In a stream on Twitch with LetsHugoTV, Papaplatte spoke about his attitude towards money, emphasizing that financial success is no longer as important to him as it once was.
The Twitch streamer Papaplatte has become increasingly successful in recent years. It now has an average viewership of over 30,000 people (via Sullygnome).

Where did the topic come up? In a past stream, an excerpt of which was posted on TikTok on February 2nd, Papaplatte talks to fellow streamer LetsHugo about financial income.
LetsHugo says that 50,000 euros a month is still not enough for him – but then laughs and says that it was a joke.
Why is money no longer important to him? Papaplatte then replies that there was a time when he really thought like that and in the past he always thought about how he could earn even more. This is different now:
I also went through a phase where I thought that money was even more important to me. […] I used to think more about how I could make more money. […] Now I just want to make sure I have a lot of fun doing the things I do.
LetsHugo says that Papaplatte already has “a lot of money”. Papaplatte answers:
I think it’s just like that, at some point I was making like 20K a month or something and thought it would be sick to make 50K a month. Then at some point I made 50K, or more. My life has changed 0%. So really 0%. The only thing that changes is that I can put even more aside.
He doesn’t plan on putting “3 Lambos” in front of his door. Financially, he achieved all the goals he wanted to achieve.
