The 10 largest donations in the history of Twitch

Those who are on the live streaming site Twitch.tv will often notice that streamers receive donations in the single-digit and double-digit dollar range or receive multiple subscriptions from generous viewers. A donation in the three-digit range is a real highlight for most streamers, no matter how big it is. But sometimes there are real surprises. A particularly generous donor recently made Twitch streamer sora629 a $100,000 birthday present! However, such large donations often turn out to be fake and are immediately withdrawn by the donor.

These donations from rich Twitch viewers have been around since 2012. Even then there were mysterious businessmen who donated extremely large sums to their favorite streamers. One of the most well-known yet mysterious donors was a Twitch user named Amhai. About his donations to his favorite WoW streamers at the time even the British television broadcaster BBC paid attention and the authors studied the phenomenon. Said Amhai, and one of the biggest YouTubers, often features in the list of top ten Twitch donations that we look at below.

The 10 biggest donations on Twitch – from $10,000 to $1 million

10. LegendaryLea – $22,000

In 2014, a Twitch user donated the largest amount ever paid to a streamer. streamer LegendaryLea received a total of 22,000 dollars in a short time. As Vice reportsthe user with the name iNexus_Ninja actually just wanted to play a trick on the streamer and immediately withdraw the donation via PayPal.

Apparently he just wanted to see the streamer’s reaction and get attention. However, he did the bill without Paypal. The money was not returned and the transaction was completed.

9. SpaceLyon – $30,000

YouTuber MrBeast was already known for his crazy videos and records in 2017. MrBeast now reaches more than a billion people per month across all of its YouTube channels not only recreates Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory with the money he earnsbut also uses his money for a good cause and planted 20 million trees.

In late 2017, he made an aspiring streamer called SpaceLyon a joy and donated $30,000 to him. You can see the reaction in the video above. This sum broke the previous record for the largest donation to a Twitch streamer up to that point.

8. CohhCarnage – $32,000

Twitch Streamer cohhcarnage is known for his charitable activities, for which he regularly raises money on Twitch. During a charity event at Gaming Community Expo, a Twitch viewer directly donated $32,000. You can see the amazed reaction of the streamer in the video above,

7. Ninja – $50,000

The following record was also broken by MrBeast. For more than a day, he kept donating larger sums to what is still the biggest Twitch streamer ninja. At the end of the day, Ninja received $50,000 in donations from MrBeast.

6. Sodapoppin – $57,000

MrBeast’s donations were the largest single donation total at the time, but technically the record for largest Twitch donation total was broken back in 2013. The (supposedly Qatari prince) Amhai, who was addressed in advance, donated to the popular Twitch streamer Sodapoppin within a short time, initially donations of 10,000 dollars and in the end even amounting to 21,000 dollars. In total, the mysterious Amhai, whose identity is still unknown, gave Sodapoppin $57,000.

This gave Sodapoppin, who was still very young at the time, the chance to move out of his parents’ four walls and really got his career as a Twitch streamer rolling. After his breakthrough in 2013, the former WoW and now Variety streamer is one of the best-known streamers on Twitch. He became known for his skills in the WoW arena. For the next donation, a streamer also had to prove skill. Because that was a prerequisite for the hefty donation.
