Jake Paul’s Lavish $20 Million Puerto Rico Mansion and His New ‘El Gallo’ Nickname

Jake Paul, the renowned YouTuber and boxer, has recently garnered attention not only for his upcoming boxing match against Mike Tyson but also for his luxurious lifestyle, particularly his lavish mansion in Puerto Rico. The mansion, dubbed the ‘Taj MaPaul,’ was purchased by Paul in 2023 for nearly $16 million and has undergone significant renovations, boosting its value to around $20 million[4].

The compound is a testament to Paul’s extravagant taste, featuring a 7,632-square-foot main house and a 5,000-square-foot building dedicated to entertainment. The property includes unique touches such as a giant astronaut statue by the pool, reflecting the opulence and grandeur that Paul is known for[4].

In addition to his impressive real estate, Paul has also adopted a new nickname, ‘El Gallo,’ which translates to ‘the fighting rooster’ in Spanish. This nickname is said to have originated from his connections to Puerto Rico, where he owns the mansion. The nickname ‘El Gallo Dorado‘ specifically refers to the fighting rooster of Dorado, a town in Puerto Rico[3][4].

Paul’s connection to Puerto Rico extends beyond his real estate investments. He has also been involved in local controversies, such as an investigation by Puerto Rico’s Department of Natural & Environmental Resources in 2021 following footage of him driving over a protected area[5]. Despite these controversies, Paul remains a significant figure in both the entertainment and boxing worlds.
