"That's not millionaire money" - Twitch streamer FanFan reveals how much money she makes per year, viewers react
After FanFan revealed she makes $150,000 per year, she stated that her income was not comparable to "millionaire money." She then claimed that people look at the most popular streamers on a platform and assume that every content creator earns a lot of money.
She said:
"That's not a million. That's not millionaire money. And then, like, people see the top f**king, the top three streamers making, like, $35k on a sponsor and they just assume that everyone does that."
The Twitch streamer also disclosed that she is unable to secure a sponsorship for extended periods of time, and when she does, she is paid between $3,000 and $5,000:
"You know I didn't get sponsored for six months? And then, when I do get a sponsor, it's like $3k to $5k? I'm not saying it's bad. I'm really happy! I'm like really happy! I'm not saying it's bad! I'm not complaining."
She added:
"But then, like, I don't understand the other people who complain or say, like, I'm a millionaire. I don't think, most majority of streamers aren't millionaires."
As mentioned earlier, FanFan's clip was among the top posts on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit. With more than 505 community members sharing their thoughts, here are some pertinent responses:
Redditor u/gurilagarden stated that if a content creator averaged 500 concurrent viewers, they could earn a living. Meanwhile, user Hallucination_FIFA commented that $150,000 per year for a big Twitch streamer like FanFan "seemed on the low end."
