Let’s get one thing straight: when we say “highest paid,” we’re first talking about what Twitch itself is paying out right now. That means subs, ads, Bits, and the occasional bonus. Not merch, not YouTube revenue, not crypto sponsorships.

For the Top 30 list, we ranked streamers purely by active paid subscriptions. That’s the most reliable on-platform metric and the best way to see who’s banking from Twitch directly in September 2025.

But that’s not the whole story. A handful of creators make way more than their sub counts suggest thanks to massive sponsorships, off-Twitch contracts, YouTube VOD ad money, and even multi-million-dollar exclusivity deals.

Scroll down to the “Bonus 20 section” to see the ones whose real incomes go way beyond Twitch payouts.

Quick Answer — Who Are the Highest-Paid Twitch Streamers by Subs & Overall Right Now?

An infographic made on September 2025 highlighting the top 50 highest paid streamers by current live subs & overall wealth

As of September 23, 2025, KaiCenat is way ahead of the pack in terms of active paid subs. Behind him? caseoh_, Jynxzi, byilhann, and eliasn97.

Sub numbers change fast, sometimes daily, but this is your current top 5 based purely on Twitch income.

If you zoom out to all-time wealth, though, the picture changes. Ninja still sits at the top with an estimated $50M fortune. Close behind? xQc (helped by his monster Kick deal), Shroud, Amouranth, and Ibai, all of whom have parlayed Twitch fame into multi-platform empires.

Methodology: What Counts as “Highest Paid”

We pulled live sub counts from TwitchTracker on September 23, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, then applied a consistent earnings formula:

Earnings vary by contract, region, and CPM. So while this isn’t a perfect science, it’s the most repeatable, transparent way to estimate Twitch income month-to-month.

Top 30 Highest-Paid Twitch Streamers (by Active Twitch Subscriptions — Sept 2025)

Subs change daily; figures below are rounded approximations based on September 2025 data:

1. KaiCenat — ~575k subs

KaiCenat

Kai Cenat sits at the very top of Twitch in 2025, and it’s not even close. His mix of high-energy variety streams, celebrity appearances, and marathon subathons has made him the face of the platform. The record-breaking Mafiathon 2 in late 2024 pulled in over 727k subs in one month, netting millions just from Twitch payouts and Bits. Add in sponsorships, merch drops, and his AMP crew collabs, and you’ve got one of the richest Twitch streamers of all time.

2. caseoh_ — ~42.7k subs

caseoh

CaseOh has built his name by blending Twitch streams with a huge YouTube presence. Winning Content Creator of the Year in 2024 pushed him into the spotlight, and he hasn’t slowed down since.

3. Jynxzi — ~35.3k subs

Jynxzi

Jynxzi has become one of the loudest and most entertaining faces on Twitch thanks to his Rainbow Six: Siege streams. His “accidental” Twitch revenue leak in April 2025 revealed he made over $450k in a single month, averaging nearly $1,700 per streaming hour.

4. byilhann — ~32.2k subs

byilhann

That audience carried over to Twitch, where his interactive streams give fans the same mix of humor and relatability. He often mixes gaming with real-life content and challenges. Between streaming, TikTok, Instagram modeling posts, and sponsorships, he’s one of the rising French-language creators turning his social media success into steady Twitch income.

5. eliasn97 — ~31.9k subs

eliasn97

Elias “eliasn97” Nerlich has been running German Twitch like it’s his backyard for the past few years. He’s the guy who smashed the hype train record in 2024 and turned every big event into a must-watch moment. Football streams, FIFA, live tournaments, whatever he touches gets attention. By now, his Twitch channel is less about one game and more about a whole community rallying behind him.

6. Tumblurr — ~29.9k subs

9. HasanAbi — ~26k subs

HasanAbi

HasanAbi has carved out a lane on Twitch that’s all his own. He’s not grinding shooter lobbies or speedrunning games. Hasan is streaming politics, debates, and hot takes for hours on end.

Highest Paid Twitch Streamers Overall (Bonus)

Volatility & Seasonality (Why Rankings Change)

Twitch income is never static. It swings depending on what’s happening on stream.

Big subathons, hype events, or the release of a new game can push numbers through the roof overnight. On the flip side, a week off, burnout, or slow content can tank sub counts just as fast.

That’s why these rankings aren’t set in stone, they shift month by month, sometimes even week by week. Kai Cenat’s record-breaking subathon peaks are the perfect example of how volatile Twitch money really is.
