Félix Lengyel, commonly known as xQc, recently came under fire from his fans for buying an Audemars Piguet watch worth around $330,000. The Canadian streamer showed off his purchase on Twitter and Twitch. He uploaded a picture of his wrist with the watch on, saying he was happy to have something that he had been wanting for a while, even as he rarely got himself something.
While the 27-year-old might be splurging after his 100 million dollar deal with the streaming platform Kick, the purchase just didn't sit well with his fans, with one of them replying to his Twitter post with:
"If you spend that much on the watch, spend extra on security every time you wear it out 🙏"
