He is definitely a pro at playing Fortnite, but he also has a knack for holding audiences interest and keep their attention.

Record Breaker
His record-breaking stream last year was co-hosted with rapper Drake, raking in 667,000 live viewers. That, in turn, has led his YouTube channel, which largely hosts recorded streams from Twitch, to grow to 20 million subscribers.

So not only is Ninja earning semi-regular donations and subscriptions from Twitch viewers, but he’s also raking in the dough from YouTube’s ad revenue. And then there are the sponsorships from companies like Red Bull, Samsung, and more, not to mention the fact that he hosted this year’s major New Year’s Eve event in Times Square.
