The rise of the gaming industry regarding factors like streaming is booming at the moment. Compared to entertainment canons like movies, television shows, or even books, content creation is now trying to pave a path to the top. With each passing day, new talented creators join the mix, and we got to see legends like Ninja [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyler-ninja-blevins/] rise up the ladder through his Fortnite [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fortnite/] streams. With that thought in mind let us look at the time when Steve Harvey was shocked to hear how much a content creator like Ninja makes. THE MEMORABLE ENCOUNTER OF STEVE HARVEY WITH FORTNITE LEGEND NINJA Steve Harvey is a legend in the television entertainment space. His charismatic energy and friendliness is well known to the fans, making him one of the most adored hosts in the field. Interestingly, Harvey had met with Ninja not once, but twice. Richard Tyler Blevins, popularly known as Ninja is one of the most renowned gaming content creators in the world. He once featured in an episode of Family Feud, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-watch-twitch-star-ninjas-family-feud-appearances-4-years-apart-change-steve-harveys-impression-of-him/]where Steve Harvey got quite confused hearing Ninja’s passion. During his conversation with the Fortnite icon, he asked Ninja what he does for a living, to which Ninja replied he played games. Harvey, in his typical comedic manner, replied, ” You need to get a f*****g job.” [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210324101716/ninja-leaving-twitch-mixer-e1564686509917-1.jpg] Fast forwarding a few years, he met Ninja again a night before a Super Bowl. Harvey was handing out the NFL Honors when he had a hilarious moment. While Harvey was announcing Ninja’s name the teleprompter abruptly glitched, and Steve was confused about how to announce Ninja’s name. What followed changed Harvey’s perception of the entire eSports and gaming industry. Interestingly, on the day of the Super Bowl, Harvey again met Ninja, who was in a suite near him. When Steve asked how much Ninja makes through video games, the answer made Harvey’s jaw drop. According to Steve, Ninja makes around 1 to 1.5 million dollars a month. Furthermore, Ninja told Harvey that when he asked him to quit video games and get a job, it pushed him even further in the gaming industry. After this encounter with Ninja, Steve Harvey was dazzled by the reach of the gaming industry. He was intrigued by the concept of stream donations. Kick’s Unstable Revenue Model [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-reality-check-about-to-happen-fortnite-icon-ninja-weighs-in-on-kicks-unstable-revenue-model/] Harvey even expressed his interest in funding gamers and eSports organizations after that unique encounter with the Fortnite Legend. The eSports and content industry is still growing at rocket speed, even challenging popular mainstream modes of entertainment.

<h2>Ninja 2021: Net worth, sponsors, and streaming platform</h2>
Richard Tyler Blevins, better known as Ninja, is a gamer and full-time streamer, but he is so much more. Over the last few years, he has transcended the gaming industry and become a modern-day pop icon.

Ninja started off on his gaming journey as a competitive player and represented various eSports <a href="https://www.esportspedia.com/halo/Ninja">organizations</a> like Cloud9, Team Liquid, Renegades, and Luminosity Gaming. Having kick-started his professional career with Halo 3, he also competed in games like H1Z1 and PlayerUnknown's Battleground.

Ninja gave in to the gradually growing trend of streaming in 2011, balancing it alongside his competitive ventures. However, he was one among a sea of streamers, trying to make it big.

All that changed in 2017 when he took up a certain game called Fortnite Battle Royale.

Ninja and Fortnite had something of a symbiotic success. Both parties simply exploded in popularity, becoming contemporary icons. In 2020, Epic Games released a 'Ninja' skin in Fortnite, which we can surely consider to be recognition of his contribution.

While the two are no longer as inseparable as they once were, the bond remains.
<h2>A move that shocked the world</h2>
Twitch, the world's biggest streaming platform, was also home to the biggest streamer on the globe, once. Ninja was its crown jewel with a mind-boggling 14 million+ followers.

In 2019, though, the unthinkable happened as the blue-haired streamer announced he was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_(gamer)">quitting</a> Twitch for the fairly new platform, Mixer.

After Mixer shut down, Ninja has streamed on both Twitch and YouTube. It is still unclear what his final decision would be.
<h2>Ninja net worth in 2021</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/rock-stars/tyler-ninja-blevins-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CelebrityNetWorth</a>, Ninja's net worth is estimated to be around $15 million. An exclusivity contract with Microsoft's Mixer, reported to be between $20-30 million will only add to it in the following years.
