About 12.5 million people follow Ninja on Twitch making him the most subscribed person on the platform. 40,000 of these followers pay while Ninja streams and donations can range anywhere between $5 and $25 per month for each user.

He earns via ad revenue on the website and last year’s video views ranged from 3 million to 38 million. On the sponsorship side of things, Ninja has partnered with Samsung, Uber Eats and Red Bull all which keeps the cash flow open.
