Some people already found the payout information of some of the top streamers over at Twitch and posted a comprehensive list, with some very big numbers. Top streamer xQcOW had a September 2021 payout of over 750.000 dollars, with Summit1G following behind on 360.000 dollars. It also includes the gross payouts, which sees streamers earn amounts which easily reach millions of dollars.
