Marlon accidentally leaks Twitch earnings, here’s how much he made
Twitch streamer Marlon “Mar3lg” Lundgren Garcia has accidentally leaked how much he earned in one month on the platform, and viewers are divided on whether the earnings figure is impressive or not.
Marlon is a relatively new streamer who initially tried his luck as a basketball player and professional model. He eventually transitioned to content creation and has grown his Twitch channel rapidly, currently boasting over 1.4 million followers on the platform. The streamer’s content revolves primarily around IRL and Just Chatting streams, with the occasional gaming broadcast mixed in for good measure. The Swedish content creator is also known to collaborate with other popular streamers, and has even faced a Twitch ban because of one such collaboration.
Now, Marlon has accidentally displayed his Twitch dashboard in a recent stream, giving viewers a look at his earnings and revenue on the streaming platform.
How much money does Marlon make on Twitch?
According to his leaked Twitch analytics, Marlon earned more than $125,000 on Twitch in the month of October alone.
Marlon’s statistics showed that he had streamed for 282 hours and 6 minutes in October, with 18 minutes and 14 seconds of ads broadcast every hour on his Twitch streams. The streamer had 17,575 active subscriptions in the month, and made close to $50,000 just from those subs thanks to his 70/30 split revenue split agreement with Twitch.
How much the streamer made from other revenue elements is unclear, as the leaked screenshot doesn’t display any further details. But based on the lengthy duration of the ads he displays, he likely generates strong ad revenue to go along with the money he makes from Twitch subscribers.

Fans were quick to react to the screenshot of Marlon’s Twitch revenue, which has since gone viral. It’s relatively common in the streaming world for content creators to accidentally display sensitive information, such as leaking Twitch earnings during streams, which are then quickly shared and distributed on and across social media by viewers. Some requested that the screenshot be deleted because the streamer had accidentally leaked the money he makes and didn’t want it the information to spread, though these requests were of little use.
Others debated whether or not Marlon’s Twitch earnings were all that impressive, and some complained that Marlon’s Twitch streams feature too many ads, which is why he made so much money despite streaming less than most other comparable money-makers on Twitch.
A few viewers compared his earnings to those of Kick streamers, suggesting Marlon could make more by streaming on Twitch’s chief competing platform.
