Is Félix 'xQc' Lengyel the highest-paid GTA streamer on Twitch

As the table above shows, xQc is the second highest-paid streamer on Twitch, only second to CriticalRole. Although CriticalRole leads the charts, he doesn't stream GTA content, which puts xQc as the highest-paid GTA streamer on Twitch. xQc is known to stream GTA RP content on the well-known NoPixel server.

According to the leaks mentioned above, xQcOW made $752,467 in September 2021 alone. The report shows that the second highest paid streamer is summit1g who made $362,987 in 2021 and he is behind xQc by $400,000.

The chart above shows how much each streamer has made in the last couple of years, and xQc is second on this chart. xQc has made $8,454,427 between August 2019 to October 2021.

Summit1g is the second highest-paid GTA streamer who made $5,847,541 between August 2019 and October 2021. xQc made over $2 million more than summit1g.

Very little is known about who was responsible for this hack and leak, although it brought some interesting information to light as to which streamer made how much through Twitch alone. While only bigger streamers are at risk from these leaks, Twitch hasn't officially confirmed anything about the leak or the payouts.

Twitch, however, acknowledged there was "a breach," tweeting:

"We can confirm a breach has taken place. Our teams are working with urgency to understand the extent of this. We will update the community as soon as additional information is available. Thank you for bearing with us."
