Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson lifestyles compared: Inside the stunning homes of both boxers with £1.6m worth of luxury cars
ONE is arguably the most ferocious boxer to have ever laced up a pair of gloves and is considered by many to be among the scariest human beings to have ever lived.
The other is a former Disney star who has terrorised the social media scene for the last 11 years and is the self-appointed “disrupter of boxing”.

No one, however, in their wildest dreams would have ever thought the two bad boys would ever share the ring.
But the squared circle is exactly where Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will find themselves in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The pair, 58 and 27 respectively, will trade heavy leather in arguably the most controversial fight since the turn of the century.
Controversy, however, isn’t new to either man as it’s followed them around for most of their lives.
And contrary to what you might think, the pair have a lot in common due to their incredibly lavish lifestyles.
A multi-million-pound cannabis empire currently finances Tyson’s lush lifestyle, one no one could have ever anticipated him having after he blew through an incredible £300million fortune.
YouTube and his brief stint as a professional boxer have seen Paul rake in millions of pounds, some of which he’s used to buy a stunning £13million mansion in Puerto Rico.
Homes
Tyson, throughout the years, has called many places home – including Ohio, Maryland, Nevada, Connecticut and his native New York.

JAKE PAUL VS MIKE TYSON: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE BOUT
The fan favourite currently resides in a six-bedroom property in Henderson, on the outskirts of Las Vegas, which he paid £2.5million for.
The 8,149 square-foot space, which is situated in a gated community, has six bathrooms.
It’s a far cry from the mammoth 52-room abode he had in the 2000s in Farmington, which he was forced to sell to rapper 50 Cent after going broke.
Tyson famously had three fully-grown Bengal tigers in his now abandoned £1.1m Ohio house.

The huge property has eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms[/caption]
Just as he does with boxing experience, Paul has plenty of catching up to do in the housing department.
He’s not doing too bad for himself, though, residing in a stunning two-storey home with eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a fitness room, a luxury swimming pool, a games room and an elevator.
Cars
One of the main reasons why Tyson’s millions vanished into thin air was his love of pricey motors.
Rolls-Royces, Ferraris and McLlarens were Tyson’s cars of choice before a £15million debt to the tax man forced him to hastily sell them.
Tyson is understood to currently own a Mercedes-Benz G Class worth £136,000 and a £300,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan

Most recently, Paul added a £600k Ferrari to his vast collection[/caption]
Paul’s current fleet of cars isn’t too shabby, with the former actor currently owning a 1958 Ford Fairlaine worth £70,000, a £165,000 Lamborghini Huracan, a £360,000 Rolls Royce Phantom and a £600,000 Ferrari SF90 Spider.
He would have two Ferraris to his name had he not wrecked his £330,000 296 GTB while performing doughnuts.
Love lives
Tyson is happily married to his third wife, Lakiha Spicer, whom he was introduced to when she was 18 years old.
They remained friends until the early noughties, when they began dating.
And they tied the knot in 2009, two weeks after the tragic and heartbreaking death of Tyson’s daughter, Exodus.
Tyson’s dramatic physical and mental transformation in recent years has been in large part down to his devoted and loving wife, who he affectionately calls “Kiki”.

JAKE PAUL VS MIKE TYSON: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE BOUT
Paul hasn’t been a stranger to having a beautiful woman by his side over the years.
But he’s seemingly found “the one”, after years of failed romances with actresses and models.
The YouTuber is currently dating Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam, who played a pivotal role in helping him get over his crushing defeat to Tommy Fury.
“I have a new girlfriend which is pretty cool,” Paul revealed in one of his thousands of YouTube videos. “It’s been so refreshing.
“She’s a world champion and I’ve just been so amazed by her and her work ethic and how much of an angel she is.
“She’s one of the most pure-hearted human beings that I have met in my life.
“[She’s] so genuine and she has just changed my perspective and helped me coming out of this loss when I was in a dark place.
“She really was there talking about her losses and was able to relate to those things and what I was going through.
“So she’s been such a blessing; Jutta if you’re watching this, you’re amazing.”
“So she’s been such a blessing; Jutta if you’re watching this hi, you’re amazing.”
Net worths
Although he’s earned a pretty penny in the ring and on social media, Paul’s net worth – which is said to be around £60million – still pales in comparison to a prime Tyson’s.
Tyson has incredibly picked himself off the bankruptcy canvas over the last decade to amass a net worth of £7.8million.
His ‘Hotboxin” podcast has played a big role in his financial resurgence, but not as much as his cannabis empire.

Tyson sells weed through his brand Tyson 2.0[/caption]
The youngest-ever heavyweight champion has been flogging weed and other marijuana-laced products since 2016.
His Tyson 2.0 weed brand earns him a whopping £500,000 each month.
Marijuana hasn’t just changed Tyson’s life financially, it’s changed him spiritually.
The self-confessed former cocaine addict claims the drug – which he sometimes smokes £40,000 worth of each month – has made him a calmer person.
Puffing on Mary Jane is now a daily occurrence for Tyson, who recently admitted he could have a few draws before he makes his first professional walk to the ring in 19 years.
