15 Wealthiest Twitch Streamers
By Nathan Fusco
Trying to quantify wealth for Twitch streamers can be difficult as there are multiple ways of revenue for streamers. It can all depend on the average viewer when ads roll, the percent of the subscription, donations, and content or sponsorship deals.
To make things simple and as most of this information isn't public, we'll go off of monthly subscriptions and a flat $2.50 per Tier 1, $5.00 per Tier 2, and $12.50 for Tier 3. We know that some streamers make more and others make less of a cut, but that information isn't public knowledge.

He was one of the few that left PUBG early and started playing Fortnite, but he eventually grew bored and wanted to play other games.

The hottest streamer of 2018 is looking to keep that trend rolling into 2019, despite the sudden rise of Summit1g as he plays Sea of Thieves, Ninja has retaken the number one spot with the most subscriptions of 44,803.
These numbers can fluctuate every day and even Summit1g has the most subscriptions for a couple of days before Ninja took over again. Despite making Twitch streaming mainstream, Ninja has had deals with multiple juggernauts in the commercial universe like Samsung and Doritos.
Besides the most subscriptions, followers, and YouTube count of any Twitch streamer, Ninja easily makes the most from content and sponsorship deals.
