Tons of content creators have found success on the Internet, especially when it comes to streaming video games on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. Early adopters of the format, in particular, have amassed millions of followers and sponsorship opportunities, to the point where some actually stream as a full-time job.

As content creators grow their channels and take on more opportunities, the effects on their personal lives become increasingly apparent. Their visibility also makes them subject to the same kind of attention that Hollywood celebrities get — meaning for highly successful streamers, their personal lives are just as much in the spotlight as their streams.

Much of the coverage surrounding streaming centers on controversies and negative events. However, plenty of creators have experienced positive change as a result of their streaming content. Here are just a few worth highlighting.

H20 Delirious & Liz Katz

This mysterious gaming YouTuber has managed to hide his face and identity for over 10 years. Some may say this veil of mystery is the main reason for his success, but others say his content is pure, fun entertainment. H20 Delirious started his channel in 2007 and has since gained 13 million subscribers. He’s also racked up a total of 3.71 billion views.

H20 Delirious doesn’t report his finances, but he seems to have gained success and stability through his channel. Many fans were also surprised to learn about his relationship with another YouTuber, Liz Katz. The two have a daughter together, whom they refer to as Babylirious on social media. She’s often pictured in photos posted to Instagram, though her face is covered — likely both for her safety and protection, as well a to maintain H20 Delirious’ privacy.

Valkyrae

The first female content creator to join 100 Thieves, Valkyrae really started to blow up in YouTube and Twitch popularity thanks to the recent Among Us trend. She also made a name for herself streaming Fortnite.

Before her fame as a content creator, Rachell Hoffstetter was holding down three jobs in a struggle to make it through community college. Fittingly, one of those jobs was as an employee at GameStop, where her passion for video games grew and bled into her Twitch streams.

It wasn’t until she noticed a small community begin to watch her content for strictly who she was, that she decided to quit her jobs and stream on Twitch full time for close to three years. She also struggled openly with familial issues, including her father’s alcoholism and cancer. When he passed, Valkyrae used the money she earned from streaming to help take care of her parents. Through streaming, Valkyrae became the bread winner of her family. Her viewers were astounded that her glowing personality had survived upon learning these things, and she now continues to grow as a content creator.

Dathi De Nogla

Also known as David Nagle, this Irish YouTuber started his channel in 2012 and has since gained 7.2 million subscribers, with a total of 1.20 billion views. Nogla is known for being a bit of an innocent, easily duped gamer among his group of friends. However, he has also acquired a lot of fame through his Call of Duty gameplays, where he’s super competitive and will troll and ninja defuse. Over the years, he’s diversified his content significantly and has even done a few travel vlogs.

Though Nogla’s finances aren’t publicly available, he has had enough success to travel to multiple countries and meet his current wife Aliyah, who he secretly married in 2019. The two are expecting a baby and have two dogs, Joe and Tony.

Yassuo

Mohammad “Moe” Abdalrhman, aka Yassuo, is a 21 year-old Twitch streamer who is primarily a star League Of Legends player. Though he only recently joined the eSports organization 100 thieves, his success started long before that. Moe was once like every college freshman from New York City struggling to find what he wanted to do with his life, while working less than minimum wage at a law firm. It was only when he started noticing the success he was gaining from his Twitch channel that he decided to drop out of college after one semester and stream full-time.

His popularity mainly grew off of the small niche that was “skilled English speaking Yasuo players” in League of Legends. His reputation led to him having many partnerships and sponsorships at a young age. He’s often invited to compete in Twitch Rivals and hosts his own tournaments with a Doritos partnership. He also competed in the League Champion Ships and has a net worth of $1.6 million. Yassuo has moved from his family home in New York to live in Los Angeles.

Pokimane

Imane Anys, better known as Pokimane, is one of the most popular Twitch streamers on the platform. Her content is wholesome and relaxed thanks to her nonchalant attitude. Similar to Yassuo, Pokimane also picked up streaming in college, but dropped out in 2013 to pursue streaming full-time. Her popularity is mainly due to her allowing her viewers to get to know her as a person. She’s a variety streamer who creates makeup tutorials, gaming and other lifestyle content. She is most notable for her streams of League Of Legends and Fortnite.

Pokimane moved from Canada to live in Los Angeles with her friends as a part of Offline TV. This led to her channel growing to become one of the top 100 broadcasters on Twitch. She has also competed in Twitch Rivals and has won “Streamer of the Year” at the Shorty Awards. Her popularity has led to additional success in the makeup and beauty industry, with tons of sponsorships under her belt.
