Initially, Kaitlyn started as a cosplay model on Instagram almost a decade ago. She was also associated with the Houston Grand Opera and House Ballet’s department for a number of years, thus earning a notable name for herself. She ultimately started live streaming on Twitch in 2017 and since then, has taken the platform by storm. Especially in the last three to four years, while attracting an unmatched exposure.
Thanks to her consistency in terms of streaming, Amouranth has managed to amass a huge fanbase so far. She streams nearly every day, 70 hours a week, while having an average of nearly 9,000 viewers as per TwitchMetrics. Moreover, the kind of ‘suggestive’ content that she creates has its own audience, thus boosting her online presence even more.
Amouranth’s strategies to become famous online
Amouranth is someone who always keeps making transitions between different categories. She rose to prominence with her cosplays and ASMR content on Twitch. However, she also gained popularity in categories relating to animals, aquariums, and zoos. And also for playing video games like Just Dance. As a gamer, she is sometimes seen playing Fortnite, and even Nintendo’s Mario Kart 8, according to TwitchTracker.
She knows how to find trending metas and then makes her own content based on them. For example, her stint in Hot Tub streams has resulted in an increased viewership for not just herself but for Twitch as well. Yes, the platform generally tries to prohibit streams based on such categories, but one cannot deny that it benefits from Kaitlyn’s presence and her viewers.
Then there are other businesses as well which Amouranth has entered recently. Like buying a gas station in Kum and Go for a whopping $8 million. Not just that, a year ago, she even made an investment in the 7-11 gas station for $10 million.
What’s the total net worth of Amouranth in 2022?
There’s no doubt that the popular streamer has made a good fortune in her career in the last five years. To be precise, she has a massive net worth ranging between $20-25 million as of 2022, according to Givemesport. It implies that many other top female Twitch stars are nowhere near what Amouranth.
For the sake of comparison, even someone like Pokimane is way behind Kaitlyn. Imane has got a net worth of only $2-3 million, according to The Loadout. That’s clear proof of Amouranth’s undisputed reign among all the other creators. Not just creators, but she’s even ahead of a renowned sportsperson like Mike Tyson who’s currently having a net worth of $10 million, according to Parade.
Controversies don’t affect Amouranth too much
Being an inevitable figure that she is, for the content that she creates, it’s hard to be away from the public eye. Due to the ‘suggestive’ streams, Amouranth keeps coming across incidents where she ends up getting bans and suspensions from Twitch. It has happened a lot, in fact, very frequently.

Apart from that, she has come under scrutiny in public as well. A gym owner once asked her to stop filming as the people present in the gym felt uncomfortable. Moreover, she was also among those streamers who did Hot Tub streams while chatting.
In an interview with Refinery29, the Twitch star revealed that she feels that some of the reactions from certain people towards her are biased. Because they think that her streams are not ideal to be watched due to being ‘suggestive’.
