The towering worth of PRIME Hydration
Embarking on a remarkable journey, Prime Hydration, has quickly ascended to astonishing financial heights. Initially, Mams Taylor, KSI’s manager, revealed a staggering valuation of £8-10 billion for the brand. “I’d say it’s about £8 to 10 billion,” he said. This revelation, coming less than two years after its launch, underscores a rapid climb in the competitive beverage market.

Further bolstering this valuation, Logan Paul disclosed in an interview on Fox Business’ Varney & Co that, “You know what we did this year? In internal revenue? $1.2 billion.” They generated a whopping $1.2 billion in revenue just in its second year. Such impressive figures not only highlight the brand’s commercial success but also its potential for future growth. Moreover, these numbers speak volumes about the power of celebrity influence in modern business, demonstrating how digital fame can translate into tangible, multi-billion-dollar success.
The company has ties to Congo Brands, co-owned by American entrepreneurs Max Clemons and Trey Steiger. Despite not having a controlling stake, the duo’s influence and millions of YouTube subscribers have significantly contributed to Prime’s skyrocketing valuation and sales.
Both founders exhibit an ardent commitment to reinvesting and fortifying the brand for enduring triumph. When compared with celebrity-endorsed libations such as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s ZOA, which witnessed formidable expansion, amassing sales close to $3.4 million in merely a month preceding Prime’s debut, the strategic foresight of Prime’s founders becomes evident.
Now that we have established PRIME’s growing influence, let’s see who all have signed under them.
Prime’s star-studded sponsorship roster
The impressive and varied sponsorship portfolio of Prime Hydration features a wide range of elite sports associations and athletes. First, let’s talk about football. Prime has signed agreements with major league teams like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Arsenal. Through these alliances, Prime is positioned alongside football teams with illustrious histories and sizable fan bases on the international scene.

In the sphere of U.S. athletics, the LA Dodgers emerge as a quintessential partner. This alliance with one of baseball’s most storied franchises underscores Prime’s expansive influence across diverse sporting realms. Furthermore, within the boxing domain, Prime takes pride in associations with Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson, illustrious pugilists renowned for their tenacity and exemplary prowess, thereby enhancing the brand’s stature.
The brand’s relationship with the UFC is particularly noteworthy. As the prime sponsor of UFC, Prime aligns itself with the premier organization in mixed martial arts. This is further emphasized by its ties to UFC champions Alex Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya, enhancing its presence in the combat sports community.
Soccer’s reach is further extended with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Aston Villa Women’s Alisha Lehmann, bringing the brand into the fast-paced world of European football. In the hockey arena, the Maple Leafs’ star Auston Matthews represents another high-profile athlete in Prime’s diverse portfolio.
