Evident in Shroud and Ninja’s deals with Mixer, streamers reached a new level of acclaim and appreciation. Following this, it looks like one streamer continues to push the boundaries of how the world perceives streamers.

Streamer xQc recently penned a non-exclusive 2-year deal with streaming platform Kick, that sees a payout of a whopping $100 million. It sees him earn more than some of the highest-paid athletes in the world!

xQc ranks at the 12th spot in the largest sports contracts list

Felix “xQc” Lengyel became popular on Twitch following his Overwatch career. Known for his quirky behavior and hilarious moments on stream, he quickly won the hearts of fans, even playing with chess Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura on stream. His success culminated in a deal he signed with Adin Ross‘ streaming platform Kick, a deal that sees him earn $100 million over 2 years.

Following the announcement of the deal, fans remained shocked about the size of the contract. When compared to the highest-paid athletes in the world, xQc sits above the 12th highest-paid athlete.
