Today, Forbes has revealed their prestigious 30 under 30 rankings for 2021, and two very familiar faces in the world of streaming have made it to the ‘Gaming’ list.
If you follow streamers on Twitch or regularly follow gaming content on YouTube, then you’re surely acquainted with the faces of Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang. Fans of these streamers have plenty to rejoice about, since both of them have made it to Forbes’ 30 under 30 rankings for gaming this year.
Pokimane has earned quite the fame for herself in the past few years. The 24-year-old streamer and content creator dropped out of McMaster University to pursue her passion for streaming and soon made her way to the top of the Twitch charts. She is currently the #1 female streamer on the platform with a follower count of over 6 million.
Pokimane initially rose to fame while playing games like League of Legends or Fortnite. She was also one of the founders of the content creation house ‘OfflineTV’, which she left this year following a series of controversies.
She also recently became the creative director for renowned gaming clothes brand ‘Cloak’.
Disguised Toast is a 29-year-old Canadian streamer who signed an exclusivity deal with Facebook Gaming in late 2019. He has recently crossed a sub count of 3 million on his YouTube channel, thanks to his amazing Among Us videos that pull millions of views on a regular basis. Previously, we have seen Toast play games like Hearthstone, League of Legends, and Teamfight Tactics
Both these streamers have been a part of the legendary US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s record-breaking Among Us stream in October 2020 which hit over 500k concurrent viewers.
