Who is Amouranth? Viral streamer returns to Twitch after profiting $38 million off Kick
Kaitlyn Siragusa, better known as Amouranth, is one of the internet's most recognized and controversial live streamers. Known for her blend of gaming content, IRL streaming, ASMR and modelling, she built a massive following on Twitch before diversifying to platforms like OnlyFans and later, Kick. Her popularity soared in 2020 and 2021, when she became one of Twitch's highest-earning female streamers, according to Dexerto.
Despite several bans over policy violations, she continued to dominate viewership charts. In 2023, she signed with Kick, a rival streaming platform backed by Stake, shortly after xQc's $100 million deal made waves. While her contract figures weren't disclosed, Amouranth told Dexerto it had 'doubled' her income.
On June 19, Siragusa confirmed she is leaving Kick and making her return to Twitch. In a humorous video posted to X, she is seen refuelling a green car with a 'Kick Com' plate, telling someone on the phone, 'I'm on my way after I refuel a bit. Be there soon.' The car then morphs into a purple vehicle-Twitch's signature colour- as a Spongebob-style screen reads '$38 million later.'
While it is unclear whether she will stream exclusively on Twitch or adopt a multistreaming model, her return stream is scheduled for June 20.
Amouranth's presence on YouTube has been significantly limited. The Google-owned platform banned her main account over 'ban evasion' after earlier removing her ASMR channel for 'sexual content.' Given that, any future multistreaming is expected to exclude YouTube.
Even in her absence, Amouranth has remained a top name in online entertainment-drawing millions across various platforms and continuing to monetise her brand through content, partnerships, and subscription services.
Amouranth, whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa, is a popular Twitch streamer and content creator known for her live streams, cosplay, and ASMR videos.
While not confirmed, her June 19 video suggests she is moving on from Kick after reportedly earning $38 million there.
Her return stream is set for June 20, 2025.

Squid Game actor Lee Byung-hun reveals how his son called him out for being 'bad' in the show: 'Why are you so mean?'
On The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Squid Game star Lee Byung-hun had the audience in stitches as he shared how his ten-year-old son reacted to finding out his dad plays the terrifying Frontman in the hit Netflix series. 'They're not supposed to watch Squid Game,' Byung-hun said with a grin. 'I have a ten-year-old son and an 18-month-old daughter. I think my son heard from a friend at school. One day, he looked really sad and asked me, 'Why are you so mean?'' Completely confused, Byung-hun replied, 'What?' Jimmy Fallon burst into laughter, jumping in to act out the moment: 'You know I'm an actor. I love you. I'm a good dad!' Byung-hun continued, 'I said, 'Why?' and he said, 'You killed a lot of people.'' It turns out, his son was especially upset about a scene involving T.O.P, the actor who played Thanos in 'Squid Game 2'. 'My son was very close to him,' Byung-hun explained. 'He asked me, 'Why did you hit him so bad, Dad?'' Trying to explain, Byung-hun told his son, 'I'm an actor,' but admitted, 'I think he doesn't understand 100 per cent.' Jimmy nodded and laughed, 'No, good for him. He should be a 10-year-old!' The laughs kept coming as Byung-hun shared a hilarious memory from when his son was just three years old. He had shown him a clip from GI Joe on YouTube, where Byung-hun plays a mysterious and deadly character. His son stared wide-eyed and asked, 'Are you really…?' To which Byung-hun whispered, 'Shhh, no one knows. Even your mom doesn't know.' The interrogation continued as the curious toddler asked, 'Where is the weapon?' Keeping the story alive, Byung-hun replied, 'It's in America, in some storage.' Not satisfied, his son asked, 'Why didn't you bring it back?' With perfect comic timing, Byung-hun answered, 'If I see some strong enemy, I'll bring it back.' The audience erupted in laughter, clearly loving the actor's playful parenting. For the unversed, Lee Byung-hun played the role of Storm Shadow in the 2013 film 'GI Joe: Retaliation'.

Jake Paul confesses early boxing career earned him financial setbacks amid recent $40 million annual income
Jake Paul (via Getty Images) Jake Paul , who is now among the highest-paid identities in the sport of boxing, revealed that his path to multimillion-dollar fight purses didn't begin with overnight fortune. The 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer admitted his early boxing years yielded more losses than gains. With an 11-1 professional career and headline-grabbing fights to his credit, Jake Paul insists that his largest paychecks are yet to arrive. Jake Paul shares financial struggles in early boxing days despite huge paychecks today Jake Paul's boxing career is now perhaps equated with spectacle and money, but the social media personality has opened the books on his early financial reality. Appearing on the Iced Coffee Hour podcast, the Pittsburgh-born personality revealed that the first part of his professional career was anything but profitable. "I've roughly been averaging around $40 million a year for the past four years in boxing," Jake Paul shared. "The first year and a half of boxing, I didn't make much. I was definitely at a loss in my first year in boxing." Jake Paul went pro in 2020 after his white-collar fight with Deji Olatunji in 2018. His initial fights were mainly against other influencers and retired MMA competitors, which generated hype but not necessarily riches. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find Incredible Offers & Incentives On New Or Used Cars In Your Area! autodealsnearyou Learn More Undo It wasn't until he fully embraced his divisive "problem child" image that the dollars began flowing. Paul declared being the villain is not an act—it's a marketing technique. He says his reputation as trouble follows him into the ring because fans watch him, frequently hoping to witness him lose. That fame has paid off with huge profit, including a reported $40 million paycheck for his last bout against Mike Tyson. Jake Paul Breaks Silence on Getting Sued, Going Broke, & Making $40,000,000 Per Year "I think everything worked out perfectly," he added. "If I didn't have my YouTube persona and following, with everyone doubting I could become a boxer and everyone hating me, I don't think I would be making as much. In boxing, the villain makes more, and that is why I purposefully make people hate me and play that role and be the bad guy. Paul's next in line is a high-profile battle against ex-WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. next weekend. While some forecast danger for Paul, others, such as ex-world champion Shawn Porter, anticipate a knockout victory for the YouTuber. As Paul gets ready for another high-paying fight, one thing is certain—his fighting for no cost is long behind him.
