Paul recently started his weekly sports show BS w/ Jake Paul, where he hosts athletes across all major sports. In the latest episode, NBA superstar Tyler Herro made an appearance, and here’s what went down.
Jake Paul shocked at his crew member’s decision
The pair were discussing things they bought with their salaries, as Herro stated he bought a car for his mother. Paul then revealed that he once bought his crew member a Rolex watch worth $300,000. However, the crew member did not like the extravagant gift and preferred his own watch, which was worth $200. Paul felt that this was an insult to him.
“I bought Marcos here behind this camera, see over here a rollie too. He slapped me in the face one time basically with a very deep insult. I’m still b**t hurt about it. I bought him a $30000 Rolex and then he said that his favorite watch was this like $200 watch that he had,” said Paul.
He stated that he had never seen the crew member wear the watch and cheekily claimed that he needed therapy because of this. “I’ve never seen Marcos wear it, but it’s cool no I see a therapist once a week so,” he added.
Paul’s girlfriend revealed that the watch was a G-shock. However, Paul couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that his crew member would reject a $300,000 watch.
The awkward reality of Paul’s watch collection
It is no secret that Paul likes to flex his expensive jewelry and watches. His collection includes works from some of the most renowned watchmakers in the world, including Rolex and Richard Mille. However, The Problem Child was once called out for flaunting a fake watch on social media.

Back in 2021, he posted a photo of him with a Richard Mille RM055 Bubba Watson, which is reported to be worth $520,000. However, the watch turned out to be fake as an Instagram page called “FakeWatchBuster” pointed out the disparities in the watch.
They claimed that the watch had several features, including the thickness and shape of the case that differed from the real one. It is unclear whether Paul knew if the watch was fake and if that was the case, he paid a hefty sum for a replica.
