The streamer also said he loses \u201ctens of thousands of dollars\u201d when he\u2019s not streaming, and that he earns \u201ca lot more\u201d than $500,000 \u201con a good month.\u201d Ninja\u2019s interview was published on Dec. 31, which makes these values the most accurate to assess the streamer\u2019s financial success in 2018. Related: The most popular individual streamers on Twitch in 2018. Ninja said most of the revenue he gets from streaming comes from ads, like the ones he rolls or the brands he shows on screen when he\u2019s live playing the game. His monthly revenue also takes Twitch subscriptions into account, which vary between $4.99 to $24.99 per subscriber depending on how much each one chooses to pay every month. Ninja is used to working in quantities of 10 million at this point. He became the first Twitch streamer to reach that number of followers in the platform in early August 2018, and has since amassed 2.8 million more. He also has 20 million YouTube subscribers and said he has 60,000 Twitch subscribers in a recent video for Wired. Ninja\u2019s earnings are a consequence of his ever-increasing popularity. He streamed Fortnite in Times Square for the ball drop on New Year\u2019s eve, went to several TV shows in the second half of 2018, and shattered a Twitch concurrent viewers record on an individual channel when streaming with rapper Drake. Ninja refrained from detailing how much he makes from every source of revenue he has today, but he said he has to be constantly streaming to avoid losing viewers, subscribers, and money as a consequence. He told CNN he streamed nearly 4,000 hours of Fortnite in 2018. Ninja\u2019s earnings and popularity are still dependent on Fortnite\u2019s popularity since it\u2019s the only game he\u2019s been streaming. Regardless of what the future holds for Ninja, he\u2019s one of the most financially successful Twitch streamers of 2018.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/12142650\/Ninjastreamroom.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83350"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/858"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83350"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=83350"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=83350"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=83350"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=83350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
