Online streamer Adin Ross is already making more than most adults in the US at the young age of 23.
Ross started streaming back in 2019 and went on to become hugely popular after joining an NBA 2K group called Always Excelling where he formed a friendship with LeBron James' son Bronny.
The pair began playing NBA 2K20 together and placed wagers against other YouTubers, which helped him gain even more online stardom.

Initially Ross streamed on Twitch, but moved over to Kick last year - where he now boasts 1.15 million followers.
It's not new information that online streamers like Ross can rake in the big bucks, and he's now revealed just how much he actually brings home.
Speaking on the BS w/ Jake Paul podcast, the 23-year-old was asked about the rumors that he'd signed a $100 million deal with Kick.
Denying this, Ross said: "It's exaggerated. How it works, my deal with Kick, it's more on my type of time. I get paid by the hour."
"I get paid pretty well," he went on to tease, as Paul proceeded to ask him if it's a five or six figure.
"It's a five figure," the Kick streamer confirmed, meaning he could be raking in anything between $10,000 to $99,000 an hour.
People have since reacted to his revelations online, and it's safe to say people are pretty shocked.
"10k an hour to just react to other peoples videos and watch movies that cater to 12 year olds is insane, god be blessing the wrong people man," someone wrote on X.
"Imagine working an entire year to make what this guy does in an hour," said a second.
Another insisted: "I need to become a streamer."
"These streamers just cracked the cheat code of economy," a different person went on.
It doesn't look like Ross' streaming reign is going to end anytime soon as the gamer has been labelled as Kick's most-watched streamer in the last seven days, as per Stream Charts.
1,266,502 hours of his content has been viewed over this time frame, with him generating an additional 13,201 followers.
Ross is followed closely by Andrey Burim (AKA mellstroy271) who has amassed 1,233,644 hours of views.
BRB, off to learn how to be an online streamer.
