According to reports, he has a total of 57.3 million followers. Moreover, Paul also has a user engagement of 1.49%. Paul currently uses his social media to hype up and create a bit of drama around his matching.

Meanwhile, fellow social media personality and boxer, KSI, also made it to the list. But it should be mentioned that in the 20th position, he was placed much below Paul. KSI has a total of 45.1 million followers. However, he has a higher user engagement than Paul at 3.42%.
There is no denying that Paul’s past career as a social media personality has massively helped him in his fame as a boxer. And the Forbes ranking is a testament to ‘The Problem Child’s loyal fanbase.
Jake Paul praises his rival KSI
Jake Paul has had a long-set rivalry with KSI. However, in a surprising turn of events, he was recently seen praising KSI for his PPV views.
Bullshit aside, the PPV business ain’t easy. Congrats to KSI and his boxing company. Those are great numbers. The day we finally settle this, it will break the internet and do some big PPV numbers on Showtime. I’m ready as soon as he feels he is.
