Content creators come from all sorts of different backgrounds. Some were born to entertain, others grinded through competitive esports, others started selling fast food.

Much 100 Thieves owner Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag who started at McDonald's before becoming OpTic's poster boy, NRG wizard Brandon "Aceu" Winn used to spend his days whizzing around greasy grub.

Now one of the best Apex Legends players on the planet and a tyrant in multiple FPS games, Aceu has come a long way since delivering pizzas, signing for NRG and bringing in a different type of dough.

Aceu Reveals How Much He Earns

In a 'motivational' tweet, aimed at inspiring "stuck" fans, Aceu admitted he used to make $2k a month struggling to pay for dinner.

Nowadays, the content creator earns a whopping $100k a month from streaming and an NRG contract, on top of any prize money earned from competing.

The full-time content creator also defended his transparency, saying "if more people were open with their contracts, then everything would be more fair for everyone."

How does Aceu earn so much?

Aceu undoubtedly has a wealthy contract at NRG, but most of his pocket change will filter through from his content. 

With 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube, Aceu's videos often hit north of 500k views, with YouTube advertising revenue creating a large mountain in his wallet.

Aceu also streams on Twitch, where he averages roughly 300k viewers nearly every day. With donations and subscribers, his content alone will stand for the majority of his $100k a month.

Certainly beats having a car smell like pepperoni...
