Valkyrae placed 29 on Forbes 30 Under 30 next to Scump, FaZe Swagg, and more
On November 30, 2021, the official Forbes 30 Under 30 list for the Games category was unveiled. At spot number 29, ranked Rachell "Valkyrae" Hofstetter, a popular streamer and a co-owner for the esports and gaming organization 100 Thieves.
As the list went live, the 100 Thieves Twitter account made a post regarding the accomplishment and tagged Valkyrae, who was completely surprised to see the nomination.
Valkyrae then collected herself and tweeted a message of gratitude to her followers, exclaiming that this had been one of her career goals.
Valkyrae began streaming way back in 2015, alongside posting content to YouTube. She joined 100 Thieves in 2018 as a content creator, becoming the first female gamer to join the organization. Years later, on April 7, 2021, she announced that she had officially become a co-owner of the company.
The content creator originally started streaming on Twitch but signed an exclusive deal with YouTube in 2020 and has stayed on the platform ever since. That year, she became the most-viewed female streamer, passing Imane "Anys" Pokimane, who was considered the number one female streamer at the time.
Besides her career in streaming, Valkyrae has tried her hand at various ventures. She's acted in music videos for several artists (including Corpse Husband and Bella Poarch), started a skincare brand (which is now defunct), and participated in a fundraiser that Jimmy Fallon hosted as part of The Tonight Show.
Others that were mentioned on the 30 Under 30 - Games list include Seth "Scump" Abner, Kris "FaZe Swagg" Lamberson, and Sasha "Scarlett" Hostyn.
