Surely many hairs stand on end knowing the ridiculous amount of money that a famous streamer can get on platforms like Twitch just by playing games like Fortnite or PlayerUnknown's.

For Ninja, this 2018 has been the most successful year of all he has had, in addition he has finished it in style with a new year event broadcasting live from Times Square in New York. We remember that this streamer began in this world in 2011, first broadcasting on Justin.tv and currently doing it on Twitch.tv.

Before this year-end event, Ninja spoke with numerous news channels, including CNN, and in this interview it was where the juicy amount of money was revealed, Ninja said that this 2018 he has earned about 10 million dollars thanks to YouTube and Twitch.

Fortnite the best ally of Ninja

This figure corroborates, and exceeds, the speculations made, which suggested streamer earnings of around $ 500, 000 per month. With the arrival of Fortnite to its channel in 2018, ninja considerably increased the rate of followers, which translates into these incredible numbers.

Already at the Ninja Vegas event in April, it set a new record for the platform of 667, 000 viewers on Twitch in a single broadcast. To this we must add that his YouTube channel bombed almost 10 million subscriptions. And it is that in the end of years event he rubbed shoulders with great personalities in the world and other celebrities such as Neymar Jr. or the Detroit Lion NFL players.

But all this does not only translate into profits for the American streamer, also the company Epic Games reported that the profit obtained this past year amounted to $ 3 billion in sales of cosmetics and other items in the Fortnite store, something that they will undoubtedly have to thank characters like Ninja who promote the game in the best possible way. We will see how this 2019 begins for Ninja and Fortnite, because even better figures are expected than those of this past year.
