In an interview with the business magazine Forbes, Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa (29) talks about how she divides her time between Twitch and Kick and how she managed to assert herself as a woman in the streaming world.
What deal is it about? In mid-June 2023, Amouranth signed a non-exclusive contract with Twitch competitor Kick. Since then, she has been dividing her time between streaming platforms. The announcement of the change was made with an ironic video:
First, Amouranth can be seen reading an article about the change of her Twitch colleague Félix “xQc” Lengyel. He received $70 million for a two-year contract with the option to receive an additional $30 million if he meets certain conditions. The total amount of the deal is $100 million, which even puts him in competition with professional athletes.
In her own announcement, Amouranth calls her agent and says: “Hey, well, the $100 million deals have started… can I get one of them?” How much money the streamer actually received was previously unknown, rumors were spreading of $30 million for 2 years. In an interview with the business magazine Forbes, she spoke about monetizing her brand.

How much did Amouranth actually get? The streamer doesn’t reveal this, but Forbes speaks of “a non-exclusive deal with the competing platform Kick for an estimated $7 million annually.” So Amouranth would only get 1/5 of what xQc received.
However, Twitch and Kick are not the only source of income for the streamer. She reportedly earns more than $100 million a month from her OnlyFans account alone. And Amouranth wouldn’t be the businesswoman she is if she couldn’t make money even in her sleep.
To accomplish all of this, Amouranth has a tight schedule: She tells Forbes that she is live on Twitch and Kick for at least 10 hours a day. According to Amouranth, this is important for the community aspect.
The streamer explains that this is what sets her apart from many of her colleagues. They are not as chronically online as they are. It is more difficult for women to assert themselves in live streaming anyway, since the audience is predominantly male and can identify more with men, says Amouranth.
However, she managed to overcome the feeling of being an “outsider” on Twitch as a female streamer and just kept streaming.
However, in order to ensure a regular stream of new content at the same time, the streamer takes two days “every few weeks” on which she pre-produces content: During these days, YouTube videos, photos for Instagram and Twitter as well as the recordings made by the users are created can be purchased on OnlyFans and other payment platforms.
Amouranth also earns money through sponsorships and various investments. The 29-year-old owns several gas stations and always knows how to invest her money cleverly.
