While streaming has become a lucrative venture for some, there are those content creators who make more money than others, and Kick has its own tier of highest paid streamers and creators.
The streaming platform Kick has pushed itself up from scratch into a position of prominence among the most popular streaming services on the web. Perhaps one of streamers’ favorite things about the site is its revenue sharing. Kick has a 95/5 revenue split with its content creators, way higher than Twitch’s baseline 50/50 split. Some streamers with big enough names have even signed big-money exclusive contracts to make content for the platform.
With millions of users registered, Kick has been highly profitable for its highest paid streamers. These are some of those highest paid streamers on Kick.

Felix “xQc” Lengyel began his gaming career in professional Overwatch player. He since then has transition to streaming, moving into more casual games and reaction content over time after getting started with Overwatch. With over 940,000 followers, he is one of the most popular streamers on Kick by any measure.
In 2023, xQc and Kick reached an agreement through which the content creator would stream on Kick for at least two years and would earn at least $70 million. Another $30 million from incentives brought the total payout to $100 million. This is widely regarded as one of the largest livestreaming deals ever signed, and it instantly made xQc one of the highest paid streamers not only on Kick, but anywhere.
Adin Ross has had a controversial history on most of the streaming platforms he’s made content for, and that includes Kick. Much of his content centers around gaming, gambling, and collaborating with celebrities and political figures alike. He has 1.8 million followers, so he’s clearly found a large audience hungry for his material.
Ross has been relatively transparent about how much he’s making off of his Kick content. In one stream, he shared that he expected to make $600,000 in a single month from approximately 20 Kick videos. The income comes from the platform’s partnership program, where Ross gets paid for both subscribers and viewers after passing certain thresholds.
Adin Ross also reportedly has a personal stake in Kick, though the exact details of that stake are unknown.
One of the first streamers to sign on with Kick and a co-owner of the platform, Tyler “Trainwreckstv” Niknam has been busy on Kick for the last few years. He moved from Twitch after the platform first cracked down on gambling content. Though previously known for his content created around Among Us and other games, Trainwreckstv now focuses almost exclusively on the Slots and Casino category on Kick.
Trainwreckstv in the past has been transparent about the Kick earning process. In 2023, he shared that he made $16,000 in just a month with only 3.5k subscribers. His number of paid subscribers in 2025 is unknown, but his total follower count has ballooned to over 400,000.
This is all in addition to his cryptocurrency and gambling wins, which have on numerous occasions totaled into the millions of dollars.

Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa is another figure known for pushing the limits while streaming, and for making money while doing it. Previously one of the most widely-watched streamers on Twitch, she’s best known for the ASMR content and outfits that have gotten her banned from Twitch several times.
After signing with Kick in 2023, Amouranth did not disclose the exact details of her contract, though she did say that it doubled her income, and Amouranth was already established as a millionaire. In a since-deleted tweet announcing her return to Twitch in June 2025, Amouranth teased that she may have made as much as $38 million while streaming on Kick. Considering her monthly income from OnlyFans, this figure lines up with previous estimates, and easily cements her as one of the highest paid streamers on Kick.
Steven “Destiny” Bonnell’s favorite categories to stream on Kick are politics and Just Chatting, though he still occasionally ventures into some gaming content. The streamer left Twitch after multiple bans and has even been banned from Kick temporarily for hate speech.
Destiny originally signed a temporary deal with Kick with an estimated contract worth of a few million dollars, putting him among the highest paid Kick streamers from the very beginning of his time there. Stipulations included that he could still stream on YouTube and that he had to use the Kick platform’s chat. Given that he’s still streaming on the platform with over 250,000 followers, it seems the switch continues to be financially worthwhile.
Most streamers make money on Kick through a variety of means. These include not just through subscribers and viewers, but also through brand deals and affiliate links. Select streamers, such as xQc and Amouranth, are even big enough to warrant their own contracts guaranteeing a high income for streaming on the platform. For those looking to earn their own money from Kick, the best way is to just start streaming and building an audience.
