When was Valkyrae born? Looking back at the YouTube streamer’s life on her birthday

Valkyrae was born on 8 January 1992 and will be turning 30 years old today. The streamer has 3.61 million subscribers on YouTube, along with some 320k on her alternate YouTube channels.

Like most other creators, Valkyrae started her livestreaming career on Twitch around November 2016. She has around 950k followers on Twitch but hasn’t been active on the platform since January 2020.

Moving on from her livestreams, Valkyrae has had a fair share of controversies in the past few months as well. Fans will especially remember the RFLCT skincare brand that came under extreme scrutiny from fans.

She eventually managed to escape the contract as the company itself shut down. RFLCT came under scrutiny mostly because it made various problematic claims including that it protects people from the sun’s harmful blue light.

However, it hasn’t been all controversial as the streamer was also announced as a co-owner of 100 Thieves in April 2021. Along with Jack “CouRageJD” Dunlop, Valkyrae joined the likes of Scooter Braun, Dan Gilbert, rapper Drake and founder Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag as the owners of the 100 Thieves.

Regardless, it seems she has aptly moved on from the RFLCT controversy as well. The streamer has been back on schedule on YouTube in recent weeks and posted an especially happy tweet on her birthday.

Needless to say, Valkyrae is one of the most important female creators of recent years and is a source of inspiration for newer creators. She became the first female creator for 100 Thieves in 2018 and previously worked at GameStop before starting off her livestreaming career.

Over the past two years, she has grown close to innumerable content creators who she regularly collaborates with. These include Imane “Pokimane” Anys, Thomas “Sykkuno” Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang and Corpse Husband.
