During an interview at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, Donald Trump was showered with extravagant gifts from streamer Adin Ross, including a Rolex watch and a customized Tesla Cybertruck.
These gifts, potentially violating federal campaign contribution limits, have prompted curiosity about Ross’s net worth.
Adin Ross began his career streaming video games and interacting with musicians and Bronny James, LeBron James’ son, on Twitch, an Amazon-owned platform.
By 2022, Ross was reportedly a millionaire, living a luxurious lifestyle that included a Lamborghini Urus SUV, retailing for over $245,000.
As a Twitch partner, Ross secured endorsement deals from companies like online gambling platform Stake. However, his rising fame brought complications, including multiple bans from streaming sites for showing copyrighted events, streaming explicit content, and hosting controversial figures like white nationalist Nick Fuentes and influencer Andrew Tate, who faces charges of sexual aggression, human trafficking, and rape, which he denies.
Despite these issues, Ross’s earning potential remains strong. In an interview with Jake Paul, Ross addressed rumors of a $100 million deal with Kick, a new streaming platform with fewer content restrictions, after his Twitch ban.
While he claimed the figure was exaggerated, he confirmed a substantial hourly payment deal with Kick.
Such lucrative deals are not unprecedented; fellow Kick streamer xQc has a two-year, $100 million agreement with the platform.
During Monday’s stream, Trump expressed admiration for Ross’s fame and wealth, saying, “My boy said that’s such a big show.
