<h2>Amouranth 2022: Twitch Career, Earnings, and Net Worth</h2>
Kaitlyn Michelle Siragusa, better known as Amouranth to millions, is a well-established Twitch streamer. From Just Chatting streams to revamping the hot tub stream meta, she has become a pivotal contributor to the streaming community. However, she was not a streamer at first.
<h2>Amouranth: Who is the ASMR Queen?</h2>
Born in Houston, Texas, on 2 December 1993, Amouranth is an only child. Moreover, she had grasped an interest in cosplaying, which developed into a hobby. In 2015, she took Fashion Design &amp; Theatrical Costume Design in college. Notably, she was further recommended by her professors to the Houston Grand Opera and Houston Ballet for the role of a <a href="https://youtu.be/H3-RhLDc5HU?t=658" target="_blank" rel="noopener">costume designer</a>.?Moreover, she also admitted that she wanted to do costume designing in movies. Nevertheless, the ASMR queen had a destined road to where she stands presently.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1230246 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/amouranth-4.jpg" alt="" width="1175" height="932" />

As she progressed, she entered Twitch as she was invited by the platform itself. Twitch is a well-known streaming platform that hosts uncountable streamers from all across the world. Chiefly, Amouranth stands as a well-known face in the community.

During her early years, she was frequently seen streaming about her costume designing and cosplays. As the years went by ventured into IRL Vlogs, and YouTube skits. Though it were just stepping stones, her <a href="https://youtu.be/RYWRcDY0B8c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> ?Wendy?s Trolls McDonald?s and Burger King? became extremely viral in 2017. And then 2018 arrived.

In 2018, Amouranth took the streaming level to a whole new level. What could be understood as unintentional, Amouranth envisaged the future of the streams. Introducing herself to the ASMR streams, she gathered a huge fandom from the genre. Moreover, it was at this time that her skyrocketing journey on the popularity charts started effectively.

Notably, she was also frequently seen holding streams recognized as ?Hot-Tub streams.? Furthermore, though it cannot be proven, the community upheld her as the trendsetter of the present-day meta. Throughout the years, she built a whole empire on the streaming platform. Thus, becoming one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, Onlyfans, YouTube, and Patreon.?

Notably, in 2022, Amouranth was given a prestigious award for her ever-popular ASMR streams. During The Streamer Awards 2022, Amouranth was crowned as the Best ASMR Streamer. Thus, converging all her hard work and hours-long streams to a prestigious title.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1350181 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/amouranth-asmr-award.png" alt="" width="1366" height="768" />

As of November 2022, she has over six million followers on <a href="https://twitchtracker.com/amouranth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitch</a>. Moreover, as of November 2022, she has over 930K YouTube subscribers on her main <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Amouranth/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">channel</a>. And the only future can tell how many achievements can the ASMR queen gather for herself.
<h2>Net Worth of Amouranth in 2022: How Much Does She Earn?</h2>
Carrying such popularity as Amouranth in the community, the question of net worth does arise. However, since the finances are usually kept behind the curtain, some estimations do reflect a net worth.

As calculated by the <a href="https://streamerfacts.com/amouranth-net-worth/#twitch-earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organization</a> Streamerfacts, it was estimated that Amouranth makes at least $45,752 USD per month from subscribers on Twitch. Furthermore, it was estimated her earnings through advertisements on Twitch to be $25,000 USD per month. Also, this is excluding the subjective nature of donations given by viewers during the streamers.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1343985 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Amouranth-11.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

Moving on to Onlyfans, the ASMR queen had once given a preview of the earnings she gets from Onlyfans. In a <a href="https://twitter.com/Amouranth/status/1545524158523588608" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet</a> from July 2022, Amouranth attached a photo that showed the following earnings:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">March 2022: $1,418,627 USD</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">April 2022: $1,570,836 USD</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">May 2022: $1,568,752 USD</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">June 2022: $1,598,110 USD</li>
</ul>
Chiefly, the tweet displayed her net income on Onlyfans to be $27 million dollars.

Now, such statistics clearly depict that Amouranth surely has created a massive net worth for herself. As reported by the organization <a href="https://www.givemesport.com/1826575-amouranth-net-worth-2022-how-much-is-the-streamer-worth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GiveMeSport</a>, Amourath?s net worth is estimated to be between $20-25 million.?

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1254541 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/amouranth-8.jpg" alt="Amouranth" width="1830" height="850" />

Surprisingly, this seems to not be the saturation point for the ASMR queen. As she has <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-id-be-worth-100-million-after-buying-10-million-7-11-gas-station-twitch-queen-amouranth-spills-the-beans-on-her-future-plans-to-become-wolf-of-wall-street/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voiced her plans</a> to enter the $100 million club by the time she reaches 40. Hence, only the future shall unfold when Amouranth reaches the $100 million goal.
<h2>Amouranth?s Content Is Different From Other Twitch Streamers</h2>
For starters, inevitable is the fact that Amouranth?s stream genre differentiates her from other Twitch streamers. Moreover, revamping the Twitch platform with ASMR and Hot-Tub streams is one tiresome task. However, the ASMR queen seems to flourishingly prevail on the platform.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1243961 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/amouranth-5.jpg" alt="" width="1610" height="850" />

Interestingly, her hot-tub streams are not the ones where the streamer sits idle and keeps responding to the chats. To keep the entertainment and engagement quotient high, she tries to mix the streams with games. Minecraft, Mario Kart, Pokemon, and many others can be seen played by Amouranth during her hot-tub streams.

