Ninja shares a nostalgic moment as he talks about how he reached this stage in life!
The sole reason for what Ninja is today is because of his father. He considers him his biggest support as the duo shares a common love for video games. Ninja revealed this on a Halo stream a few years back.

While talking about his father, he said, ‘He loved video games when they started to come out, and he would purchase them for us, but really we would go to bed around as early as you can imagine when we were little, 6 p.m., 7 p.m., 8 p.m. …. He would play on the consoles until 2 or 3 a.m. in the morning.’

And look how well that worked out! Ninja is one of the richest and most popular streamers in the world. He has over 20 million subscribers on YouTube and 18.2 million followers on Twitch, far more than a few streamers combined. His wife, Jessica Blevins, told CNBC that her husband entered the millionaire club back in 2017 through Fortnite. Now, five years later, Ninja has a net worth of approximately $40 million.
On that note, we would like to wish Ninja a happy birthday and more and more years of grand success.
