On YouTube, Korekore has over 2 million subscribers. His videos frequently get millions of views, and while he doesn’t broadcast there as often as he does on Kick, his streams still garner over a million views each. In addition to long-form content, Korekore also uploads some YouTube shorts that comfortably get over 100,000 views each, showcasing his immense popularity on what is still likely his least profitable platform.
Korekore also has a lot of influence on Japanese streaming platform TwitCasting.

Korekore’s TwitCasting memberships tiers costs close to either $6 or $19 USD, depending on which tier a fan opts for. This means that on the low end, Korekore comfortably receives over $1 million through these memberships alone, hugely contributing to his net worth. And that’s not mentioning the separate individual donations he receives during his streams.
Then there’s Kick. With over 100,000 followers there, the streamer pulls in additional money through Kick subscriptions and donations. He’s one of the most-watched streamers on the platform, competing with such giants as Westcol and Maherco, and Kick is easily where he’s most active, suggesting it may be where he finds the most financial success.
All of this is without mentioning some of Korekore’s other business endeavors. The streamer has written books, produced music, and was involved in producing the idol group Kore-Koi. With his toes dipped in so many different industries and his influence being as wide-ranging as it is, it’s no surprise that Korekore’s net worth has grown so high.
