Felix Lengyel, aka xQc, a well-known streamer on Twitch, recently claimed to have over $100 million in his crypto account. He made the revelation on a livestream hosted by MrBeast on Kick, which also featured Aiden Ross for TeamWater Charity.
The Canadian streamer was present with MrBeast and Adin Ross as they aimed to raise $12 million for TeamWater during a livestream on the streaming platform Kick. In his first-ever stream on the platform, MrBeast aimed to break the world record of $11.97 million, which was set in 2021 during the Z Event 2021 charity marathon.
The stream lasted about 18 hours, during which they took part in multiple activities, including listening to mariachi bands, oil wrestling, and getting haircuts. They also called contacts to make donations, participated in oil wrestling, and were even covered in snakes. One such activity was a lie detector test, in which xQc confirmed that he had $100 million in his crypto account when MrBeast and Adin Ross enquired.
xQc’s net worth and how he did it
According to Forbes, xQc’s net worth is $36 million as of October 28, 2024, and he was on the Forbes Top Creator 2024 list. xQc’s reported net worth comes mainly from his Kick deal, which he signed in June 2023 when he switched from Twitch to its rival platform. He signed a two-year contract with the streaming platform for allegedly $70 million guaranteed, with incentives possibly boosting it to $100 million.
His agent hailed the deal as “one of the highest deals in entertainment, period.” The deal is comparable to those made by renowned athletes such as LeBron James.
The deal did not demand complete exclusivity, allowing xQc to maintain a presence on other platforms.
xQc earns through subscriptions, like on Twitch, where he offers subscriptions starting at $5.99, $9.99, or $24.99 per month. He also earns from bits, ads, and donations on Twitch, as well as from views, memberships, and superchats on YouTube. Having 12.1 million followers on Twitch and 2.41 million on YouTube, where he averages 30–40k views, which contributes substantially to his earnings.
He also earns from sponsorships, brand deals, tournaments, guest appearances, and merchandise sales.
Other than streaming and multiple deals, it was speculated that xQc invests in real estate, startups, stocks, and crypto. His crypto holdings were confirmed during the livestream on MrBeast’s latest stream.
