It was recently announced that Fortnite now has over 350 million registered players worldwide which makes it one of the biggest games of all time. In fact, in April alone, the game has been played for more than 3.2 billion times. Both Fortnite Save The World and Fortnite Battle Royale achieved tremendous success in their own respective fields. Knowing that the game itself is just less than 3 years since its first launch, the success of the franchise is pretty overwhelming. The Fortnite community is rapidly growing over time and many top gamers worldwide are also embracing the undeniable hype. Today, we are listing down five of the most popular Fortnite Players worldwide. How much do they earn from live-streaming their game? How much impact do they make in the Fortnite community?
Richard Tyler Blevins Jr aka Ninja
This list will never be completed without Ninja on it. Richard Tyle Blevins Jr or more popularly known as Ninja is possibly one of the streamers that helped Fortnite reach the mainstream. Prior to his Fortnite fame, Ninja has been participating in various esports events especially with Halo 3, H1Z1, and even PUBG where he won the PUBG Gamescom Invitational Squad in August of 2017. Shortly after his success with PUBG, Blevins started streaming the newly-released Fortnite Battle Royale where his popularity reached a new milestone. His Twitch channel alone has reached more than 14 million followers that made him the most-followed Twitch streamer of all time.
Blevins’ Youtube channel has more than 22 million followers. Last year, Twitch signed a two-year contract with Overwatch League to stream his matches for 70 million dollars which makes it the largest contract in esports history. After leaving Twitch and moving to Mixer, Ninja’s net worth seemingly increased dramatically. According to reports, Ninja managed to earn £10,000,000 in 2018 alone. Today, Ninja’s net worth is a jaw-dropping 10 million dollars. 70 % of these came from his well-followed live streams while the rest are from various sponsorship deals with different well-known brands. To pay tribute to his major contribution in Fortnite, Epic Games recently launched a special Ninja skin, marking him the first-ever streamer to get a virtual counterpart and placed it in-game for millions of fans to wear. Ninja is indeed one of the best Fortnite players everyone should follow. Not to mention his notable charitable works.
Turner Ellis Tenny aka Tfue
Tfue is regarded as one of the best players on Fortnite history after winning a series of major Fortnite-related tournaments. Although he went through a lot of controversies that resulted in him being banned in major streaming service providers, it is undeniable that Tfue is one of the most skillful Fortnite players of all time. Just like Ninja, Tfue’s streaming platform is Twitch. He currently has 8.5 million followers that marked him the second-most followed Twitch streamer. In the second quarter of 2019, Tfue managed to surpass Ninja in terms of the number of hours that his streaming channel is viewed.
