xQc is the channel name of Félix Lengyel. He broadcasts on Twitch and on Kick.
Forbes, on 15 July 2023, called him Twitch's most-watched streamer for each of the three years before that article, and reported that Kick had signed him to a two-year contract worth at least $70 million, with incentives that could take it to $100 million.[1] The BBC, on 29 June 2023, reported a figure of about $100 million and said he had been broadcasting on both platforms since the move.[2] The two reports are the same contract, as each outlet printed it that summer. They are not a viewer count, and they are not a figure for what the channel made in a later month.
Forbes reported that his agent, Ryan Morrison, said the Kick contract does not require him to promote gambling, and that he would be paid in dollars rather than equity.[1] Kick was co-founded by Ed Craven, owner of the betting site Stake.com. The BBC reported that gambling streams are a prominent part of that platform.[2]
"Most-watched," in the Forbes sentence, is Forbes's description of the three years before July 2023. It is not a rank this wiki maintains.
