xQc compares streaming and video earnings with MoistCr1TiKaL, how much he's earned
Kick streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel recently revealed how much he used to make on Twitch, and now the streamer has shared his lifetime earnings on YouTube.
Charles “MoistCr1TiKaL” White Jr. took the streaming industry by storm when he revealed his lifetime earnings during his career, with many millions of dollars accrued. This led to xQc also displaying his Twitch revenue for a “bad day,” which was close to $40,000 for a single day’s work. The streamer didn’t stop there, with xQc now claiming he’s “poor” compared to someone like MoistCr1TiKaL based the differences in their content revenues on YouTube.
How much did xQc make on YouTube?
xQc has made revenue totaling approximately $6 million on YouTube throughout his streaming career. That number is significantly lower than MoistCr1TiKaL’s $35.8 million earned on the same platform over the same time period.
xQc displayed his YouTube dashboard live during a stream, showing viewers that his lifetime earnings on the platform totaled $5,897,681.84. While this number may seem to be on the lower end considering xQc’s prominence, the stats highlighted that the Kick streamer didn’t have many viewers in 2018 and 2019. xQc’s YouTube viewership really started to increase in 2020, and the content creator’s YouTube earnings reflected that change. MoistCr1TiKaL, on the other hand, has had higher viewers on his videos for a longer period of time, which is a big contributor to his overall earnings being so much higher.

While xQc may not have made a large sum of money on YouTube, the streamer has had a financially successful streaming career regardless. His sharing that he’d made approximately $40,000 on a “bad day” on Twitch indicated that he could close to a million dollars in a single month on the platform. The streamer also signed an exclusive deal with Kick when the streaming platform initially launched in 2023, apparently for $100 million.
Viewer reaction to xQc’s revelation came quick, with the majority claiming the streamer was wrong to call himself “poor” while earning $6 million from YouTube alone, especially given what he’s earned elsewhere. While MoistCr1TiKaL earned significantly more than xQc on YouTube, the comparison would be quite different if xQc compared their Twitch revenues. MoistCr1TiKaL’s lifetime revenue from Twitch has been $5.5 million, which is significantly less than xQc if he was consistently making $40,000 or more on a daily basis. It also doesn’t take into account streaming contracts signed by either content creator, whether on Twitch, Kick, or elsewhere.
Regardless of which streamer has the greater earnings, there is no doubt that both have made a significant amount of revenue throughout their successful careers, revenue which continues to pour in.
