Logan Paul is still in Puerto Rico. If you thought the move was just a fleeting mid-pandemic trend or a temporary stunt to escape LA’s high-energy madness, you’d be mistaken. He’s dug in. Deep.
While many of the "crypto bros" who flooded the island during the 2021 gold rush have since packed their bags and headed back to Miami or Austin, the elder Paul brother has doubled down. He’s not just renting a beach house; he’s basically building a kingdom.

The $32.5 Million Upgrade
In late 2025, Logan did something that caught the real estate world off guard. He put his original Dorado mansion—the one he’d lived in since moving to the island—on the market for $14 million. For a minute, the internet whispered that he was leaving.
He wasn't. He was just bored of the "starter" mansion.
Basically, he moved down the street. He dropped a staggering $32.5 million on an ultra-luxury estate in the same Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton Reserve enclave. It’s a massive jump. We’re talking about a compound with an elevator, a theater room that looks like a small cinema, and enough garage space for a fleet of supercars.
His brother, Jake Paul, still keeps his $15.7 million "Taj MaPaul" nearby, but Logan’s new spot has clearly established him as the bigger real estate player on the island. Honestly, when you’re co-founding a company like PRIME Hydration—which has seen valuations north of $5 billion—a $30 million house is just a line item on a spreadsheet.
Why Puerto Rico? It’s Not Just the Surf
Let’s be real: nobody moves their entire life to Dorado just because they like the tropical breeze. The core of the Logan Paul Puerto Rico saga is a piece of legislation known as Act 60 (formerly Act 22).
For someone making high-eight or nine-figure sums, California is a tax nightmare. By becoming a "bona fide" resident of Puerto Rico, Logan effectively slashed his tax bill to near zero on capital gains.
- 0% Federal Income Tax on PR-sourced income.
- 0% Capital Gains Tax for those who hold the proper decree.
- 4% Corporate Tax for export services.
To keep these perks in 2026, he has to play by the rules. He must spend at least 183 days a year on the island. He has to donate $10,000 annually to local nonprofits. He has to own a home. For Logan, these aren't hurdles; they're the cost of doing business. It’s estimated that this move saves him over $10 million every single year.
Think about that. In the five years he’s been there, he’s effectively "earned" $50 million just by changing his zip code.
The Local Friction Nobody Talks About
It hasn't all been piña coladas and sunset vlogs. There is a palpable tension between the wealthy "Act 60" arrivals and the local population.
You’ve likely seen the headlines. Protests with signs saying "Gringo Go Home" aren't just for show. Locals are frustrated because the influx of ultra-wealthy influencers has sent property values through the roof. In places like Dorado and Rincón, the average Puerto Rican family has been priced out of their own neighborhoods.
Then there’s the Bad Bunny beef.
The Puerto Rican superstar released a documentary-style music video for "El Apagón" that explicitly called out the gentrification caused by people like Logan. Logan didn't take it lying down. He went on the Philip DeFranco Show and accused Bad Bunny of being a hypocrite, claiming the singer also takes advantage of the same tax breaks.
It was a messy public spat. Most locals sided with Bad Bunny, viewing Logan as a "colonizer" who uses the island’s resources without truly integrating into the culture. Logan’s response? He doubled down on his donations and insisted he’s bringing jobs and eyes to the island.
Business from the Beach
Despite the controversy, Puerto Rico has become the command center for the Paul empire. PRIME Hydration, his WWE prep, and the Impaulsive podcast are all run, at least partially, from his Dorado compound.
- PRIME Evolution: While the beverage is a global monster, the strategic meetings often happen in that $32.5 million living room.
- WWE Training: Logan frequently flies in rings and trainers to his PR compound to stay in "Maverick" shape for his matches against legends like John Cena.
- The CryptoZoo Shadow: It’s worth noting that while he’s living in paradise, the legal ghosts of CryptoZoo still haunt him. Even in 2026, the refund process for his failed NFT project remains a point of contention. Some lawsuits were dismissed as "puffery," but the reputational dent remains.
What This Means for You
If you’re looking at Logan Paul as a blueprint for relocation, there are some hard truths to face. You don't need $32.5 million to move to Puerto Rico, but you do need a clear plan.
Understand the Residency Requirements
The IRS is getting aggressive. They are actively auditing Act 60 beneficiaries to ensure they are actually living on the island. You can’t just rent an Airbnb and claim the tax break. You need "closer connection" ties—voter registration, local bank accounts, and a primary physical presence.
Respect the Culture
The biggest mistake mainlanders make is treated Puerto Rico like a tax-free playground. If you move there, engage with the community. Support local businesses that aren't inside the gated walls of Dorado Beach. The "Gringo Go Home" sentiment stems from a feeling of being erased.

Expect Infrastructure Issues
Logan doesn't talk about it much, but the power grid (LUMA) is notoriously unreliable. Even with millions in the bank, you’ll need a massive industrial generator and Tesla Powerwalls to survive the frequent blackouts that plague the island.
Logan Paul isn't leaving Puerto Rico anytime soon. He’s transitioned from a "visitor" to a permanent fixture of the island’s elite tier. Whether he ever wins over the hearts of the local population is still up in the air, but as far as his bank account and his lifestyle are concerned, the Puerto Rico move was the most successful "win" of his career.
Next Steps for Future Residents
- Consult a Tax Attorney: Do not try to DIY an Act 60 application. The compliance rules are shifting in 2026, especially regarding capital gains for new applicants.
- Visit Beyond Dorado: Before committing to a $15M+ estate, spend time in San Juan or the west coast to see if the island's pace actually fits your life.
- Audit Your "Bona Fide" Status: Ensure your principal place of business can legally be "exported" from the island to qualify for the 4% corporate rate.
