The recent hack of Twitch has revealed, among other data, the income obtained by some of the most popular streamers on the platform during a specific period of time. The information package, which has been published in a 4chan forum through a Torrent of more than 120 GB in weight, has not taken long to reach users, who have made a list of the highest paid streamers. Among them are well-known names, such as Ibai, Auronplay or El Rubius.
According to the charts, Auronplay is ranked No. 9 among the highest-earning streamers on Twitch, with a total of $ 3,053,341.54 earned from August 2019 to October 2021 . That is, for two years. Ibai is No. 18 on the list, with revenues of $ 2.31 million from August two years ago to the present. The Rubius can be found at No. 35, with a profit of $ 1.76 million over the past two years thanks to Twitch.
In the ranking you can also read names of other Spanish streamers, such as TheGrefg, with 1,286,765 dollars in revenue or Alexelcapo, with 911,427.22 dollars obtained during the mentioned period. We must bear in mind that the figures that are reflected are gross (without taking into account taxes).
It is also unknown if the income obtained from the donations of the followers is counted. Still, the numbers are staggering. For example, AuronPlay has made more than $ 120,000 a month for the past two years with Twitch.
