTI (Celebrity Talent International), Paul can be hired for the princely sum of $75,000 to $149,999.
Still, that's pretty tame in comparison to some other celebs' public engagement fees. Prince Harry, for instance, charges $1 million per public appearance.
7 Spends: Car Collection
Like many celebs, Paul has a penchant for luxury cars, as does his younger brother Jake. The elder Paul owns at least 4 cars. His first was a Dodge Challenger, which cost $31,295. Thereafter, he went on to purchase a Mercedes G Wagon for $184,428, a Polaris Slingshot, which cost $30,000, and the so-called Cool Bus, which is a school bus that he bought for $110,000 and subsequently pimped out.
6 Earns: Branded Content
In addition to YouTube, Paul creates branded content for Facebook and Instagram, including promoting HBO and Pepsi, as well as sponsorships from multibillion dollar brands such as Nike. According to Forbes, he earns $80,000 for sponsored content on Instagram and around $1.5 million for Facebook.
5 Spends: California Mansion And Other Properties
Paul lives in an opulent, gated house in Encino California. Dubbed the Maverick House, Paul bought the mansion for $6.5 million. The 8,698 square foot abode boasts numerous wine cellars, enormous swimming pools, a movie theater, and its own gym.
In 2019, he also bought a $1.1 million desert ranch, which was once owned by LSD advocate Timothy Leary.
4 Earns: Clothing Line
As with many rich celebs, Paul decided to start his own clothing line, Maverick, which sells streetwear at mid-range prices. For instance, a hoodie costs around $145, while a sweatshirt typically costs $125. Paul claims that the brand brought in between $30 and $40 million in its first year.
The brand is named after his late pet parrot, who passed away in 2019.
3 Spends: Pedigree Pets
Speaking of Maverick the parrot, Paul also owns many other pets. In addition to pet pigs, cats, and other exotic birds, he is a dog lover and has owned several pups throughout the years.
His dog, Ginger, is a "lion puppy" or Tibetan Mastiff. Although we don't know how much Paul paid for Ginger, Tibetan Mastiffs can typically cost anywhere between $2,000 to $7,000. The impressive pooch boasts almost 400k Instagram followers, though she mysteriously hasn't posted since being neutered in 2019. Paul also had a Pomeranian named King Kong Da Savage, whom he bought for $2,500. Sadly, Kong passed away in 2019.
2 Earns: Fights
In recent years, Paul has embarked on a boxing career. Despite having lost catastrophically to fellow millionaire YouTuber KSI in 2018, Paul was determined to take on professional boxer Floyd Mayweather.

1 Spends: A Babysitter And Other Staff
Paul has revealed that he spends a jaw-dropping $250k a month. He has said that the majority of this expenditure goes to the numerous people working for him, including an actual babysitter, who tries to keep the controversy-loving vlogger out of trouble.
But despite his controversial persona, Paul is not immune to moments of generosity and sweetness. For instance, last year he bought his assistant, Dani Strobel, her dream car, a brand new Jeep costing $50,000.
