Making a living from the internet was almost unthinkable just 30 years ago. But today, platforms like OnlyFans and Twitch are showing the crazy amounts of money people are earning online.
YouTuber Tana Mongeau shared her success from her content on the OnlyFans platform recently.
Now, FaZe Clan members Ronaldo, Jason, and Lacy have leaked their Twitch earnings from their recent subathons.
Twitch subathons have become super popular over the past few years, leading to some of the platform’s biggest moments and records in history. Some more dangerous than others.

They all tend to follow the same pattern.
For every new sub, streamers extend the length of their stream.
If a lot of subs come in at once, they often spice things up with a special challenge.
FaZe Clan members have also been doing their own subathons, including StableRonaldo, Jason, and Lacy, and the trio of them have been wildly successful.
In fact, their earnings accidentally went public.
Jason accidentally showed off that he’d made over $500,000 for the month.
Meanwhile, Lacy and Ronaldo’s screenshots both claimed that they each earned over $1,000,000.
One X user posted a clip of the moment Stable Ronaldo accidentally leaked his Twitch Creator dashboard, showing he made $1.2M in September alone.
People have been calling the income 'insane' with some claiming that the reveal 'wasn't an accident.'
"1.2mil in a month is crazy," one user replied.
"I wouldn’t turn off my stream if I made $1.2M a month," another added.
Back in July earlier this year, Lacy was one of four new streamers to join FaZe after Banks decided to “reboot” the organisation and let go of several members.
While streaming on Twitch, Lacy accidentally pulled up his dashboard and revealed his earnings for July 6 to July 12, showing that he made $27,253—nearly $4.5K more than the previous week.
A few days later, Lacy intentionally showed his dashboard again, pulling up his stats for July 8 to July 14, revealing that he had made an impressive $58,762 during that week.
Now, although Twitch streamers aren’t banned for revealing their earnings, most try to avoid showing too much about their revenue.
While these numbers mostly reflect a subscription-based income, there are often additional earnings from ad campaigns or playing specific games, depending on what Twitch offers at the time.
Plus, donations can go through separate platforms and aren't included in the Twitch data. So, what you're actually seeing probably isn't close to the actual figure.
Still, it goes to show that streaming can be far more than just a side hustle, it can be a serious payday.
