Call of Duty world champion Seth ‘Scump’ Abner recently shared the most he’s made from a single Twitch stream. The amount is impressive, surpassing what many earn in a full year.
Known as one of the greatest Call of Duty players ever, Scump has multiple championships under his belt. Including a world title and a Warzone World Series win. He’s a well-known figure in gaming and has built a solid content creation career. Though he hasn’t reached the following of top Twitch stars like Kai Cenat or xQc. Still, his streams bring in significant revenue.
In a November 6 video, while playing a game of Truth Pong with fellow OpTic Gaming members. Scump revealed he made “around $55,000” from one stream. For context, that’s close to the average annual salary in the U.S. of about $68,000 and even exceeds the average income in some states like West Virginia, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
The exact breakdown of this $55,000 stream wasn’t discussed, so it’s unclear if it came from sponsorships, subscriptions, donations, or a mix. Scump, often noted for his frugality by both friends and himself. Even requested the number be bleeped out, but his OpTic teammates thought it was excellent content and didn’t agree.
While streamers rarely disclose earnings from individual streams, xQc did reveal he made $9 million on Twitch in a year, and FaZe Ronaldo recently shared that his September 2024 subathon brought in around $1.2 million.
