Professional boxing career, Betr sports-betting platform, Most Valuable Promotions boxing promotion, Anti Fund venture vehicle, and the November 2024 Tyson exhibition on Netflix.
Jake Paul's operating architecture combines a legitimate professional boxing career with a diversified founder-and-investor portfolio. His boxing record through the November 2024 Tyson exhibition (Netflix-distributed, reported ~60M concurrent live viewers — the largest combat-sports streaming event in history) includes wins over Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Julio César Chávez Jr., and Ryan Bourland. Beyond the ring, Paul has built Betr (the mobile sports-betting and media platform co-founded with Joey Levy in 2022, reportedly raising Series A capital at a valuation approaching nine figures); Most Valuable Promotions (the boxing promotion co-founded with brother Logan Paul, Nakisa Bidarian, and Ari Emanuel); Anti Fund (his venture-capital vehicle for early-stage consumer and technology positions); and minority participation in Prime Hydration through Logan's co-founding arrangement with KSI. The composite is one of the most active creator-athlete-founder operating platforms in the industry.
Jake Paul is one of the clearest cases of the creator-economy figure extending into legitimate combat-sports competition alongside operating-business founder equity. The professional boxing career, still in mid-arc, provides ongoing brand-marketing surface and event-participation economics; the Betr / MVP / Anti Fund architecture provides the founder-equity component that will define the wealth architecture post-boxing career. The Puerto Rico Act 60 residency choice is one of the most aggressive tax-planning moves in the creator-founder cohort.
Jake Paul made his professional boxing debut in January 2020 against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, at that point widely categorized as a novelty creator-crossover event rather than a serious combat-sports engagement. Over the subsequent five years, the boxing career has legitimized through a sequence of increasingly credible opponents and a training and management infrastructure built out with BJ Flores (trainer) and Nakisa Bidarian (former UFC executive, now MVP co-founder).
The Paul boxing record through the current date includes wins over Nate Robinson (November 2020), Ben Askren (April 2021), Tyron Woodley (August and December 2021), Anderson Silva (October 2022 — the first Paul opponent with a Hall-of-Fame combat-sports pedigree), Nate Diaz (August 2023), and Andre August (December 2023). The 2023-2024 arc included a loss to Tommy Fury (February 2023, Paul's first professional loss) and subsequent wins including Ryan Bourland (March 2024) and the November 2024 exhibition with Mike Tyson.
The Netflix-distributed Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson exhibition on November 15, 2024 is the transformational event in the Paul combat-sports career. Netflix reported the event drew approximately 60 million concurrent live viewers globally at peak — the largest combat-sports streaming event in history and one of the largest sports-content events on any platform in the streaming era. The event validated MVP's promotion capabilities at Netflix-partner scale and established Paul as a promotion-and-participation principal who can command global streaming audiences comparable to top-tier UFC and DAZN boxing events.
The July 2025 Julio César Chávez Jr. win (unanimous decision) added another Hall-of-Fame-pedigree opponent to the Paul record and positioned him for potential premium-title matchups in the subsequent 2025-2026 arc.
The founder-and-investor architecture behind the boxing career is the durable-wealth component. Three vehicles constitute the Paul operating portfolio.
Betr was co-founded in 2022 by Jake Paul and Joey Levy (former founder of Simplebet, a sports-betting technology company). The mobile-first sports-betting platform launched initially in Ohio in August 2022, with expansion into additional states subject to regulatory approval in the years since. Reporting through 2023-2024 indicated Series A capital raises at valuations approaching nine figures; the specific deal terms and post-round investor composition are not fully publicly disclosed. The strategic thesis: a creator-founded sports-betting brand can differentiate against category incumbents (DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars) through creator-media distribution and social-media-first user acquisition.
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) is the boxing-promotion company co-founded by Jake Paul with brother Logan Paul, Nakisa Bidarian, Ari Emanuel (Endeavor / TKO co-founder), and other partners. MVP is positioned as a modern combat-sports promotion competing with Top Rank, Matchroom, and PBC. The November 2024 Netflix Tyson event was one of MVP's flagship productions; subsequent 2025 events have expanded the promotion's roster and event pipeline. MVP's Emanuel partnership provides the TKO / Endeavor-adjacent industry access that traditional creator-founded promotions do not have.
Anti Fund is Jake Paul's venture-capital vehicle for early-stage consumer and technology positions. The portfolio composition is not fully disclosed publicly; positions have reportedly included various consumer-brand and creator-economy adjacent startups. The vehicle operates as Paul's personal-family-office-adjacent investment platform.
Through the Logan Paul / KSI co-founding structure and the broader Congo Brands operating platform, Jake Paul participates in Prime Hydration economics though the specific ownership terms between the two brothers are not fully public.
Two additional structural elements round out the Paul operating architecture: the Puerto Rico Act 60 tax-residency choice and the family-and-brother-partnership dynamics.
Jake Paul relocated his primary tax residency to Puerto Rico under the Act 60 (formerly Act 22) individual investor incentive program in approximately 2021. Act 60 provides qualifying US-citizen residents of Puerto Rico with 0% federal tax on Puerto Rico-sourced capital gains and 4% corporate income tax on qualifying Puerto Rico export services, subject to bona-fide-residency requirements and IRS scrutiny of the domicile change. For a founder with expected capital-gains events (Betr eventual liquidity, MVP monetization, Anti Fund exits) plus content-services income sourceable through a Puerto Rico export-services entity, the Act 60 residency choice can materially lower the effective tax rate on both the operating cash flow and the eventual monetization events. The Institute's International Tax & Cross-Border Wealth reference walks the Act 60 framework at practitioner depth, including the bona-fide-residency substance requirements and the ongoing IRS enforcement posture.
Jake Paul and Logan Paul have overlapping operating architectures across Most Valuable Promotions, Prime Hydration participation, and various co-produced content projects. The composite Paul-family operating platform — Betr on Jake's independent side, Prime Hydration and WWE on Logan's independent side, MVP as the shared vehicle — is one of the largest creator-family operating platforms in the industry. Reading Jake's page in parallel with the Institute's Logan Paul reference gives the full composite picture.
The Puerto Rico Act 60 domicile plus the various operating businesses (Betr, MVP, Anti Fund) each present independent character-of-income and character-of-gain analysis. The framework analysis is covered in the Institute's Liquidity Event Playbook and Family Office Reference Guide. The composite Paul-family estate architecture is not publicly disclosed.
