Jake Paul has spent $39M for a massive Georgia ranch — ‘I wanted a place where I can wakesurf, hunt and build a racetrack'
Jake Paul, the YouTube star-turned-prizefighter, has just picked up a sprawling piece of Southern sporting history. The 27-year-old paid $39 million for a roughly 5,653-acre ranch in Georgia's Decatur County known as Southlands, in what brokers say is one of the largest recreational land deals in the state's history, according to a press release. The property, which came to market in October for $42.5 million, hadn't been publicly offered for nearly 90 years.

Jon Kohlr & Associates 16 Paul said on 'The Iced Coffee Hour' podcast that he used his earnings — roughly $30 million — from his 2024 match against Mike Tyson to buy the ranch, fulfilling a longtime dream. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Paul discussed the purchase earlier this month on 'The Iced Coffee Hour' podcast, revealing he used the bulk of his roughly $30 million earnings from his 2024 boxing match against heavyweight legend Mike Tyson to fund the acquisition.

Set roughly 8 miles from Bainbridge, the plantation is a rare find in Georgia's quail belt. 16 'I've wanted to buy a ranch for the last 15 years,' he said, citing plans to wakesurf, hunt, build a racetrack and grow vegetables.

Probe accuses ex J-pop star Nakai of sexual assault
An independent panel investigating allegations against an J-pop megastar-turned-TV host accused him on Monday of sexual violence against a Fuji Televsision employee, saying the company's handling of the matter amounted to harassment of the employee. A leading Japanese tabloid magazine reported in December that Fuji TV's celebrity presenter Masahiro Nakai had performed a sexual act without a woman's consent. The accusations led to Nakai being dropped from his shows on multiple networks as well as a mass exit of advertisers from Fuji TV and the resignation of the private channel's bosses. No legal charges have been brought against Nakai, but an independent probe commissioned by Fuji TV to discern what happened reported its findings on Monday. "We concluded that the woman was sexually assaulted by Nakai," lawyer Akira Takeuchi, who heads the panel, told reporters. "We also think what happened was not a private matter between two people, but an extension of work," Takeuchi added. The 52-year-old Nakai, who was interviewed during the probe, reportedly paid the woman 90 million yen ($570,000) over the incident in 2023, and the pair signed a non-disclosure agreement. Nakai -- a former member of the boy band SMAP, which swept charts across Asia in the 1990s and 2000s -- announced his retirement from showbusiness in late January. "I alone am responsible for everything" and "sincerely apologise", he said at the time. He had previously issued a statement saying some of what had been reported was "different from the facts". The panel's 300-page report also said that Fuji TV's handling of the case appeared to be in favour of the superstar and amounted to secondary harassement of the employee. The woman left the company last year after being temporarily hospitalised, the report said. It criticised what it described as the practice of Fuji TV to organise social gatherings to which people are invited based on their gender, age and appearance -- namely young female presenters and staff. "We sincerely apologise to the victim women for the distress they have experienced as a result of the company's inadequate relief measures," President Kenji Shimizu told a news conference on Monday after the probe results. Shimizu also noted that the woman's "supervisors, from the director to the then president, did not regard it as a human rights issue". Takeuchi said "Fuji TV didn't learn from two incidents" -- the suicide of a participant from the "Terrace House" reality TV show, and multiple accusations of sexual assault levied at the late founder of the boy band management empire Johnny & Associates. Johnny & Associates, which has since changed its name, admitted in 2023 that its late founder Johnny Kitagawa had sexually assaulted teenage boys and young men for decades. nf/kaf/dhw
