The video game Fortnite has millions of fans.
Here’s how it works: it’s a free-to-play multiplayer game where you compete against people online. ‘Fortnite Battle Royal’ features up to 100 players, alone, in duos, or in squads who attempt to be the last player or group alive by killing other players or evading them (hiding in or pretending to be a bush usually does the trick).
Sounds like fun right? Turns out it’s more than just fun – people are starting to make some serious cash off of it, not least of all the creators.
Top contenders in the game are receiving sponsorship from strangers. Live streamers also rack up views which can prove lucrative on platforms like YouTube.

Making millions of dollars doing what you love – that’s the dream, right?
