xQc recently showed how much he made on Twitch in his prime.
It began with a small decision that said a lot. MoistCr1TiKaL turned off donations, questioning why the biggest creators still accept money from their viewers. A few days later, xQc joined the conversation by revealing exactly how much he made.
xQc Reveals How Much He Made On A “Bad Day”
During a recent livestream, Félix “xQc” Lengyel, one of the most watched and highest paid streamers in the world, surprised his viewers by openly sharing how much money he used to make during his peak Twitch years.
According to xQc, on what he described as a “bad day” during his Twitch prime, he earned around 45,000 dollars in a single day. He emphasized that this was not his best day at all, in fact he called it “below average,” suggesting that some days were far more lucrative.
The clip did not appear out of nowhere. xQc was reacting to another creator’s video, one from MoistCr1TiKaL, who had been discussing streamer income and transparency.
Why MoistCr1TiKaL Stopped Accepting Donations
Before xQc ever showed his numbers, MoistCr1TiKaL had already made headlines for a very different kind of financial reveal. In a recent YouTube video, he announced that he was disabling viewer donations and gifted money on his channel altogether. His reasoning was simple but powerful: he felt that people should save their money during difficult times instead of giving it to streamers who are already financially secure.
The move sparked a lot of discussion online. Some were surprised that a creator of his size would turn off donations completely, while others saw it as a rare and genuine gesture. MoistCr1TiKaL explained his decision in his usual calm and understated way, focusing on the idea that big creators simply do not need extra money from their viewers. That mindset, honest and practical, quickly caught xQc’s attention and it was while reacting to that very video that he decided to show his own numbers.
A Moment of Transparency In the Streaming World
When xQc reacted to MoistCr1TiKaL’s video and revealed his own numbers, it didn’t feel like a competition. It was more like two of the biggest names in streaming accidentally opening a window into how their world really works. For a brief moment, viewers could see both the scale of success and the rare honesty behind it. It ended as quickly as it started, but it left a clear picture of how surreal life at the top of streaming has become.
