Tyler Blevins, born in Detroit, Michigan, now lives in Chicago, Illinois, is easy to say one of the biggest twitch streamers and YouTubers, his big success was due to the Fortnite game from 2017.
Before that the American gamer played games like Halo and Blevins got his username “Ninja” from an old Halo move where you would outsmart your opponent by jumping over their head and back smacking them, he dropped out of college because his success in streaming was his passion and was more than enough financially for a good life ($25 million!).
