How much do Fortnite pros make per hour? Bugha, Chap, more Epic GamesFortnite became famed for earning young kids a lot of money, especially thanks to the $30m Fortnite World Cup event \u2013 but now we know how much that would equate to in hourly earnings. While the rest of us try to make ends meet on a standard salary, some of these players \u2013 from as young as 13 or 14 years old \u2013 were making hundreds of thousands from Fortnite, be it through salary, stream earnings to tournament winnings. But tournament winnings are what really counts, separating the best in the world to those on their way up, and it\u2019s what all competitors aspire to when they first start out. That\u2019s where Fortnite Tracker stepped in, offering to break down players\u2019 earnings into a simple hourly earning calculation, and some of the results are interesting. These results only include time spent in matchmaking \u2013 not waiting in the lobby, in Creative or Playground modes or anything else, so is purely a breakdown of in-game time. To calculate, they simply divided the player\u2019s online earnings by the number of hours played. This does mean that for the most part, unless specified, figures do not include earnings from the likes of World Cup, DreamHack events or any other LAN. Fortnite pros hourly earnings Ryan \u2018Chap\u2018 Chaplo \u2013 $62.11\/hr – Kyle \u2018Bugha\u2018 Giersdorf \u2013 $94.93\/hr ($3,846.07\/hr including World Cup) – Evan \u2018cented\u2018 Barron \u2013 $97.79\/hr – Rocco \u2018Saf\u2018 Morales \u2013 $120.77\/hr – Dominick \u2018UnknownxArmy1x\u2018 Green \u2013 $138.21\/hr – Jonathan \u2018yung calculator\u2019 Weber \u2013 $180.88\/hr – Dmitri \u2018Mitr0\u2018 Van de Vrie \u2013 $188.36\/hr – Anthony \u2018ZexRow\u2018 Colandro \u2013 $248.70\/hr – These are some of the more interesting results, though you can see every response in the original Tweet thread below: For April Fools, we\u2019re going to let the numbers speak for themselves To all self declared Fortnite \u201cPros\u201d \u2013 comment your IGN and we\u2019ll calculate how much you make per hour in Fortnite (total hours played \u00f7 tournament earnings) We\u2019re about to expose some burger flippers today \ud83c\udf54 \u2014 Fortnite Tracker (@FortniteTracker) April 1, 2020 It would be interesting to have seen results for the likes of Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney, Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff or Kyle \u2018Mongraal\u2019Jackson, who are arguably some of the biggest names to come out of the competitive Fortnite scene and each will have made some decent earnings along the way. Other streamers, such as Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins, may not have as high earnings as their peers listed above, but likely aren\u2019t too concerned considering how much they make from content creation. Even players like Bugha and Chap will have much higher earnings if you included revenue from their streams and YouTube, which is really the main income source, even for those who play competitively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
