Logan Paul.

Born on April 1, 1995 in Westlake, Ohio, to Greg Paul, Logan Alexander Paul grew up alongside his younger brother Jake Paul, now also a prominent internet personality. Paul attended Westlake High School where he began creating content, and later enrolled at Ohio University. His early exposure to the internet led him to the app Vine, where he built a large following by filming comedy sketches.

Paul’s career exploded on Vine where he amassed millions of followers, then transitioned to YouTube. In 2016 he starred in the thriller The Thinning. With his roommate in Brazil, he created the Olympic dab video which got over 60 million views in 7 days before being removed for copyright issues. He collaborated with Kevin Hart and Marshmello on a video. Backlash erupted in January 2018 after Paul uploaded a video from Aokigahara forest in Japan showing the body of a suicide victim; he removed it and apologized. He continued acting, writing and producing Airplane Mode 2019. Paul also ventured into WWE, appearing on Friday Night SmackDown and Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Paul announced his engagement to Danish model Nina Agdal on July 1, 2023 after a year of dating. In October 2017, he bought his first house for $6,550,000 after moving out of his Hollywood apartment. He is the older brother of fellow YouTuber Jake Paul. He counts Andrew Bachelor and Amanda Cerny as close personal friends, often appearing in each other’s videos.

Logan Paul’s legacy is defined by his vast online reach—over 60 million views on the Olympic dab video—and his ability to weather major controversies. He inspired a generation of creators on Vine and YouTube, and his transition to mainstream media and WWE SmackDown marked a rare crossover. Despite the backlash from the 2018 Aokigahara incident, Paul’s engagement to model Nina Agdal in 2023 showed his personal life stabilization. He is most remembered for pushing the boundaries of influencer content and his prolific social media output.
