Aceu reveals monthly Twitch earnings

In a July 1 Twitter thread, the 26-year-old revealed to the world how much he earns each month from his streaming career.

Writing “I used to make $2000/month delivering pizzas and struggling to pay for dinner,” he goes on to state “now I make $100k/month without leaving my house.”

Highlighting that the comment was “not a flex” he posted in the hopes that “it could help someone that might feel stuck like I used to.”

Following up with a comment noting that “a lot of people in the comp/stream community hide how much they make because they’re scared they’ll make less if people know,” he urges his fellow streamers and pro players to be more “open with their contracts, then everything would be more fair for everyone.”

Some respondents haven’t taken too kindly to his tweets, though. With one writing that a lot of players and streamers are contract-bound to hide their income, he hits back with “not true. Where did you hear this?”

When one user pleaded with the star to share some of his wealth because “I’ve been struggling a lot lately mentally and could benefit from knowing that my next gas fillup was covered or that my phone won’t get shut off next month,” aceu simply responded with ‘”sent,” having given the commenter some money.

With great power comes great responsibility, and aceu is using his platform and his income to better the world around him.
