The Twitch streamer Rumathra, known as one of the biggest penny-pinchers in the German streaming scene, recently experienced an expensive surprise. During an outing that initially seemed harmless, he spent far more than he originally expected.
Who is Rumathra?
- Wieland “Rumathra” Welte is known on Twitch for his gaming streams, where he plays games like Valorant, League of Legends, and Among Us.
- In addition to gaming, he also offers Just Chatting streams and shares moments from his private life in vlogs.
- Rumathra started on Twitch in 2016. His popularity grew through collaborations with Trymacs and Rewinside in 2020/2021.
Rumathra is also very close friends with Twitch streamer Trymacs – the two regularly appear together. They participated together in the survival show “7 vs. Wild” and enjoy spending time together privately.
Among the participants of the third season of “7 vs. Wild“, is Twitch streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla. More about that here:
“He’s the biggest penny-pincher on this planet”
What was the excursion like? In a stream, Trymacs mentioned that Rumathra traveled from Cologne to Hamburg for an event and took every opportunity to save money.
Instead of taking the train or his own car, he opted for a cost-effective alternative according to Trymacs: a ride-sharing service called BlaBlaCar. For just 8 euros, he hitched a ride in a Twingo with a retiree.
For his overnight stay in Hamburg, Rumathra also kept the costs as low as possible. According to Trymacs, he slept on the couch of a second retiree and paid only 10 euros per night.
This extraordinary frugality led Trymacs to call Rumathra “the biggest penny-pincher on this planet” – even though the two streamers once had to pay 700 dollars for a restaurant bill.

How did the expensive bill come about? Trymacs went on to say that after the event in Hamburg, Rumathra had to return to Cologne. Coincidentally, Marc Gebauer, a well-known watch collector and businessman, was also on the way there.
According to Trymacs, Marc Gebauer offered to take Rumathra with him. He accepted the offer. Trymacs joked that Rumathra probably thought he could save money this way because he wouldn’t need to buy a train ticket or book another ride with BlaBlaCar.
During the ride, however, Marc Gebauer was able to convince Rumathra to buy one of his expensive watches. The price for this watch was a whopping 35,000 euros. Trymacs, who recounted the story in his stream, commented: “The fact that Marc Gebauer was able to sell Rumathra such an expensive watch in just one car ride is crazy!”
