Félix “xQc” Lengyel is a former professional Overwatch player from Quebec who built a top-tier live streaming audience and then signed a nine-figure-potential contract with Twitch rival Kick in 2023. Is there a reliable figure for xQc net worth? No. Nobody among the publications that track wealth, Forbes and Bloomberg included, has produced one. The documented numbers are a Forbes yearly earnings figure, $36M on the 2024 Top Creators list, and a Kick contract his agent valued at $70 million with incentives up to $100 million.
Where it stands: The latest earnings estimate on his Forbes profile dates from October 2024, and Dexerto reported in September 2024 that Lengyel was unsure whether he would renew with Kick once the two-year deal ran out. Terms of any renewal have not been reported by a major outlet.

Who is xQc?
xQc is a Canadian variety streamer whose broadcasts mix multiplayer games with other content, including slot-machine streams that Forbes has noted. Shacknews described him in 2023 as a former Overwatch pro turned streaming superstar. Forbes ranked him among Twitch’s most popular personalities worldwide and noted that he deliberately keeps a lighter sponsorship load because he does not want streaming to feel like a job.
From Overwatch pro to streaming star
Lengyel first drew attention as a competitive Overwatch player before shifting full time to streaming. By mid-2023 Bleacher Report counted close to 12 million Twitch followers and called him a contender for the platform’s most popular streamer. In June 2023 he became the face of a much smaller rival platform.
- June 2023: Fans noticed a subscribe button on a Kick account in his name on June 16, 2023, Dexerto reported, and the deal was confirmed the same week.
- 2024: Forbes ranked him on its Top Creators list with estimated earnings of $36M.
- September 2024: Asked on stream about renewing with Kick, he said, “I don’t know what the future looks like,” according to Dexerto.
The Kick deal: what the $70 million and $100 million figures mean
The two numbers describe the same contract. Speaking to The New York Times, his agent Ryan Morrison put the deal at $70 million over two years, adding that incentives could lift it to $100 million, Bleacher Report reported. Forbes later described it as a two-year contract worth an estimated $70 million. The agency that negotiated it, Evolved Talent Agency, referred to it as a “$100 million Kick deal” in a January 2024 press release, using the top-end figure.
The contract was non-exclusive, so he could keep streaming on Twitch, YouTube and TikTok. In a statement quoted by Dexerto, he said Kick was “allowing me to try and do things I haven’t been able to before.” The incentive terms, payment schedule and any conditions have not been published, so how much of the $100 million ceiling he actually received is not known. Dexerto reported that he had said he was paid over 24 months.
Platform economics help explain the price. The New York Times reported that Twitch takes 50 percent of most streamers’ subscription earnings while Kick takes only 5 percent, according to Bleacher Report’s summary.
How does xQc make money?
His documented income lines are a platform contract, viewer subscriptions on Twitch and Kick, and a deliberately small number of sponsorships. Forbes’ estimate of $36M for its 2024 list wraps those together and measures roughly one year of gross earnings. According to Forbes, his daily audience runs to the thousands, watching him on digital slots and in multiplayer titles such as Rocket League.
Gambling streams, as reported
Gambling content is a recurring part of coverage of his career and his deals. Stake, a crypto casino based in Curaçao, sponsored Lengyel, and in 2022 he said he had wagered more than $685 million over the course of that partnership, Tubefilter reported. Wagering volume counts every bet placed, including money won and bet again, so it is not a measure of losses or income.
PC Gamer reported that in May 2022 he acknowledged losing roughly $2 million on bets in the previous month. Twitch later restricted streams of unlicensed slots, roulette and dice sites, a policy that covered Stake. PC Gamer also noted that Kick co-founder and CEO Ed Craven co-founded Stake, and that Kick, unlike Twitch, has a dedicated gambling category. None of these reports allege that he broke any law.
xQc net worth: the known figures
Every dollar figure attached to xQc in reputable reporting is either a contract value or an earnings estimate. Neither is a measure of net worth, which means assets minus debts.
| Figure | What it is | Source |
|---|---|---|
| $70 million | Kick contract base, 2 years (agent) | NYT via Bleacher Report, 2023 |
| $100 million | Contract ceiling with incentives | NYT via Bleacher Report, 2023 |
| $36M | Estimated earnings, 2024 list | Forbes |
| Not published | Net worth | None |
A contract value is gross pay before taxes and agent fees, and an earnings estimate does not subtract spending, losses or costs. Reported gambling losses also complicate any guess about what he has kept. For those reasons this profile does not estimate his wealth.
