Fortnite star and popular streamer Tyler "Ninja" accidentally revealed the amount of money he earned on Twitch over the course of 30 days. While playing Fortnite OG on November 15, 2023, the content creator inadvertently displayed his Twitch dashboard, which revealed that he earned $142,177 from October 17 to November 15, 2023.

When the 32-year-old realized what he had done, he immediately closed the browser window and 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 streamer bursts out laughing)."

Prominent esports personality Jake Lucky shared Tyler's earnings on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, writing:

"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."

The six-figure earnings over the course of a month have left fans stunned, with user @itsMissTaco commenting:

"Life-changing money made in one stream, holy."

Ninja is a Twitch veteran who dominated the Amazon-owned platform when Fortnite was at its peak (in 2018). In 2019, he astonished the streaming community by signing an exclusive contract with Microsoft's Mixer, which no longer exists.

He returned to Twitch in September 2020 and continues to broadcast on the platform on a regular basis. He was also among the first content creators to begin simultaneously casting on multiple platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok Live.

Tyler's popularity has skyrocketed once again with the return of Fortnite OG, as tens of thousands of viewers tune in to his channel. As mentioned earlier, Ninja leaked the amount of money he made since the Epic Games-developed battle royale's surge in prominence:
