How Does Dream Make Money?
While the exact number of Dream’s net worth isn’t known we can make an educated guess based on a couple of factors. First, we need to figure out how, and where Dream increases his net worth.
Dream makes a living from his YouTube videos, Twitch, Patreon, and merchandising.
Twitch channel
As a Twitch streamer, Dream earns money from subscribers, donations, and advertising. Revenue on Twitch usually depends on how many subscribers you have and how many people watch your Stream.
YouTube
Most think the money Dream makes mainly comes from YouTube. Dream’s YouTube Channels are:
- Dream.
- DreamXD.
- Dream Team.
- Dream Shorts
- Dream Music
- Dream Tech
- Minecraft Manhunt
His main channel has the most net worth value, as some of his other Youtube channels are basically dead.
Patreon
Any modern Youtube Channel has a Patreon since ads only generate revenue when you have millions of viewers.
As of October of 2021, Dream has around 776 monthly patreons with only 3 tiers of donations: $5, $19.99, and $35 dollars.
Merchandising
Dream has his ownpersonal shop, he sells limited edition clothing that is regularly sold out. The fees go from $20 to $45 dollars and do not include shipping. Their best-sold products are hoodies that go for $45.
According to acompany specialized in selling affordable clothing to be re-sold, the price of a hoodie is around $20, meaning that Dream gains $25 for each hoodie sold. If we subtract $10 from operational expenses, that’s $15 per hoodie. He does the operation byhimself.
How Much Money Does Dream Make From Twitch Streaming?
Let’s break down all sources of income Twitch generates for Dream.
Affiliate marketing
Dream doesn’t put ads on his stream, but he has affiliate links for his setup. He sells a full-streamer setup. All averaging around $1000 worth of equipment. Affiliates usually get 5% of the value of the product, meaning 50 bucks per full set sold.
Now, if only 1% of his 2 millions followers (20,000) bought said equipment yearly, Dream would be getting $1,000,000, or $83,334 monthly rounded up.
Twitch Subs
Twitch pays a minimum of $2.50 per subscriber. After watching the stream for a while, we noticed a flush of roughly 750 subscribers during the first 15 minutes of play, $1875. After that, Dream averaged 6 subscribers per minute for the next 153 minutes; that’s a total of 918 more subscribers or $2295. So $4170 just from his Minecraft video stream.
Twitch Donations
It’s unclear since he only streams once a month and he already has a Patreon set up. If we go by that data, that’s $3,880 minimum. (Jump to Patreon section)
