Ninja got his first taste of the Esports world as a professional Halo player. He went on to become an important character in Cloud 9’s team, following which he took a liking to streaming. Initially, Tyler streamed games like H1Z1 and PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds. However, it wasn’t until Fortnite came around that Ninja became a worldwide phenomenon.

At the time, he went by the name Ninjashyper, which was apt for the character he played. Soon, Tyler was the face of the game and is a major reason for its success. Ninja has gone on to become the richest streamer in the world since then amassing a net worth of $25 million.

Despite the immense amount of wealth he has, Tyler still faces the dilemma of money. According to him, “if you have money, 90% of the time or more, you’ve sacrificed a lot… and then, you have that money and guess what, now you don’t know who to trust.” Blevins even became the first streamer to make 100 million from gaming alone.
