The assets of the Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins are estimated at $ 50 million (the equivalent of around 48 million euros). He owes a lot of money primarily to the game Fortnite, in which he had a high flight in 2017 and 2018. But in 2025 he was annoyed that Fortnite supposedly paid other streamers to show the game, but he goes away empty -handed.
That annoys Ninja today: In a stream on Twitch in mid -February 2025, Ninja complains about the developers of Fortnite, Epic Games. He heard and was pretty sure that Epic paid his former companions Timthetatman and Couragejd to play Fortnite.
Ninja expected that he was also asked for sponsorship, but Epic did not report.
Ninja is very worried.
Through Fortnite to the largest streamer on Twitch – who is Ninja and what is he doing today?

Shows me some love
That says Ninja: In a Twitch team with his brother Brandon Blevins, Ninja (via Twitch) said that he feels “subliminally insulted by Epic Games.” He understands that he is probably not paid to play Fortnite because he plays it anyway, but still.
I am one of the very few great streamers who play Fortnite, and just because I play it anyway, you pay a bunch of other people to play it and then only for a day. Not even for a day, just for two hours?
He annoys him. Epic should please him to show some love. Somehow he is all against the grain.
It’s frustrating, but I already understand it. You want to reach new people. Tim plays other games. You want his viewers. I understand that. But please … show me some love.
Ninja says: If you don’t understand it, be not intelligent
Doesn’t he notice the irony? Ninja has made his current, huge fortune through Fortnite and that seems to be clear to him. But still.
In the stream he says:
It is not as if I need the money, it’s about the principle. I mean, I can already see the comments: “Nah, dude, wow, you complain as a millionaire because you don’t get any money” – no, it’s about the principle. And if you can’t understand that, you are not intelligent.
Ninja actually believes that he made Fortnite big – not the other way around
That is behind it: Ninja has been fulfilled by the idea for 8 years: No matter how much he gets, he deserves it and actually there is much more to him.
His basic assumption is even after 8 years “Ninja made Fortnite great”, while all the facts speak for Fortnite to make the previously almost unknown streamer Ninja big and later damn rich.
Ninja ridden the absolute hype game Fortnite for two years and then got his enormous success in the game in 2019 with an indecently good mixer deal. From this hype era and this deal with a mixer, a large part of his assets, which is now estimated to be $ 50 million.
In principle, Ninja left his viewers and Fortnite when the game didn’t go as well and threatened to spoil him as younger players like Tfue. Because in May 2019, despite all efforts, Ninja simply could not qualify for the Fortnite World Cup. Other players were much stronger than him, who was already considered a senior in Fortnite e-sport at the end of 20.
But despite his huge success, Ninja never came back from gratitude to Fortnite. Instead, Ninja Meckert for years that Epic Games would have courted him even more, promoted and promote that his skin was far too late in Fortnite. If it had appeared at the hype time, he and Epic could have made a lot more money.
There has never been enough for Ninja here.
It is a shifted perception. Yes, Ninja was the largest gamer in the world in 2017 and 2018, but he was only through Fortnite. Before that, nobody had him on the screen.
The idea that Ninja had made Fortnite great and he has a special love of the game for this forever, is an exclusive view that Ninja holds and of which he obviously cannot leave. But this drivenity is probably also the success model that makes it out. In the meantime, at least you can see that he himself notices how strange he can get across in these moments. He then always emphasizes, so his brain works – so he is knitted. Twitch: Ninja reveals “disgusting” sum that he deserves for Fortnite’s weddings
