Jake Paul just turned 20; yet, he has over 17 million social media followers. His videos, which originally were posted on Vine and now span over Instagram, YouTube, Musically and other platforms, have gained over 4 billion views combined. Jake has turned his social media stardom into other ventures.

He’s now the founder of TeamDom, which includes investors like Gary Vaynerchuk and Shots Studios (who is, in turn, backed by Justin Bieber, Pete Cashmore and other media titans). He’s also become a successful actor.

Companies ranging from Coca Cola to Beats, Universal and others look to Paul and his “crew” to market their products to millennials and Gen Z’ers.
