While others at his age still receive pocket money, a 14-year-old American is living the dream of many Fortnite players and is already earning money from the game – in the six-figure range.
Many Fortnite players dream of this: For numerous passionate streamers and driven content creators, Fortnite is a lucrative source of income that also secures their livelihood.
This is evidenced by one of the most well-known streamers worldwide, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, who earned nearly 7 million dollars in 2018 through his YouTube and Twitch channels focused on Fortnite.
A 14-year-old Fortnite player likely doesn’t have to worry about his pocket money anymore. He is already earning more than 200,000 dollars a year from the game.
Who is it about? Griffin “Sceptic” Spikoski is a 14-year-old American from New York state. He is a passionate Fortnite player and streamer who achieved significant financial success last year.
In 2018, he was able to earn a profit of 200,000 dollars, primarily generated through Twitch and YouTube content related to Fortnite. He already has more than 1.2 million fans following him on YouTube. His videos have been viewed over 71 million times.
This kill changed everything
How did the player become so successful? His steep career began nearly 9 months ago when Spikoski uploaded a video of himself eliminating Tfue, another very well-known Fortnite player. This video turned his life upside down. The clip has since gained over 7.5 million views and helped Sceptic firmly establish himself among the Fortnite elite.
Since then, Spikoski has consistently honed his skills. On a normal day, he plays up to 8 hours daily, and on weekends, it can be even up to 18 hours. He now considers his passion to be a job.
At 14 already 2 consultants
How Spikoski is supported by his family: According to Griffin, he plays quite a lot. However, his parents support his passion.
For instance, they enabled him to attend an online school since his life with a traditional high school visit had become hardly feasible. Additionally, they hired a financial accountant and a business advisor to ensure his income is managed accordingly.

What Spikoski wants to do with his money: The teenager wants to save his earned money not to waste it but rather for college or later for a house – as long as his success continues.
