YouTube sensation Jake Paul is known for his love of expensive and flashy purchases. He recently added a Ferrari 296 GTB to his collection. With 830 horsepower and a hybrid engine, the sports car became the center of attention for the social media influencer. Eager to showcase his new toy, Paul decided to put on a show by performing donuts in a parking lot. However, the stunt didn’t go as planned, and the aftermath left fans and onlookers buzzing.

The ‘Prancing Horse’ cost the 26-year-old a whopping $421,000 and after purchasing his latest asset, Paul couldn’t resist the temptation of testing the limits of his Ferrari. He headed to a nearby parking lot to indulge in some donuts, spinning the car in circles and generating clouds of smoke. Moreover, he uploaded a video of this stunt on his Instagram account revealing his latest purchase to the world.

“I like my donuts glazed. For those asking it’s a Ferrari 296 GTB. 830 Horsepower. Hybrid engine. Drive likes an 830 horsepower go kart, I love it.” he wrote.

Paul’s donut stunt didn’t sit well with fans, who voiced their concerns and criticism on social media. Many questioned the wisdom of subjecting such an expensive and rare vehicle to potential damage. This was not all as comparisons were also drawn to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, who was banned by Ferrari for selling his customized vehicle shortly after purchase, causing a legal dispute.

Another user was not too excited at ‘The Problem Child’s’ purchase. “we get it bro u bought a Ferrari” he wrote.

A user Connor Finister pointed out that Paul could not even do a proper donut with his luxury car. “Poor lad can’t do a full donut” he wrote.

Moreover, a user claimed that nobody cared about a YouTube star buying expensive cars, which has become pretty common. “Nobody cares pal” he wrote.

Also, a user named Merrick Harding stated that Ferrari would be printing out a cease and desist letter after seeing Paul pulling off stunts. “Ferrari typing up that cease and desist letter right now lol” he wrote.

While Paul’s donut performance in his Ferrari garnered attention and stirred controversy, it serves as a reminder of the consequences that come with extravagant behavior. In addition, the fans were not too keen to see the Ohio-based boxer showing off his riches. Despite this, Paul does have bigger problems to worry about as his upcoming bout with Nate Diaz is just on the horizon. This will be a great opportunity for him to bounce back after suffering his first professional loss to Tommy Fury as he looks to create a legacy in the sport of boxing.
