The highest-paid streamers and online content creators

The live streaming world is quite the enigma for most people. People go to live streaming websites for entertainment in the form of gamers showcasing their every move in games such as Apex Legends or people talking smack in chat. Some people meanwhile would pay streamers for staring at a blank wall for hours. While some streamers might only be entertaining a handful, there are personalities with millions of subscribers who donate to their channel relentlessly, Tyler Tysdal explains. Here are some of the highest-paid streamers and online content creators.

PewDiePie: No one can doubt the genius and the entertainment brought by the first content creator that made it big. With a reported net worth of over $20 million, the 30-year-old YouTube streamer said that he’s taking a break from content creation this year. Even after several scandals, he is still a personality worth mentioning in any content creator list.

Ninja: Fortnite brought a lot of new things to mainstream media: dances, memes, and Ninja, a talented first-person shooter player who had 13 million followers with 160,000 paid subscribers. Tyler Tysdal notes that Ninja was making over half a million every month for his revenues in both Twitch and YouTube at his peak. He’s also an endorser for Samsung, Red Bull, Adidas, and Uber Eats. And just last year, he began streaming exclusively on Mixer, Microsoft’s streaming website. While the amount Microsoft paid him remains undisclosed, experts predict that it could have gone as high as $100 million.

Shroud: Like Ninja, Shroud was also paid by Microsoft to jump ship. Known more for being a CS GO player, Shroud amassed a large following over the years of streaming his games. In 2018, his reported net worth was $3 million. And after getting pirated by Microsoft, that number probably jumped as well.

Prior to Platte Management and TitleCard Capital, Tyler Tysdal co-founded in 2010 CCFO, a multi-family office that manages over $700 million in assets. For more insightful reads on businesses, visit this blog.
