“After connecting with Ninja in the wake of the livestreamed reading, I got a chance to speak with him about the unprecedented success he’s had on Twitch, and the game that got him there, Fortnite. While this will increase by the time you read this, Ninja currently has 160,000 Twitch subscribers, 3 million Twitch followers and a 70,000 viewer average, but he’s starting to top 100K at times. While the full scope income remains under wraps, I’ve managed to confirm that my initial estimate of his subscription revenue was low, and in reality, 160,000 subscribers at a higher $3.50 rate per sub means he’s pulling in $560,000 a month from that revenue stream alone. Not counting Twitch bits. Not counting donations. Not counting 4 million YouTube subscribers.”