Moreover, she also invites other streamers to do a collaborative stream. Also, she explores the genre of IRL streaming where she goes to restaurants and engages with the chat while having meals. Interestingly, she has also been seen adopting the genre of sleeping stream. Wherein, well she just sleeps.?

Nevertheless, to entertain a diverse audience, she also keeps a varied account of YouTube channels. Apart from her main channel, Amouranth has the following set of YouTube channels:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Amouranth ASMR</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Also Amouranth</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Amouranth Daily Clips</li>
</ul>
Apart from streaming, the ASMR queen has also been seen painting canvases with Pokemon characters. Which clearly hints at her hidden talent for painting. Moreover, she also once <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-asmr-queen-amouranth-once-had-released-a-music-video-down-bad-for-her-fans-on-youtube/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> her own music video by name of ?<a href="https://youtu.be/lxxF-duGKzE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Down Bad</a>.? And as the video has crossed a million views, she might be aiming to release a rap album.
<h2>Amouranth's Business Ventures</h2>
The business ventures of Amouranth are as exciting as her streams. Starting with the purchase of a $10 billion gas station, Amouranth surprised the world with this decision. In a series of <a href="https://twitter.com/wildkait/status/1458012477925511168" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweets</a>, she explained her conscience behind doing so.?

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1239051 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/amouranth-streamer-2.jpg" alt="" width="1566" height="881" />

Last year, on her birthday, Amouranth had <a href="https://twitter.com/wildkait/status/1467925600132292612" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gifted</a> herself a million dollar worth of Visa Stocks. But this was just the beginning of her <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-amouranths-2022-investment-ventures-a-list-of-the-stars-100-million-portfolio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$100 million+ investment portfolio</a>. To give a view, here is a list of all her ventures in the year 2022:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Another inflatable pool company ($7M investment) on January 10</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Charter Communications ($CHTR) ($263K investment) on January 18</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Plastic ball company on February 10</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Adding more stake into Google ($2M investment) on February 23</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Netflix ($332K investment) on March 14</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Activision ($2M investment) on March 28</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">S&amp;P Global ($338K investment) on May 6</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Amazon ($1.08M investment) on May 11</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">More Google stock ($6.3M total investment) on May 19</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">$1,300,000 in shares of $GOOGL on? September 9</li>
</ul>
Thus, one can safely absorb the fact that the ASMR queen is in no mood to stop investing for better future returns. Thus, it would be exciting to see where and how she invests her financial earnings.
<h2>Is Amouranth married? What is her personal life?</h2>
Understandably, personal life streamers are often kept away from the streaming cameras. Whatever the reason, an influencer?s personal life is inevitably kept close to a secret. However, the world came at a pause when Amouranth made a surprise <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-asmr-queen-amouranth-breaks-the-silence-with-a-strong-statement-amidst-massive-marital-controversy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revelation</a> about her marriage.

In October, Amouranth went on the stream to voice out the unhealthy relationship between her and her husband. Following the revelation, fans <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-following-a-messy-marriage-turmoil-fans-come-out-in-support-of-hot-tub-queen-amouranth-as-she-announces-taking-a-break-from-social-media-streaming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came together to support her</a> in the hardest time. Moreover, she declared that she will be seeking legal counsel to sort things out in an orderly fashion.

Notably, in November, she was spotted streaming with the title, ?FIRST DATE IRL WITH A GIGACHAD.? Though it could be taken as a way of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-after-recent-marriage-controversy-asmr-queen-amouranth-gives-subtle-hints-at-potential-boyfriend-but/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hinting</a> at her looking forward to a relationship, nothing has been voiced by the streamer herself. Thus, until she admits any such revelations, she seems to be solo hustling her life.

<h3>Nintendo Switch - History, Sales, Current Market Value, Popular Games</h3>
Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular gaming consoles on the face of this planet. The reason behind this is not just the legacy that its creator holds but also the fact that the console captures a majority of a market that is not very passionately captured by others, or it would be better to say that not many consoles had the potential to do the same. Although there are a number of competitors in the market now, back when Nintendo Switch was released in 2017, no one stood even close.

