Jake and Logan Paul's homes in Dorado have drawn attention well beyond Puerto Rico. The public record of their moves is clearer than the investment story often attached to them: Jake's reported purchase dates to 2023, while Logan announced a second, more expensive Dorado home in 2025. Here is what those purchases tell us in 2026—and what buyers still need to verify for themselves.
Key Takeaways
- Jake Paul reportedly bought a Dorado Beach East home from Yadier Molina for about $15.75 million in 2023.
- Logan Paul announced a $32.5 million Dorado purchase in September 2025; his earlier home had been listed for sale.
- Public purchase reports do not establish either brother's current title, resale proceeds, or return on investment in 2026.
- Dorado's resort amenities can appeal to buyers, but trophy-home sales are not reliable price benchmarks for every property.
- Buying a home does not, by itself, qualify anyone for Puerto Rico's Act 60 tax incentives.
Where Do Jake and Logan Paul Live in Puerto Rico? What Is Known in 2026
Both brothers have publicly connected their homes to Dorado, west of San Juan. The latest documented milestones are purchases and a listing, not a verified 2026 ownership or profit statement.
Jake Paul's Dorado Purchase
Local reporting in 2023 placed Jake Paul's purchase from former baseball player Yadier Molina at approximately $15.75 million in Dorado Beach East. His public home tour offers a look at the property at that time. Neither that tour nor the original sale price is evidence of its current market value.
Logan Paul's Dorado Upgrade
In September 2025, Logan Paul announced a new home purchase for $32.5 million. El Nuevo Día reported that his earlier Dorado home had been listed for $14 million. A listing is not a completed sale, so the article does not assume that the earlier property sold or that the newer purchase earned a return.
What the Paul Brothers' Purchases Do—and Do Not—Show
Their purchases show that two prominent buyers chose high-end homes in Dorado at different times. They do not prove a shared investment strategy, a particular tax outcome, or a broader market trend on their own.
Jake Paul's Puerto Rico Home
Jake's tour gives viewers a sense of the home's scale and amenities. Anyone comparing a similar property should focus on verified condition, community rules, carrying costs, and recent comparable sales—not an estimate based on a celebrity video.
Logan Paul's Puerto Rico Home
Logan's 2025 video documents the home he said he bought and why it suited his family. It does not establish how either of his Dorado properties is titled today, whether the earlier home sold, or how either property has performed financially.
What Buyers Can Learn Without Copying a Celebrity
Privacy, amenities, and proximity to San Juan may matter to a buyer, but each home has its own costs and restrictions. For a prospective rental property, check community rules and realistic operating expenses before relying on projections; our luxury vacation rental guide offers additional context.
Dorado Beach: What Buyers Should Evaluate

Dorado Beach combines private residential communities with resort, beach, and golf amenities. Those features help explain its appeal, but they do not make every home equally valuable or easy to resell.
Resort Amenities and Community Rules
The nearby Ritz-Carlton Reserve and Dorado Beach golf facilities are part of the area's appeal. Access depends on the specific property, membership, and community rules; buyers should confirm what is actually included rather than assuming every home has the same privileges.
How to Interpret Trophy-Home Prices
Reported sales include a $20 million transaction in 2024 and the $40 million Dorado Beach villa reported in 2022. These are notable individual sales, not an appreciation index or a substitute for recent comparable properties. A high asking price is different from a closed sale.
Act 60 Rules Buyers Need to Know in 2026
Puerto Rico's tax incentives often appear in coverage of celebrity relocations, but there is no basis here to describe either brother's individual tax arrangements. A home purchase alone does not establish eligibility.
Bona Fide Residency Is More Than a Day Count
The IRS residency guidance describes a presence test, a tax-home test, and a closer-connection test for bona fide residence in Puerto Rico. Spending 183 days on the island can satisfy one presence-test route, but it is not the entire analysis. Income sourcing and the year of a move also matter.
What Changed Under Act 38-2026
Puerto Rico's Act 38-2026 changed the rules for future Individual Resident Investor applications and extended the program through 2055. Applications filed from January 1, 2027, face a 4% rate on specified eligible investment income, rather than the previous 0% treatment; the law also adds a prior-nonresidency requirement. Existing decrees and other Act 60 programs should not be assumed to have identical terms. Our Act 60 changes guide explains the buyer-facing context.
Tax consequences depend on individual facts and decree terms. Consult Puerto Rico and U.S. tax advisers before making a relocation or purchase decision.
How to Assess a Dorado Investment Today
The Paul brothers' reported purchase prices are eye-catching, but they cannot tell a buyer what a different home will sell or rent for in 2026. We removed older appreciation, days-on-market, and rental-yield figures that lacked a reliable current source.
Compare Like With Like
Request recent closed-sale comparables in the same community, then adjust for lot size, water access, condition, renovations, and included memberships. Separate an asking price from a completed transaction, and allow for longer marketing periods in the small trophy-home segment.
Check the Total Cost and Use Restrictions
Review insurance and storm exposure, property taxes, association fees, maintenance, financing, and any planned capital work. If rental income is part of the plan, verify permitted use and build a conservative net-income model after vacancies, management, and operating costs. An experienced local team and qualified legal and tax advisers can help test the assumptions before closing.

Conclusion
Jake Paul's 2023 Dorado purchase and Logan Paul's reported 2025 upgrade are the most useful documented milestones for understanding this story in 2026. They show interest in Dorado's high-end housing, but they do not verify a current ownership position, resale gain, or shared tax strategy. Buyers should evaluate a property on its own merits, with current comparables, carrying costs, use rules, and professional advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Does Jake Paul Live in Puerto Rico?
Jake publicly shared a Dorado Beach East home after his reported 2023 purchase. This article does not claim to verify his exact residence or title status in 2026.
Where Does Logan Paul Live in Puerto Rico?
Logan announced a new Dorado home in September 2025 after his earlier home was listed. Public reporting reviewed for this update does not establish the final sale status of the earlier property or verify his current title to either home.
Did the Paul Brothers Profit From Their Puerto Rico Homes?
No reliable public figures reviewed here establish purchase-to-sale returns for either brother. A purchase price, asking price, renovation estimate, or home tour is not a realized gain.
Does Buying a Puerto Rico Home Qualify Someone for Act 60?
No. Eligibility depends on the relevant decree and tax rules, including bona fide residency and income sourcing. Puerto Rico's 2026 legislation changed terms for future Resident Investor applicants, so individual tax advice is essential.
Is Dorado a Good Place to Buy a Luxury Home?
It may suit buyers who value its residential communities and resort-area amenities. The right decision depends on the specific property's price, condition, access rights, costs, and intended use—not celebrity ownership nearby.
