Richard Tyler Blevins, better known as Ninja, is a 30 years old American Twitch streamer. He is by far the most-followed streamer on Twitch with an insane 17 million follower mark. A former Halo pro gained so much popularity on Twitch by playing Fortnite. But Ninja plays a variety of big titles nowadays. In August 2019, He signed a $50 million exclusivity deal with the now-closed Mixer and returned to Twitch after 1 year.

Though Ninja has a huge fanbase, he is not even on the top 25 most earning Twitch streamers. Currently, he has 6000+ subscribers as of November 2021. Ninja has almost double the followers of second place, so he isn’t losing his crown anytime soon.

Now let’s talk about some interesting things. Ninja is the number one Twitch streamer, but he was not even in the top 25 most earning streamers from August 2019 to October 2021. It is maybe because he is not much active nowadays.

Also, streamers can earn much without a big follower base. CriticalRole Earned 9,626,712.16 directly from Twitch, according to the data breach. He has only 985K followers and had 139,559 all-time high subscribers in this November 2021.

Once streamers thought they had to talk in English to reach a mass audience, but Spanish streamers proved it wrong. Rubius and auronplay both are from Spain and they have more than 10 million followers.

Back in June 2020, Twitch banned Dr Disrespect. At that time, he had 4.45 million Streamers. He was a big contender for this list, but now he won’t even make it to the top 20. Dr Disrespect now streams on Youtube and is very successful there, but his revenue dropped.
