The top 7 donations made Twitch streamers cry

The streaming industry is built on the belief that whatever the stream streams must be content worth watching. While some streamers deliver on a high-end streaming promise, others sometimes lack the overall experience or charm to attract more subscribers. And amidst all of that, there’s also a culture of donating money to streamers on platforms like Twitch to help them do even better.

So it’s not surprising that sometimes a random fan or big streamer starts donating money to streamers, sometimes even transforming their lives. From $5,000 to $1,000,000, here are the top 10 donations to Twitch streamers of all time.

Sowz receives a $5,000 donation

Sowz was one of the early Twitch streamers with around 34,000 followers when he left the platform for good in 2020. But five years ago, in 2017, during one of his Let’s Play streams where he was playing DayZ, one of his top followers, StaarBomb started donating money.

At first it was $500 but after a while he started donating huge amounts of money while eventually donating $5000 at a time. That donation left Sowz speechless as he sat in his chair and reflected on what had just happened. Remarkably, this was one of the best streams as he made nearly $20,000 on that stream alone.

PotasticP receives a $5000 donation

With 365,000 followers, PotasticP is a relatively small streamer known for her Let’s Play and Chat streams. During one of her streams with her sister who was cooking dinner for her birthday, a follower named Altinaorion donated $5000 to her and wished her a happy birthday.

Although she almost lost her composure, her sister supported her in persevering. You did something too “Special” for the audience that made for a sweet moment for their fans.

Dinglederper receives a donation of 10,000 dollars

Diglederper is one of the most reported streamers on Twitch. She even accepts that she is one of the most hated streamers on the platform. That being said, she recently gained some traction when a fan named Young Moolah donated $10,000 during one of her streams.

While playing CS:GO, a notification popped up saying $10,000. When Dinglederper saw this notification, she almost lost her breath and started to cry because she couldn’t believe her eyes.

TrainwrecksTV donates $64,000 worth of Bitcoin to a mother-son duo

TrainwrecksTV is one of the most controversial twitch channels on the entire platform. This is due to its gambling stream, which many consider unethical. But during one of a little streamer’s streams, Trainwreck saw that he and his mom might be struggling with some finances.

So he decides to give them a bitcoin, which was around $64,000 at the time. He then goes on to say that they can split the money between themselves and continue creating content at their own pace. When the mother heard this, she was already in tears and couldn’t believe this was a real thing.

Exotic Chaotic Receives $75,000 Donation

During one of his Fortnite streams while still a professional player and member of the ESL, Exotic Chaotic received a $75,000 donation that nearly made him cry with happiness. He was playing a popular game when suddenly a fan named King Mascot accidentally donated $75,000 to him when he stopped by for another game.

Chaotic wasn’t sure at first, but after a few rounds around his room, when he finally checked his PayPal account, he discovered the donation was indeed true.

Valkyrae receives a $200,000 donation

During a charity stream in 2021, Queen of YouTube streamed Valkyrae to help Jacksepticeye raise money for houses to be donated to the homeless. During this stream, someone anonymously donated $200,000 to Valkyrae who was just trying to raise $100,000 for the charity.

After the donation was made, Valkyrae was in awe and completely incredulous that someone had haphazardly donated such a huge sum just to help people. This kind gesture was so heartbreaking that she cried live on stream. Valkyrae migrated from Twitch to YouTube in 2020.

DrLupo receives a $1,000,000 donation from Twitch itself

During one of his charity streams in 2019, DrLupo streamed to raise $200,000 for terminally ill children and send the money to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. That stream was doing really well, but still had close to $100,000 when his wife walked into his room with a gift-wrapped, box-like item.

When DrLupo unwrapped the gift, he found it was a check for $1,000,000 from Twitch itself. Afterwards, he became very emotional at the gesture and was in complete disbelief. However, in 2021, DrLupo switched from Twitch to YouTube, becoming the largest Twitch streamer to do so.
