Popular Fortnite streamer, Ninja, can make over $20 million converting from Twitch to Mixer. It is rumored that Mixer paid Ninja about $6 million to stream exclusively on Microsoft’s platform, but given his popularity and talent, he is likely to receive many times that amount.
According to CNN about the income of streamers, Justin Warden, CEO of Ader, a brokerage that works with Ninja, said that Mixer paid streamers about $20-30 million for this deal. Meanwhile, another brokerage that works with Ninja, declined to comment on the amount, and Mixer also did not confirm how much Ninja is paid to stream games like Fortnite. However, Warden said he has “firsthand information on the deal” and as the CEO of the company that works with Ninja, his numbers must be correct.
$20 million is not a small amount, but Mixer will soon earn this number again. Fans can get a free subscription on Mixer’s Ninja channel, and even though this period has ended, there are still many people willing to pay $4.99 per month to support the streamer. In addition, Mixer also receives a share when viewers buy Ember, used to buy emotes. Ninja’s switch to Mixer attracted many people to the site and they were able to meet other new streamers to watch – thereby creating a huge new revenue stream for Mixer.
Ninja can also help Mixer and Microsoft earn money back playing their games. Ninja used to be a good Halo player and he will most likely help Microsoft when Halo: Infinite, the flagship game of the Xbox Series X comes out. That helps Microsoft sell many new games and consoles. So, the $20 million figure will come back sooner.
Ninja doesn’t just make money from Mixer contracts. Jessica Blevins, Ninja’s manager and wife, confirms one of the reasons why Ninja switched to Mixer so he could further expand his brand. One of those brands is Ninja’s Adidas contract, which allows him to launch his own Adidas shoes.
