Ninja reveals how much he gets paid from Fortnite

One of the most lingering questions within the Fortnite Community might always have been about Ninja’s income from Fortnite. However, the truth is that he does not earn anything directly from Epic Games because he is not under any contract with them. He says, “I don’t think I’ve been paid by them to do anything ever. Other than what they have done for everyone which is the support a creator code where you can use code NINJA and or code, you know, whatever creator you wanna support and that’s not you know, they didn’t pay me for that. So no, Fortnite has not paid me ‘sad face’.”
