Actor and social media star Jake Paul (pictured in August at the Teen Choice Awards) purchased a plush Calabasas pad for $6.925million
Actor and social media star Jake Paul purchased a plush Calabasas pad just months after a blowout dispute with ex-neighbors over his disruptive lifestyle.
The 20-year-old, known for role as Dirk on Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark, as well as his outlandish YouTube stunts, dropped a whopping $6.925million on the 15,000-square-foot property that spreads 3.5 acres in the Encino neighborhood.
The lavish three story abode offers ‘a spiral staircase, Italian tile and hardwood, two pillars frame the living room, a fireplace, floor-to-ceiling picture windows, arched doorways’ and extensive kitchen and dining space, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The home also includes several other noteworthy amenities such as a beautiful pool, spa, theater room, office and gymnasium.
It’s possible the influencer was inspired to buy the home from his older brother, Logan, who purchased a mansion in the same neighborhood back in the summer.
Old Town Calabasas has been home to several other notable names like Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Tamar Braxton, Kendra Wilkinson and the Kardashians.
The change in space comes after Paul was accused by West Hollywood residents back in July of turning their once peaceful neighborhood into a ‘war zone’.

Residents revealed at the time details of his ‘crazy’ pranks which have included throwing a Harley Davidson in his backyard pool and setting furniture on fire.
He and his ‘squad’ also loved to throw rowdy parties, while he often publicized his address which allowed hoards of his young fans – he calls ‘Paulers’ to show up outside his home.
While his roughly 11 million young followers may have been impressed with his antics, his neighbors were not.
Families in the LA neighborhood accused Paul of turning their lives into a ‘living hell’.

‘It used to be a really nice, quiet street and now [it’s] just this, like, war zone,’ Maytal Dahan told KTLA at the time.
‘We’re families here and we’re more than happy to have them live here if they’re respectful of their neighbors, but they’re not.’
Neighbors even considered banding together to file a class-action public nuisance lawsuit against Paul and the homeowner. They say not only was Paul a nuisance but also dangerous.
His fire stunt, when he set ablaze furniture in his pool, saw flames reach the height of the home.
Meanwhile, Paul seemed amused by the misery he is imposed on those around him.
‘The neighbors hate me,’ he told KTLA, while laughing in a statement.

When the reporter told him that locals feared he turned the neighborhood into a ‘circus’ with his non-stop parties and dangerous stunts, the millennial replied: ‘But, I mean, people like going to circuses.’
Paul was further seen running and skipping through the streets before climbing on top of the KTLA van – ignoring the pleas of staffers to stop.
Eventually, Paul, who appears to be challenged in the attention span department, returned to the interview, where he was able to compose himself for a second to say: ‘It’s terrible, it’s a bad situation and I feel bad for them, but there’s nothing we can do.
‘Jake Paulers are the strongest army out there.
‘Dab,’ he added, pulling the 2016 cliched dance move, before pointing at the reporter’s shoes, and screeching, ‘What are those?’ before running away with his friends.
Earlier this year, Paul landed himself in trouble after he hid in the bathroom of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building after attending a Social Media Event at the White House (pictured, left, on July 8 at a charity basketball game). He is also the brother of internet star Logan Paul (seen together, right)
He since took to taunting his neighbors on Twitter, posting footage of his KTLA interview with a laughing emoji, and the caption, ‘I’m dead’
He also released ‘rap’ song, ‘It’s Everyday Bro,’ which became the tenth most disliked video in YouTube history

In Paul’s YouTube bio, he described himself as living ‘a crazy life’ ‘making comedy vids, acting, doing action sports, & going on crazy adventures’ with his squad ‘Team 10’.
The Ohio-born social media personality released a laughably bad ‘rap’ song, It’s Everyday Bro,’ which became the tenth most disliked video in YouTube history.
Earlier this year, Paul landed himself in trouble after he filmed himself hiding in the bathroom of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building after attending a Social Media Event at the White House.
Although he claimed he spent several hours there before leaving in the early morning, sources confirm the video was fake and actually just filmed during the event.
After he posted footage of the stunt on his blog, he was visited by the Secret Service at home.
In June, Paul was accused of emotionally abusing his ex-girlfriend Alissa Violet who also claimed he used his agency Team 10 to take advantage of women. He has since denied the claims.
His brother, Logan, is also a YouTube star. Logan caused his own commotion in Manhattan on July 15 when his fans shut down an entire street.
They had rushed to the area after he set up a pop-up shop for the day. He took to Twitter afterwards to thank the NYPD for ‘keeping my fans safe’.
