Streamer asserts self as highest earner in the streaming industry
Hey there! It appears Trainwreck, a popular Kick personality, has cracked quite a claim — he's shouting out that he's the top-earning streamer on the planet. He even hints at being able to show some numbers to back up his bold boast. 34-year-old Trainwreck claims that despite some streamers being bigger in terms of followers, none have better deals than him.
Eddie Craven, co-founder of Stake, is said to have access to the stats that would confirm Trainwreck's reign as the undisputed streaming king. Trainwreck's relationship with Stake is nothing new, having been a long-time affiliate for the gambling site.
While the exact figures for Trainwreck's streaming income remain a mystery, he did drop a bombshell back in October 2022, stating he'd made a whopping $360 million over the previous 16 months from promoting gambling on stream.
However, it's important to note that despite Trainwreck's assertions, there's no concrete evidence in the public realm to support his claim of global streaming supremacy. It's interesting to compare him with other high-earning streamers like xQc, who pulled in an impressive $752,000 from Twitch payouts alone in September[1].
Roshtein, another prominent gambling streamer on Kick, is known for earning a significant chunk of change, but isn't mentioned as the globe's highest-paid[4]. The growth and investments in streamer infrastructure by Kick could potentially boost earnings for its personalities[5]. So, while Trainwreck might be raking it in, the claim of being the highest-paid globally remains unproven based on the data available. Just food for thought!
