To the YouTube generation, the Paul surname evokes a certain amount of expectation that it's accompanied by news of viral controversy or outlandish drama.

This kind of reputation has helped establish Jake and Logan Paul as "the big bad wolves" of YouTube, the younger Paul brother, Jake, told Business Insider in a recent interview. To him, this status means the brothers are constantly facing an upward battle in their career pursuits, which have expanded into music production and amateur boxing.

"The Paul family is sort of notorious," Jake Paul told Business Insider. "Everyone wants to see the big bad wolves fall."

At 22 and 24, respectively, Jake and Logan Paul are already viewed as veterans of the creator space. While they $4, an app that no longer even exists, younger and younger kids are emerging in the industry from the likes of TikTok and Instagram. Their nearly 10 years in the limelight has been marred with $4 that have successfully captured the attention of media and fans, and won't soon be forgotten.

2019 was a particularly wild year for Jake Paul - a large feat, considering past hiccups have seem him accused of turning his $4 and $4 in a Disney channel show. Paul started dating a fellow YouTuber, Tana Mongeau, not long after both of them had gone through $4. From the beginning, their relationship made headlines and was $4. Paul and Mongeau publicly dated for a month, $4, and held a $4 that featured a public brawl - before announcing just a few days into 2020 that they were $4.

"It's best for both of us to be friends. I think it's a weight lifted off our shoulders," Paul told Business Insider. "I'm doing great. I'm doing as happy as ever, and I'm ready to kill 2020."

Moving into 2020, Paul is following in the $4 by trying his hand in the boxing ring - something that $4. Although Logan Paul's recent bout against YouTuber KSI $4, it brought him an $4.

Jake Paul is scheduled to fight at the end of January against $4 exclusively shown on DAZN, the sports-streaming platform behind the production of several recent YouTube boxing matches. In the wake of his brother's loss, Paul vowed to $4, and is already setting his sights on a future battle with KSI.

"[AnEsonGib] is a kid that no one really knows about," Paul said. "This opponent is merely a doormat I'm wiping my shoes on on the path of taking on KSI and knocking him out."

Paul told Business Insider that beyond boxing, he's also working on "a couple films and TV shows." This would be his first foray into television since $4 in 2017. While both Paul and Disney have said that his mid-season exit $4, there's been much speculation as to whether it had to do with the widely covered complaints at the time that he and his housemates - members of a content creator incubator Paul founded called Team 10 - were $4 with couch-burning parties and troves of screaming fans.

For now, Paul says he's focusing on interests that bring him "happiness and freedom," instead of a lucrative income. This mindset may help to explain why Paul fell in 2019 $4 - although his net worth is estimated to stand $4.

"When I was first coming up, it was so cool to have the nice things and cars. But at the end of the day, that stuff doesn't make you happy," Paul said. "When you really get to know the business, you know that these people aren't living the lives they portray. There's only a few people actually succeeding."