[caption id="attachment_1680207" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1680207 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Nintendo-Switch-1-4.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1285" /> Image Courtesy: IMAGO[/caption]
<h2>History of Nintendo Switch</h2>
Nintendo Switch is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nintendo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nintendo</a>?s latest Primary console. It is the first home console ever to provide its users with a hybrid functionality. This console was released on March 3, 2017 worldwide.? The console was instantly met with a positive reaction all thanks to its innovative functionality and launch library. The most popular among its launch titles was <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a>, which usually gets credit for its success.

Popular Games

However, the most popular Nintendo Switch game is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe This kart racing game from the Mario franchise was released at the same time as the Switch. Thanks to the hype of the console and the game, it has gone on to remain their undisputed leader in sales. As per the reports from the end of 2022, Mario Kart remains at the top of the best-selling Nintendo Switch games with a mammoth 52 million copies sold.??

The top position was at risk at one point, but the end of the pandemic stopped that wild run. At one point, in Switch's journey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was a game that gained instant popularity thanks to its chill nature and its availability during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Many credits this game for keeping them happy during this trying time. Released during the lockdown period, this game was unstoppable and was easily the favorite to topple Mario Kart 8. 

However, that pace dropped due to many reasons, with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-animal-crossing-new-horizons-fans-give-up-on-the-game-despite-nintendo-scheduling-a-maintenance-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unimpressive updates being one of them</a>. Nevertheless, the brilliant fame saw it become the second most successful game with a little over 10 million short of taking the top spot. And all this in a short span of two years.

Further down the list, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pokemon-scarlet-and-violet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pokemon Scarlet and Violet</a>, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Super Mario Odyssey prove their popularity as a few of the Switch favorites with their sales.

COVID-19 turned out to be a boon for Nintendo

The COVID-19 pandemic only helped raise the popularity of the Nintendo Switch. The console sold more, and it is the newly launched game <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/animal-crossing-a-new-reality-in-the-pandemic-new-horizons-esports-news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Animal Crossing: New Horizons broke several sales records</a>. It broke the record at Nintendo for being the fastest-selling title in Europe after one year of sale.

If that wasn't satisfying enough the next one will do the job. New Horizons had<a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/animal-crossing-has-broken-nintendos-first-year-sales-record-in-europe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> sold 31.18 million copies</a> dated December 31, 2020. In the same year, Nintendo Switch sold 27.3 million consoles. It is also to be noted that ACNH was not out till March 2020, making this stat even more stupendous.

Although the game has won many hearts doesn't mean it was flawless. Even the record-breaking console had its flaws. The biggest criticisms of the Switch are its low graphical power, a commonly known issue with its Joy-Con controllers, and its lack of a customizable user interface. While there was no fix for the graphical power, Nintendo failed to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-nintendo-games-takes-the-first-step-to-improve-the-joy-con-experience-for-its-users-free-of-cost/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">address the Joy-Con-related issues</a> for the longest time and they have yet to do anything about its simplistic user interface.

Paying heed to these problems could have won more hearts, but they did their best and produced new things. Since its release, Switch has received several new features such as Bluetooth headphone connectivity, media transfer, and game folder creation through numerous updates.

 Nevertheless, the hybrid console has done what it was intended to do. Since its release, the Switch has sold 122.55 million units as of December 2022, making it the third best-selling game console in the world, and the second best-selling Nintendo console behind Nintendo DS, which stands at 154.02 million units sold. The top of the overall list is the PlayStation 2 with over 155 million sales.

Although untouchable, Switch might finally have competition

The Nintendo Switch has been untouchable in the market for a long time. Its uniqueness has been the major reason why it stood out when compared with other consoles in the market. Nintendo sells to its own niche, hence its popularity is never threatened by its several rivals. 

However, new players have entered the race and the one threatening it is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/steamdeck/">Steam Deck</a>, which can now be considered a better alternative. An <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-is-steam-deck-in-trouble-asus-rog-unleashes-a-game-changer-in-portable-gaming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even better player is set to step into the field</a> as ASUS 'ROG Ally' is said to be the 'best in the world' after boasting its features recently.

Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch &#8211; History, Sales, Current Market Value, Popular Games Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular gaming consoles on the face of this planet. The reason behind this is not just the legacy that its creator holds but also the fact that the console captures a majority of a market that is not very passionately captured by others, or it would be better to say that not many consoles had the potential to do the same.

Popular Games However, the most popular Nintendo Switch game is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe This kart racing game from the Mario franchise was released at the same time as the Switch.

As per the reports from the end of 2022, Mario Kart remains at the top of the best-selling Nintendo Switch games with a mammoth 52 million copies sold.?? The top position was at risk at one point, but the end of the pandemic stopped that wild run. At one point, in Switch&#8217;s journey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was a game that gained instant popularity thanks to its chill nature and its availability during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Many credits this game for keeping them happy during this trying time. Released during the lockdown period, this game was unstoppable and was easily the favorite to topple Mario Kart 8. However, that pace dropped due to many reasons, with unimpressive updates being one of them. Nevertheless, the brilliant fame saw it become the second most successful game with a little over 10 million short of taking the top spot. And all this in a short span of two years.
