Highest Paid Girl Gamers
There are a number of ways you can earn money from playing games, and the industry hires a large number of people like myself to make games who are also big gamers. It would be impossible to compare all of these ways games earn money and many things such as industry salaries are highly guarded secrets. As such we’ve decided to focus on pro gamers, the cream of the crop, to see how much money they can make playing games.
Highest-Paid Female Pro Gamers
Winning money as a pro gamer usually requires entering tournaments and winning (or at least coming runner up). This means that, although some winnings are quite impressive, only the people at the very top of their games will win significant money. Money will also vary massively based on games, even within similar genres. Games that have a huge budget behind them and require a consistent player base to earn money, such as Fortnite, or games where the tournament itself draws huge crowds like Starcraft 2 tend to have bigger prize pools than many other games.
