Valkyrae Just Accidentally Leaked Her YouTube Earnings
Rachel "Valkyrae" Hofstetter has taken the world by storm this year. Having skyrocketed to stardom by streaming a variety of popular games and other content, the Washington-born sweetheart has won the hearts of millions of fans by showcasing her infectious personality and hilarious gimmicks.
Having joined 100 Thieves in the summer of 2020 as a content creator, Valkyrae has since become one of the most popular names in gaming, even picking up the accolade of "Streamer of the Year". The award was quite unanimous, as her staggering climb to the top of the YouTube and Twitch kingdoms is a credit to her relentless work ethic.
That just begs one question, with all of these eyes on her content, how much does Valkyrae earn?
Well, the answer is, quite simply, a lot.
How much does Valkyrae earn?
Leaked via herself on stream, Valkyrae let slip that her YouTube earnings in the last 28 days amounted to a whopping $172,908.21 USD. In just FOUR weeks. What's even more staggering is that this is actually a 6% decrease on her previous 28 days, which would have meant she'd have surpassed $180,000 in November too.

Taking into consideration her steep incline this year, her earnings at the start of the year would have been significantly less, however, should her popularity have been the same as this month, she'd have earnt a whopping $2,247,806.73 in a year.
This is off YouTube alone too. Valkyrae will likely earn a salary from 100 Thieves on top of her YouTube income, and also receives donations when live streaming.
With her popularity still increasing too, her capital investment is sure to keep growing.
A fellow housemate of Valkyrae, Imane "Pokimane" Anys, became the first Twitch streamer to cap her Twitch donations to $5, although her income is of similar stature.
