21-year-old Twitch streamer buys Porsche for €200,000 as reward for the “hardest year” of his life

earthpressnews

On January 16th, Twitch streamer Rani “Stable Ronaldo” showed his community his latest acquisition: a Porsche 911 992 GT3, for just under €200,000. He earned the car primarily through Fortnite. He says he gave himself a gift. Because after a tough year, he managed to fight his way out of depression.

Who is this?

  • The 21-year-old American is not one of the top earners in Fortnite e-sports: He earned around $72,816 in 4 years, most of which he earned in 2019. He had a strong performance in an online tournament (via esportsearning ).
  • But stable Ronaldo is a successful Twitch streamer with an average of 3,867 viewers. He had his big time on Twitch in 2021, when he averaged over 10,000 viewers.
  • Stable Ronaldo is best known to a larger audience through his friendship with “Clix”, the biggest Fortnite streamer on Twitch. Clix also likes sports cars and treated himself to a big Lambo in May 2023.

    Streamer buys his dream car for his 21st birthday

    This is his purchase now: In a stream on January 16th, the streamer showed off his new acquisition, a Porsche 911.

    He said: “It was always my dream to buy a Porsche 911. I never thought I would be able to afford it for my 21st birthday and that the Porsche would be a GT3. This year has been the hardest yet, but I wanted to reward myself for all the stuff I’ve been through and give myself the love and recognition you give me.”

    Twitch streamer, he couldn’t work for 7-9 months in 2023, was too depressed

    What does he mean by the “hard” year? As Stable Ronaldo writes (via Twitter), he suffered from depression in 2023 and was unable to work for 7 to 9 months. During that time he gained over 20 kilograms. Only his closest friends and family knew how hard he worked to afford the life he always dreamed of.

    Many people think he is just lucky, but behind his life there is hard work. Nothing came easy to him.

    The depression arose because he lived alone for the first time in his life, far from his family. He felt lonely and abandoned there, cried all night long, struggled with depression, suicidal thoughts and weight gain.

    Ultimately, he realized that no one would save him and that he would have to fight his way out on his own while his life was falling apart.

    He only overcame the depression through hard work and started training to get from 90 kilograms back to 70. Now he had some of the most successful months of his career behind him.

    When he was at school, no one believed in him, but now he was able to buy his mother a house and a car, support her with a lot of money – and even afford the sports car himself.

    What are the career prospects like? The prospects for a professional gamer in Fortnite looked much brighter in 2019 than they do today. The prize money has shrunk – even on Twitch, Fortnite is no longer as big a hit as it was in 2019 – LEGO Fortnite or not.

    Stable Ronaldo’s career on Twitch also shows a clear downward trend over the year. Even if – as he says – he has experienced an upswing again in the last few months. The “cold winter” has broken out in esports. The income will no longer increase in the long term.

    But apparently so much money was raised “in the golden times” of Fortnite that the streamer was now able to fulfill his dream and see light again after a rough year.

    What car is that? The Porsche 911 GT3 has 510 hp, a top speed of 318 km/h and can go from 0 to 100 in 3.4 seconds.

    Depending on the equipment, the price of the car can quickly reach over €200,000. It is not known exactly how much Stable paid Ronaldo.
