xQc, also known as xQcOW is a retired Overwatch professional turned full-time streamer. He streams variety and is considered by many to be the biggest streamer on the planet.

Lengyel streams to an average of 80 thousand viewers whenever he goes live. He is known for streaming 9+ hours per day, every day.

xQc consistently ranks among the top 5 most subbed streamers on Twitch and in a 2021 Twitch Leak was revealed to be the 2nd highest paid streamer on Twitch.

In June 2023, xQc signed a $100 million dollar contract with Kick, an upcoming streaming platform that rivals Twitch (and looks exactly like Twitch).

💰 How does xQc make money?

Here’s a little run-down of how Felix makes money:

Kick Contract

As everyone on this planet already knows (including those who have never heard of streaming) xQc signed a whopping $100 million contract with Kick, a streaming platform that rivals Twitch.

So we can easily slap that $100 million dollar onto his net worth, right? Well, it’s not that simple. Most likely, Kick didn’t actually deposit $100 million into Felix’s bank account just like that.

Instead, as industry professional Devin Nash describes it in his video, xQc likely received a signing bonus ($10-15 million) and is paid an hourly wage for streaming on Kick. Nash calculated that if he streams on Kick as much as he did on Twitch last year, he would make $70 million dollars over the 2-year contract, being paid $10k per hour to stream on Twitch.

The rest of the $100 million is likely going to be paid in incentives, Nash said.

Kick Earnings

As a Contracted Kick Streamer xQc makes money from subscriptions, Advertisements, and Donations.

💰 Subscriptions

xQc keeps $4.75 per subscriber he gets on Kick. Because Kick streamers have a 95/5 split. This is a lot better than his contract with Twitch for which he only kept $2.50 per subscriber once he reached above $100k earnings. (Twitch has a 50/50 split)

💰 Advertisements

xQc can also make money from advertisements on Kick. Although, I haven’t yet seen an advertisement on his streams. So it’s possible he turned it off completely because he makes enough money from streaming on Kick and subscribers on the platform.

💰 Donations

And finally, xQc will also receive donations from fans. Donations that are over $5 are read on stream using Text-to-speech.

Kick earnings are revealed later in this article.

His main channel (xQc) is the most active where he posts stream highlights about 3 times per day. Each video gets nearly 200k views within just a day of being live.

Streamers make money on YouTube through advertisements. On average a YouTube video can earn about $2 – $4 per 1000 views.

Sponsorships & Brand deals

Streamers often get paid by brands to promote products (apparel, peripherals, drinks, video games, etc).

xQc has a sponsorship with G-FUEL. He likely receives a commission whenever someone purchases his product ‘the juice’ G-FUEL or uses his discount code as well as a sponsorship salary.

How much does xQc make from Sponsorships and Brand Deals?

Sponsorships can be a very good earner for streamers but are hard to estimate due to lack of sources which is why we never include them in our estimations of streamers’ total monthly income.

That being said, we estimate that xQc makes roughly $50k per month from brand deals.

$9,750 from Chess
$9,995.92 from Overwatch

Merch Sales

xQc previously had merch available through a metathreads shop. MetaThreads is a merch provider that works with big influencers and esports organizations.

However, this partnership seems to have ended as the shop is empty. As far as we know, xQc currently doesn’t sell any merch.

Any merch shops that you see out there that aren’t being advertised by Felix himself are fake streamer merch shops.

How much money does xQc make from Kick?

xQc makes around $2.6 million per month from streaming on Kick.

xQc makes around $232,086 per month from streaming on Twitch.

Here’s how this adds up:

…From Hourly Wage

Due to the nature of his Kick contract, xQc likely gets paid $10k for every hour that he streams on Kick.

Since xQc streams about 250 hours per month on average, xQc makes an estimated $2.5 million per month from his hourly wage on Kick.

…From Kick subscribers

Okay, I’ll be honest. We have no way to track Kick subscriptions as we do for Twitch using Twitch Tracker.

So we have to make some guesses here.

In the last 6 months on Twitch, xQc had an average of 68K subscribers, this is good for around $170k per month on Twitch’s 50/50 revenue split.

On Kick, this would make him $323k per month.

But there’s no way xQc has the same amount of subs on Kick as he did on Twitch for a number of reasons:

Kick doesn’t have Prime subs which made up 46% of xQc’s subscribers
xQc has less average viewers on Kick (30k compared to 53k on Twitch) because Kick is still a lot less popular than Twitch

Without Twitch primes, xQc had 31,280 paying subscribers.

Since he has 57% less viewers on Kick then he did on Twitch, we estimate that he has 17,829 paying subscribers. For which he keeps $4.75 per sub.

So in total, xQc makes an estimated $84,687 per month from subscribers on Kick.

Considering he makes at least $4.75 per subscriber, we estimate that xQc makes $84,687 USD per month from subscribers on Kick.

…From Kick Advertisements

xQc doesn’t seem to run advertisements on Kick.

…From Donations

xQc gets quite a bit of donations during his streams, that makes sense because he always streams to over 30,000 people on Kick.

For example, on his donation page, this week, he’s already made $600 from his top 10 donations alone. While it is hard to estimate how much xQc really makes from donations, it is likely to be anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000 per month.

How much money does xQc make from Youtube?

According to Social Blade, xQc gets around 32.5 million video views every month. This makes sense because he’s a madman who uploads 4 videos per day!

Considering a $3 CPM, we estimate that xQc makes an estimated $97,500 USD per month from Advertisements on YouTube.

How much money does xQc make per month?

xQc makes an estimated $2.7 million per month from streaming on Kick and uploading videos to his YouTube channel.

⚠️ Keep in mind this estimation is JUST based on Kick and YouTube earnings. It does not include any money xQc makes from donations, merch, sponsors and brand deals, investments, and more!
