These days, it's not uncommon for folks to make a living off of streaming themselves playing video games. In fact, it's almost baffling to consider that this modern-day profession didn't really come into its own until the early 2010s. That was essentially the advent of the streamer when some gamers were able to capitalize on the idea that there was literal value in having others watch them play games. xQc is one prolific streamer whose career caught fire around that time.

That enviable number is only expected to rise in recent developments. In June 2023, xQc signed a deal with streaming platform Kick to a potential payout of over $100 million. As part of this deal, xQc entered a non-exclusive partnership with the platform, which reportedly allows xQc more creative freedom with his content. It currently stands as one of the largest deals in entertainment history, according to The New York Times.

Of course, with that kind of money, there's probably a lot of dirty laundry to sift through. In xQc's case, that's pretty literal. In an August 2023 stream, xQc went into full cringe mode after a maid came in during one of his streams to clean up an enormous mess in the room. The Twitch clip made headlines as a hilariously embarrassing moment for an otherwise absurdly successful streamer.

For many gamers looking to turn their hobby into a job, one would hope they can achieve a fraction of the success that xQc has reached.
