The 18-year-old Cody “Clix” Conrad is a professional player of Fortnite and the most successful Twitch streamer of the successful online shooter. The young man lost his temper live on Twitch on December 17, shouting at alleged cheaters to watch his stream: There, he showed his balance of over 14 million US dollars.
These are the details of the incident:
- The stream took place on December 17. Clix was angry on Twitter about encountering three cheaters in a row in Fortnite. He urged Epic to finally intervene.
- In the Twitch stream, he shouted: “You fucking cheaters: Open my stream, open my stream right now. I’ll show you something.” He then flashed his account balance of 14,704,225 US dollars and 32 cents.
- In euros, this amounts to: 13,439,661 euros and 94 cents. To reach such an amount, a German employee would have to work for a median of 302 years at the annual average salary of 44,407 euros.
We have already reported on Clix at MeinMMO and how the young man shapes his life:
Clix was already a successful Twitch streamer and eSports professional at 14
Who is Clix and why does he have so much money? Clix is the rare case of a popular Twitch streamer who successfully plays Fortnite professionally. Usually, it is like this:
- Rather older players are successful on Twitch but are not good enough to convince in Fortnite eSports. A prime example of this type of player is Ninja, who in 2019 failed to qualify for the Fortnite World Cup despite his best efforts.
- Younger players, on the other hand, are successful in eSports but do not have the entertainment skills to really build a lasting career on Twitch.
Cody “Clix” Conrod took over the mantle as the most successful Twitch streamer of Fortnite after Tfue and Ninja, having also earned $411,781 with Fortnite as an eSports title. Most of the prize money, more than half, he had already secured at the age of 14:
- He finished 18th in the Fortnite World Cup and took home $112,500 in solo competition.
- He received $50,000 for participating in the duo competition of the Fortnite World Cup.
Most of his money will have been generated as a content creator: Clix has 6.8 million subscribers on Twitch and an average of 21,500 viewers. Clix has been successful on Twitch since 2019, so a lot of money has likely accumulated over the years.
Here is the clip where Clix freaks out and shows his account balance:
“And you keep donating to streamers …”
How is the clip being discussed? The clip showing Clix revealing his account balance has already garnered 6 million views and over 600 comments on Twitter . Comments include:
- “And you keep donating to streamers to make them even richer”
- “Bro got so mad over a game”
- “You donate your money to guys sitting in their room who already have more money than you at birth, and you think they stay humble”
