Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” is known to make headlines, but most of the time, it is on purpose. However, this time, he came to the spotlight after accidentally flashing his Twick dashboard during a live stream, thus leaking his monthly earnings from the platform. What was next? Rival platform Kick did not shy away from taking a dig at the streamer.
Ninja is a Twitch veteran who single-handedly dominated the Amazon-owned platform at the time when Fortnite was at its peak in 2018. Although he moved to Microsoft’s streaming platform Mixer (which is now shut) in 2019, he returned to Twitch in September 2020.
He continues to stream on the platform regularly. Recently, when Fortnite OG brought back the OG map, Ninja’s popularity and viewership skyrocketed. Notably, the amount of money he made has increased since the launch of Fortnite OG. Currently, Ninja is Twitch’s 11th most popular content creator, flaunting 18,797,853 followers.
He primarily streams Fortnite and is often seen collaborating with fellow content creators as well. He is one of the first streamers to multi-stream on various platforms. Recently, he gave a befitting reply to a fellow streamer DrDisRespect, who made fun of streamers who multi-stream.
Kick takes a dig at Ninja’s leaked income
During a recent stream on November 15, 2023, Ninja accidentally exposed the amount of money he earned on Twitch over the course of the last 30 days. His Twitch dashboard revealed that he had earned $142,177 during the period between October 17 to November 15, 2023.
The Fortnite star immediately realized what he had done and wasted no time in closing the browser window and laughed as he said, “Ah! You got a little sneak-peak of the… TTV (Twitch.tv) earnings this month, guys! Just pull that up real quick. I did just leak my dashboard.”
The six-figure amount left any of the viewers and his fellow streamers stunned. Another prominent esports personality, Jake Lucky, shared Ninja‘s earnings on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “Ninja leaking his Twitch dashboard to remind us all how it feels to be leasing a vehicle, still renting, and having extra steak at Chipotle be an achievement.” A user even calculated his daily earning, saying, “bro made $80K in one day lol wut”
Although the amount was impressively huge for many users, rival streaming platform Kick quickly took a dig at Ninja, saying he would have earned more on their platform. “would be way higher on Kick. jus sayin…” they wrote.

Several users came out in Ninja’s defense, reminding Kick that he wouldn’t make more on their platform. Many blamed their revenue model, while several others pointed out that Kick does not include ad revenue, which is a major contributor, like Twitch.
Nonetheless, Ninja is indeed inflating his net worth each day, and his recently leaked Twitch dashboard is a piece of evidence.
