The streaming world was rocked again this week as Twitch star Jynxzi inadvertently revealed his staggering monthly earnings during a live broadcast on April 24, 2025, sparking widespread discussion about the financial realities of top-tier creators.
Jynxzi, a 23-year-old Rainbow Six Siege streamer with over 7.2 million followers, accidentally displayed his Twitch analytics dashboard, showing a jaw-dropping $452,448 earned between March 25 and April 23, 2025. This leak, which quickly went viral, offers a rare glimpse into the revenue streams fueling the success of Twitch’s biggest names.
Breaking down Jynxzi’s earnings, the numbers highlight the diverse income sources available to streamers on the platform. A significant 45% of his revenue—roughly $203,602—came from advertisements, driven by his impressive average of 25,000 concurrent viewers per stream.
This aligns with the growing trend of ad revenue becoming a dominant income source for top creators, especially as Twitch pushes more aggressive monetization strategies to compete with platforms like YouTube and TikTok.
Subscriptions, a cornerstone of Twitch’s revenue model, accounted for the remaining bulk of Jynxzi’s earnings. About 35% of his income, or $158,357, came from self-paid subscriptions, where viewers directly subscribe to his channel at $5, $10, or $25 per month, with Jynxzi likely taking a 50/50 or 70/30 split depending on his partnership agreement.
Another 10%, roughly $45,245, was generated through Prime subscriptions, where Amazon Prime members can allocate one free monthly subscription to a streamer of their choice—yet the streamer still earns as if it were a paid sub.
Gifted subscriptions, where viewers purchase subs for others, contributed 5% ($22,622), often boosting community engagement during milestone celebrations or viral moments.
Lesser-known revenue streams also played a role. Around 3% of Jynxzi’s earnings, or $13,573, came from Twitch Turbo, a premium subscription service that removes ads for viewers while redistributing a portion of the fee to streamers. Finally, about 1% ($4,524) was attributed to Bits, Twitch’s virtual currency that fans use to cheer during streams, with streamers earning roughly $0.01 per Bit.
Jynxzi’s accidental reveal isn’t an isolated incident—Twitch streamers have a history of unintentionally (or sometimes intentionally) disclosing their earnings, fueling both fascination and debate within the creator economy.

For context, Ninja disclosed a monthly income of $142,177 in 2023, while Asmongold shared a more modest $37,001 in early 2025, citing his refusal to run frequent ads as the reason for the lower figure. Jynxzi’s numbers, however, place him in a rare echelon, underscoring how a combination of high viewership, loyal subscribers, and strategic ad integration can yield massive financial rewards.
The leak also raises questions about transparency in the streaming industry. While some argue that such disclosures demystify the earning potential for aspiring creators, others, including Jynxzi himself, seem less enthusiastic about the exposure.
After a brief moment of panic during the stream, Jynxzi quickly switched tabs, exclaiming, “Oh my god, what just happened?” The moment, now immortalized online, highlights the double-edged sword of streaming fame: immense financial success often comes with intense public scrutiny.
For the broader Twitch ecosystem, Jynxzi’s earnings breakdown reflects the platform’s evolving monetization landscape. With ad revenue now rivaling subscriptions for top creators, Twitch appears to be doubling down on advertising as a growth driver, a move that has sparked mixed reactions among streamers and viewers alike.
Smaller creators, who often lack the viewership to generate significant ad income, may find the gap between them and stars like Jynxzi widening further. Meanwhile, subscription models like Prime and Turbo continue to offer a more stable, community-driven income source, though they remain heavily dependent on viewer loyalty.
As the creator economy matures, incidents like Jynxzi’s leak serve as both a benchmark and a reality check. For every streamer earning close to half a million dollars a month, countless others struggle to break even. Yet, the allure of Twitch’s top earners continues to draw in new talent, each hoping to one day accidentally reveal their own six-figure dashboard.
For now, Jynxzi remains a testament to what’s possible on Twitch — provided you’ve got the audience, the ads, and a knack for avoiding dashboard mishaps.
