He returns on November 15 in Texas against Mike Tyson in what is his most controversial but lucrative fight yet.
Paul has boasted about making $40m (£31m) alone for the fight – which marks Netflix’s first move into live boxing.
And that will shoot his overall earnings to $100m (£75m) for the man who just six years ago was the star of Disney Channel show Bizaardvark.
With a grin, Paul said: “Not bad at all, man, I can’t believe it. I’ve already exceeded all my own expectations in life and boxing and everything.
“So whatever happens next is just gravy and I’m just having fun with it and trying to inspire other kids because I’m literally from Ohio.
“Middle of this town grew up with a blue collar family and didn’t know what any of this world is.
“And so it really shows like if you want to do something, you just gotta go for it.”
Paul earned $30m (£22.7m) in his only ever defeat to Tommy Fury, 25, in Saudi Arabia in 2023.

In 2021, Forbes listed him among boxing’s top earners with £30m made, while he pocketed around £10m for beating Nate Diaz, 39, in 2023.
Paul, 27, was due to fight Tyson, 58, on July 20 but the beloved boxing icon pulled out amid a health precaution.

Paul later stopped bare-knuckle boxing champion Mike Perry, 32, in the meantime while Tyson made a recovery.
So the controversial clash – scrutinised for the three-decade age gap – has been postponed but Netflix are well and truly in the Jake Paul business.
He said: “They’ve expressed interest in wanting to work with Most Valuable Promotions and me and Nakisa [Bidarian] moving forward but in terms of opponents, we haven’t gone into discussions.
“But I definitely think once this is a massive success, I think there’ll be 50 to 70 million viewers live and that’ll break so many streaming records.
“Once that happens, I believe Netflix will wanna do more things with MVP.”
Paul hosted the press conference between Francis Ngannou, 37, and Renan Ferreira, 34, ahead of their Professional Fighters League clash on October 19 in Saudi Arabia.
The American is signed to the PFL to make his MMA debut – but he warned his immediate future remains in the ring.
Paul said: “It’ll most likely be boxing unless a name comes up and there’s a new free agent, most likely we will go back to boxing.
“But like I said, I’m ready for MMA, we just need to find the right person.”
