The Luxembourgish Twitch-streamer LetsHugo had a successful stay in Madeira, producing content daily and generating considerable income. You can find out how much he earned just from advertising in one week on MeinMMO.
With nearly a million followers on Twitch and an ever-growing fanbase, the Luxembourgish streamer LetsHugo has firmly established himself in the German streaming scene. Known for his humorous and somewhat scatterbrained style, he regularly captivates thousands of viewers.
What makes LetsHugo so special? After dropping out of school after the 9th grade to fully dedicate himself to streaming, LetsHugo initially started with a small audience of 10 viewers on average.
However, through regular streaming, especially of games like Minecraft and Just Chatting, his community grew rapidly. By October 2022, he had already reached a consistent viewership of several hundred people.
His breakthrough came in March 2023, when he participated in the “No Food Challenge” of his colleague Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler.

Almost €3,000 in just one week from advertising
How much did Hugo earn on his last trip? Recently, LetsHugo spent a week in Madeira, which, according to his statements, was costly, but it paid off for him in terms of content production. He took his viewers live along on Twitch every day and generated significant income.
In total, he earned €5,393.32 on Twitch alone during this week from March 2nd to March 9th. Together with the income generated from the resulting YouTube videos, these earnings covered the costs of the trip, according to his statement.
How much did he earn from advertising? The earnings from advertising during his stay in Madeira were impressive. On the very first day, he earned €500, followed by €300 on the second day. On the third day, the earnings rose back to €500, followed by €700 on the fourth day.
Although advertising revenue declined slightly on the following days – €50 on the fifth day and €210 on the sixth day – he achieved significant earnings of €700 again on the last day just from advertising. In total, his advertising revenue during that week amounted to nearly €3,000.
However, LetsHugo himself emphasizes that this week was particularly strong. Since he usually primarily conducts gaming and Just Chatting streams, the IRL streams where he guided his viewers live on the island were a special highlight.

LetsHugo underestimates his own success
What does LetsHugo say about it? According to his statement, he recorded three times as many viewers as usual. According to Twitchtracker, he streamed a total of 41 hours during that week and had an average of 5,000 viewers.
Comparing this with the previous week from February 24th to March 2nd, in which he streamed for 37 hours and had almost 4,000 viewers on average, LetsHugo’s statement is not entirely accurate.
His viewers also noticed this and pointed it out to him, after which he checked the numbers and realized for himself how successful he actually is.
LetsHugo cannot assess his own success
What is problematic about this? LetsHugo has always shown difficulty in assessing sums of money and understanding his success. After dropping out of school after the 9th grade to focus directly on Twitch, he has never worked for an employer and thus never earned a fixed income.
This lack of experience in dealing with money became evident when he reacted to a YouTube video by content creator “Dave” during a stream on October 23, 2023. In the video, Dave explained that he and his friends had quit their “well-paid jobs in renowned companies” to work full-time for their startup that they financed with €200,000.
LetsHugo commented on this, saying: “Well-paid, yeah yeah, €10 an hour. Oh, wait, that’s actually well paid. Hold on, is it? I’m not really sure.” He didn’t seem very certain about what amount is typically considered a good income.
Another example of LetsHugo’s ignorance about the value of money was a TikTok video that sparked discussions in his community. In the clip, he reacted to a reality TV show where a participant considered €1,500 to be a lot of money and pointed out how much work one would have to do for that.
LetsHugo reacted casually and stated that this is the amount he earns with a single stream. Even though it’s hard to be sure how seriously the streamer means some statements, it still gives the impression of a lack of experience and a limited understanding of financial matters.
