Tfue (Turner Tenney) — The $20M Fortnite Prodigy

At 20, Tfue was the highest-earning Fortnite content creator on Earth — estimated at $20 million in 2019 from tournament winnings, sponsorships, and streaming revenue. He sued FaZe Clan over an allegedly unfair contract that took 80% of his brand deal income (the lawsuit settled confidentially and sparked an industry-wide reckoning about creator contracts). At peak, he averaged 100,000+ concurrent viewers. His legal battle against FaZe was more consequential than his gameplay — it changed how every esports org structures creator deals. He made more at 20 than most NBA rookies.
