In the ever-growing and ever-evolving world of streaming and gaming, there are streamers with millions of followers who are known all over the world. And there are rising stars who already have hundreds of thousands of followers but are still on their way to a big success.
And today, we are talking about one of them, Riley, who is a top 500 peak support player and an overwatch content creator.
It’s interesting to read the stories of the success of the streamers who are already known all over the world. But it’s even more inspiring to read the stories of those who are in the process of having stars aligned for them and to observe their hard work, dedication, persistence, and experiments with different styles and formats.
Because as we know, success is a journey, not a destination. And today, we are talking about the streamer who embraces this motto. So Riley, here we go.
Personal Life
It’s funny that the first thing followers are usually interested in is the personal lives of their favorite gamers and streamers. And honestly, it’s understandable. Because behind each celebrity, we want to see real people, a genuine picture. A person with their victories and losses, strong and weak sides.
But sadly for Riley’s big fan base, we don’t know much about her personal and love life. She has a boyfriend but she has been hiding him all this time, so his name has not been publicly revealed just yet.
What we do know is that Riley’s full name is Elizabeth and she is from Austin, Texas. Her real age is also a mystery to all her followers. Yes we know, girls don’t usually like to talk about their age, yet people believe she looks quite young, so she might be in her 20-s. There are even allegations that her birthday is on the 1st of May, 2023. But we can’t confirm or deny this fact just yet.
How It All Started
Riley’s interest in Overwatch 2 started when she was just 17 years old. It’s amazing to see that many gamers chose streaming and gaming as their occupation because of the love for games they started having while being a child or a teenager.
Basically, the main goal of streaming for Riley was to help people learn how to play games and improve their skills. The real breakthrough moment came in 2018 when she got a significant number of followers on Twitch and has been growing her audience ever since.
How Long Are Her Streams?
Riley is a top 500 peak support player, she also enjoys Apex Legends & World of Warcraft. If you go to her Twitch profile, you can notice that she never leaves her followers hanging for a long time without content. She streams every two days and her streams usually get around 3-5 thousand of views. If that’s not a good job, I don’t know what!
The time of her streams varies a lot, from 2 to even 10 and a half hours. How crazy is that! Imagine how hard it is to stream for 10 hours. But as we all know hard work pays off, and here’s how it worked out for her:
- She earns $500 from Twitch every month;
- Riley makes $70 from the Twitch affiliate program;
- Another $430 from donations and subscriptions;
- By treating her channel as a business and using a multiplier of 8, her estimated net worth is $48,000.
As you can see, the grind is real, but so are the rewards.
