Netflix Boxing Battle Decided In The Ring, But Paul's $16M Mansion Takes The Real Estate Crown
Jake Paul was victorious in Friday’s highly anticipated Netflix boxing match against Mike Tyson and his real estate portfolio seems to outshine the boxing legend’s holdings too.
The 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer won unanimously and bought a $16 million compound that dwarfs Tyson’s Nevada residence.

Paul’s recently acquired estate in Dorado, Puerto Rico, shows the social media star’s success outside the ring. The eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom compound underwent $2.1 million in renovations after its 2023 purchase.
In a recent YouTube tour titled “My new $20,000,000 house tour,” Paul highlighted his changes, including a redesigned entrance for improved energy flow.
According to Realtor.com, the property includes several distinctive amenities, such as a 40-person hot tub and dedicated office space for Paul’s content production team. His garage also received a custom makeover to accommodate his growing car collection.
By comparison, Tyson’s real estate footprint appears modest.
The former heavyweight champion’s current residence, a $2.5 million mansion in Henderson, Nevada, has appreciated to an estimated $4.7 million, according to Realtor.com. The 8,000-square-foot home, where he lives with his wife, Lakiha Spicer and their children, has six bedrooms and six bathrooms.

According to the report, Tyson’s real estate history includes a previous 19,500-square-foot estate in Southington, Ohio, which he sold for $1.3 million during financial difficulties in the late 1990s.
The 58-acre property’s subsequent owner never occupied it, serving time in prison for money laundering.
The record-breaking boxing match, which earned Paul roughly $40 million and Tyson $20 million, further widens the wealth gap between the two fighters. According to CBS News, Paul said he wanted to fight again after the victory, targeting a championship title within two years. “I truly believe in my skills, my ability and my power,” he said, setting his sights on the cruiserweight division.
While Tyson acknowledged the loss gracefully, posting “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won” on X, formerly Twitter.
