Popular Kick streamer Trainwreck certainly isn’t poor by any stretch of the imagination, as he owns a $12m apartment, has cars worth seven figures, and claimed just a few days ago that he’s the highest-paid streamer in the world.
However, he revealed during a Kick stream on Thursday that he’s nowhere near as rich as people think he is due to his gambling activity:
Most fans assume he has hundreds of millions of dollars because of his lucrative deals with Stake and Kick. While we don’t know the specifics of these arrangements, we know that xQc has a non-exclusive two-year deal with Kick worth up to $100m.

Trainwreck appears to be cash-poor, as he often digs into his Bitcoin wallet or next month’s payments from his partners to continue gambling when his losses start mounting. He questioned if he’s actually made any money at all over these past three years of gambling.
He concluded the clip by saying that “gambling is losing” and clarified that he doesn’t need financial support from anyone. The 34-year-old on Tuesday revealed that the thrill he gets from gambling is trying to come back from big losses, rather than actually winning, which is a sign of problematic behavior.
