"I haven't announced it yet, but I bought a ranch," Paul said during an interview on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast (thanks to Yahoo Entertainment for the quotes). "A pretty expensive ranch. It's kind of been my dream and why I work so hard. I think it's just I love everything to do with it: hunting, jet skiing, ATVs, fishing, horses, cows and all that stuff."

Reports had Paul making over $30 million alone for for the bout with Tyson. The 28-year-old founded Most Valuable Promotions in 2021.

"It cost $39 million," Paul said of his purchase. "It's massive. It's a little bit bigger than I wanted, but when I got there, I was like, 'I have to buys this.'"
