Rachell "Valkyrae" Hofstetter is one of the world's top video game streamers. More recently known for some of the Among Us streams she's been a part of, Valkyrae is one of the fastest-growing streamers, and was recently honored with the Content Creator of the Year award at The Game Awards 2020. As can be expected from someone with this much success, Valkyrae is making a lot of money from her YouTube channel, and now an exact number has leaked online.

During a recent stream, Valkyrae accidentally leaked her YouTube revenue for the past month. Apparently, Valkyrae made $172,908.21 in the last month, with analytics indicating that this significant number is actually somewhat less than she earned in the previous month. And this is only taking into account the money she is making from her YouTube channel views. It doesn't include money Valkyrae makes from sponsorships and other deals she has, so it's safe to say that she's one of the world's top-earning streamers.

While Valkyrae is making a significant impact on YouTube, she isn't the highest-earning YouTuber. In fact, Valkyrae doesn't even appear to be in the top 10 earners when it comes to the video hosting site.

 

According to Forbes, the top-earning YouTube star is quite likely Ryan Kaji, a 9 year old boy known for his channel Ryan's World. This means that Kaji is earning more than some of YouTube's biggest stars, such as David Dobrik, Mr Beast, and even PewDiePie. PewDiePie has the distinction of being the second-most subscribed YouTube channel at 108 million subscribers, behind only T-Series, which has a staggering 165 million subscribers at the time of this writing. By comparison, Valkyrae has 2.6 million subscribers, so her channel still has significant room for growth in the years ahead.

As long as Valkyrae keeps doing what she's doing, she really should have no problem taking her channel to new heights. She regularly plays popular games, like the aforementioned Among Us, and she does so with other top streamers. These efforts combined with public recognition like winning Content Creator of the Year at The Game Awards will go a long way in growing Valkyrae's brand name even further and boost her monthly earnings from not just YouTube, but her other income sources as well.

Valkyrae's content currently consists mostly of Among Us, but she has played a variety of other games in the past, ranging from casual games like Fall Guys to more hardcore titles like League of Legends. A key to Valkyrae's popularity is keeping up with the hottest games and trends, and fans can expect her to keep doing that moving forward.
