Jake and Logan Paul became famous due to YouTube videos and social media presence. Now, the pair are known as disrupters in the combat sports world.
Born in Ohio, both brothers are now international superstars. Jake started as a Disney star and went on to become a YouTuber before making his presence known in boxing. “The Problem Child” is now 8-1 as a professional and has also formed Most Valuable Promotions and Most Valuable Prospects.
Logan fought Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout and Dillon Danis in a professional contest. He is currently signed to WWE, reigning as the WWE United States Champion.
When they aren’t competing or promoting events in the U.S., Australia, and wherever else n the world, they spend time on the island of Puerto Rico.
Here’s what you need to know about why Jake and Logan Paul chose to live where they do.
Why do Jake and Logan Paul live in Puerto Rico?
In 2011, Logan Paul moved from Los Angeles to Puerto Rico.
This move into a $13 million mansion came after his bout with Floyd Mayweather. Paul initially claimed he wanted to prove himself as more than a social media giant. However, he later revealed (per Bloomberg) that high taxes in California were a factor.

“In Puerto Rico, you are motivated to do more and make more money because of the implications that come with tha. It is 96 percent of the reasons (taxes), which is the same amount of money that you keep each year if you live in Puerto Rico,” Paul and his team said on the Impaulsive podcast.
Paul was considering Texas and Florida. Most residents (if you are a citizen) in Puerto Rico do not have to pay the federal personal income tax that comes within the U.S.
Jake joined his brother and recently moved into his own $16 million mansion.
