The highest-earning streamers on Twitch, YouTube and Instagram
Across the top 30 Twitch accounts (which included 3 alt accounts of streamers within the same ranking), the lowest estimated yearly earnings was still a comfortable wage of £20,952 for Minecraft streamer Philza – but many were earning over £100,000 annually, particularly when one considers possible Instagram and YouTube earnings as well. At the top of the rankings for potential earnings, auronplay again saw a victory, with an estimated total of £3,861,247 each year, while Rubius and loud_coringa followed with £2,832,336 and £1,042,122 respectively. Much of this could potentially come from Instagram, where sponsored posts could be bringing in as much as 90% of earnings for players like Rubius. While it’s likely that they aren’t pulling in as many as this, their potential earnings represent the value of their account based on their followers and the engagement with their posts.
