XQC is a Canadian YouTube and Twitch Streamer. Born Felix Lengyel, his streaming origins stem from Blizzard’s FPS game Overwatch. In 2018, he played for the Dallas Fuel team in the Overwatch League, playing a total of three Overwatch World Cups for the Canadian team in 2017, 2018, and 2019.
He originally began streaming in 2014, but only part-time, It wasn’t until 2019 that he decided to fully dedicate his time to his gaming and streaming career. However, even though Overwatch is his primary game, he also likes to occasionally stream other games as well, such as Minecraft, Fortnite, and GTA V.
He is one of the more popular streamers, which can be seen by the stats on his Twitch channel. Some more notable statistics are the following:
- 50,986 average viewers, with a decrease of 21.2% over the past 7 days;
- A total of 3,390 hours of content were watched by viewers;
- 13,536 followers gained over the last 7 days;
- Peak viewership of 69,781 over the last 7 days;
- 66 hours streamed in total;
As far as streamers go, XQC is quite active, with a good pace of content generation, and a great number of views. Now let’s dive deeper into some financial information, and see how it compares to his online activity.
Donations are Always Welcome
Recently, on February 1st, 2023, XQC received a mind-boggling donation from a fan, in the amount of $10,000. Even though XQC is by no means endangered financially, such a donation is welcome even for the wealthiest of streamers. So far, it’s the biggest donation the streamer has received so far.
Now let’s get to the meaty details. As of 2023, the Canadian streamer is approximately worth 10 million dollars. Even for rich streamers, that’s a nice sum of money, especially considering that between 2019 and 2021 he earned $8 million alone from YouTube.
When looking at his total monthly income, we can see that Twitch is not the sole source of his income. He also has brand deals and some ad revenue which along with Twitch, amounts to about 700.000 dollars every month.
Twitch Remains The Prime Source of Income
Still, Twitch remains his primary means of income, as over 80% of his monthly revenue is generated through the streaming platform alone. He is still quite young, born in Canada in 1995, and if he plays his cards right, might exponentially increase his net worth over the coming years.
Considering that at the beginning of his professional Overwatch career, he was banned twice for abusing the reporting system in-game, as well as for misbehavior. These actions can be career-ending for some streamers, but it seems that XQC emerged stronger from the whole mishap.
In 2018 and 2020 he was banned again, but he managed to retain, and increase his huge following, which is an astonishing feat despite his bans. Apart from Twitch, his secondary source of income can be found on YouTube. His annual income from the video streaming platform is around $1.4 million, and he was the most popular streamer in both 2020 and 2021.
