The streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel (29) is more than taken care of thanks to several deals worth tens of millions of dollars. His parents are also financially secure for the rest of their lives. His mother could already be retired, but she doesn’t seem to understand that.
What kind of streamer is this? Félix “xQc” Lengyel was the undisputed number 1 on Twitch for a long time. In June 2023 he went to the competitor platform Kick, which is behind the controversial online casino Stake, for a lot of money.
We have already reported on MeinMMO about the business of gambling on streaming platforms: Twitch streamers earn millions of euros from gambling deals – their viewers go bankrupt.
Because of his success, the 29-year-old is able to send his parents into early retirement and support them financially for the rest of their lives. However, this realization seems to be difficult for his mother, as she refuses to spend the money that is now available to her. The streamer is frustrated.

Why don’t the parents want the money? In the stream on January 3, 2025, xQc commented on the situation. He angrily reports that his mother’s attitude is driving him crazy.
“Since I made it, my mom has been pretty damn well taken care of,” says the streamer, “The only problem I have with my parents is that my mom doesn’t want to spend money. (…) She doesn’t understand and that makes me really angry. Every time I see her I’m like, ‘Wait, you’re still saving? Are you still saving for life 2.0? Are you saving for the next life, is that what we are doing today?’”
Apparently his frustration lies in the potential wasted time in which his mother does not use the money available to her. As a joke, he adds that his mother might be keeping her savings because she wants to be prepared if she “respawns.”
What is the reaction from the fans? Fans of the streamer expressed their appreciation for his plans to fully cover his parents.
Statements like “I’d really like to do this, it must feel good” or “Paying off my parents’ credit card debt was probably the best feeling I’ve ever had” endorse and value xQc’s opinion (via Dexerto).
However, some people took the opportunity to make fun of other streamers. With statements like “I wonder if ExtraEmily would do something like that” they are referring to a controversy because the streamer declared that she did not want to pay her parents back the $170,000 for college.
