When you take down legendary boxer Mike Tyson, one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, you deserve more than just money. A memorable memento feels more fitting, and 28-year-old Jake Paul made sure to claim two. After facing 58-year-old Tyson in a professional boxing match, he rewarded himself with his first private jet and a Mercedes-Maybach GLS.
Jake Paul, who knows both social media and his sport well, wasted no time flaunting his new acquisitions on Instagram. He reportedly pocketed $50 million from the mega event streamed live on Netflix and decided to share the spoils with his 28.7 million followers. In a video uploaded to social media, he can be seen dancing in front of his sleek, gray private jet and luxury SUV, both adorned with oversized red bows in true Kardashian style. “Went global ’cause I’m global. Silly me,” he captioned the post.
While the Maybach likely set him back around $250,000, details on the jet remain unclear. However, he did share a clip of himself lounging on a bed mid-flight, indulging in nachos, and watching ESPN before a flight attendant brought him hot towels.
The SUV, on the other hand, is a top-tier luxury vehicle powered by a 4.0-liter biturbo engine with a mild hybrid setup. Generating 550 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, it sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. Beyond performance, the Maybach stuns in Manufaktur Alpine Grey and rolls on optional 23-inch Maybach forged five-hole monoblock wheels, an extravagant $6,000 upgrade.
Interestingly, while Jake Paul celebrates his private jet, his opponent, who is thirty years his senior, takes the opposite approach. Tyson, now known for his successful podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, has openly stated that he avoids private planes as they serve as a trigger for past behaviors he wishes to leave behind.
