Siragusa is well known for her live streams on Kick, where she has been able to make around $15,000 a stream simply by broadcasting herself sleeping, and reportedly earns over $2 million a month on OnlyFans.
As a result of her popularity, the content creator claims to have accumulated a huge crypto fortune, in which has over $20 million in Bitcoin alone.
On March 2, Siragusa said: “Was at gun point they gave me phone and said log in with gun to my head and I tweeted because calling would be a death sentence.”
She went on to say: “I believe I shot one of them, they wanted crypto is what they were yelling they pulled me out of bed.”
The streamer continued: “The pummeling felt like it would never end and I protected my head by putting my arms up like I learned how to do in boxing, blood was streaming down my head and my hands where beat brown. [sic] They brought duct tape and masks and were armed with handguns.”
According to reports, the 31-year-old streamer was asleep in her home in Houston, Texas.

Her husband was in the bathroom when she heard loud noises downstairs.
Siragusa recalled how the men entered the room and attacked her before demanding cryptocurrency from her.
It has been alleged that the men also pistol-whipped her three times before Siragusa fled the room and ran to the bathroom.
Her husband then reportedly fired shots at the suspects, potentially injuring one.
The men fled the scene and four teens, aged 16 to 19, have now been arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
SWAT teams were called to Siragusa’s house to deal with the incident, and Amouranth also posted video surveillance footage of the three attackers infiltrating her home.
She went on to add that she ‘might have to remove this video later’ and that forensic teams were testing a trail of blood that had been left in her driveway.
Many people took to social media to share their support for Siragusa after the terrifying ordeal.

13-year-old streamer reportedly makes $30,000 after creating crypto ‘meme coin’
The cryptocurrency community decided to teach him a lesson
A 13 year old streamer has reportedly made $30,000 after creating a crypto ‘meme coin’.
While most young teens might be hanging out with friends or scrolling social media, one young man decided there was a better use of his time.
The unnamed teenager created his own cryptocurrency, a token that he named $QUANT.

The kid then went on live stream and inadvertently went viral for his antics.
While on the stream, the teen performed what is known as a ‘rug pull’ in the crypto community.
Basically, he started pumping money into the coin to make it artificially go up in value, attracting other investors to put money into it.
Then the teen withdrew all of his money, taking the investors’ assets with him.
Unbelievably, the 13 year old reportedly managed to make $30,000 from his ploy.
During his stream, the boy himself didn’t seem to believe it, saying: “No way, holy f***, holy f***.”
In the comment section, one person said: “MAKE UR BAG BRO SELL SELL SELL.”
Another said: “SELL LITTLE BRO.”
The crypto community decided to teach the teenager a lesson by pouring money into the coin after he’d already removed his investments.
It sent the price of the crypto skyrocketing, causing it to be worth a lot more.
In fact, if the teen had withdrawn then instead, his $30,000 would have been worth a whopping $4 million.

Other meme coins that have been made as a joke have gone on to be worth millions of dollars.
The dogecoin is a prime example of this – a crypto that initially went viral in 2010 and features a design of a famous Shiba Inu dog.
The token went on to become a popular meme cryptocurrency.
It’s been making the headlines recently following Donald Trump’s election win.
The president-elect announced that billionaire Elon Musk would be heading up the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE for short.
Despite its name, the department isn’t actually part of the Trump administration and instead will offer ‘advice and guidance’ from the outside.
Along with conservative activist Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk has promised a complete overhaul and Trump has revealed that the department will help to ‘dismantle Government Bureaucracy’.
But due to DOGE’s connotations with Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency has surged in value beyond 106%.
Musk appears to strongly believe in the viability of Dogecoin as part of the US economy, arguing: “I think the flat inflation of Dogecoin, which means decreasing percentage inflation, is a feature, not a bug.”
That might mean that the nearly 15-year-old meme isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Amouranth announces to 3,800,000 followers she might never return to the internet after violent robbery left her hospitalized
The popular streamer experienced a horrifying armed home invasion
Amouranth has made a shocking announcement on social media following a violent home invasion that left her hospitalized, hinting that she might never return to the internet.
Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa is one of the most popular live streamers on the internet right now, earning millions of dollars across her Kick channel and OnlyFans content, and even streams of her sleeping.
Unfortunately she was the target of a horrifying attack on Sunday night, as armed attackers invaded her home, demanding that she log into her cryptocurrency wallet and transfer the millions that she has stored inside to their accounts.

She was pistol whipped and subsequently hospitalized following the attack, and live posted the events on X (formerly Twitter) during and after it happened.
“I’m covered in blood but only some of it is mine I’ll update yall later but I’m safe now,” Siragusa posted at 11:33 PM on Sunday night, adding that she “was at gun point they gave me phone and said log in with gun to my head and I tweeted because calling would be a death sentence.”
Additionally, she has shared images of the damage that the attackers did to her home, alongside footage of them retreating after she opened fire on them, admitting that she “might have to remove this video later” due to its involvement in the police case.
The Houston Police Officers’ Union have requested anyone with information related to the robbery and attack to contact the police department, but it appears as if this particular incident might have long-lasting effects on Amouranth’s online career.
Replying to the video she posted of the attack, one X user remarked: “I would log off the internet for a while. This is the kind of event that needs time, space, and calm to process.”
In response, Amouranth outlined: “Truth be told I don’t know if I’ll ever be back.”

This is very much an expected response following a traumatic incident – especially one that likely would not have happened if she wasn’t already a public-facing personality.
While it would definitely be a disappointing turn of events for her roughly 3,800,000 followers on X alone, many have joined together to agree that it’s best for Siragusa to take at least some time away from the world of social media.
“I think staying away from the internet would be good for you,” outlines one user in the replies. “Praying you have a good life moving forward.”
Another adds: “Don’t come back, take the money and live a simple carefree life. Time > money, ask any old person which they’d rather have. Good luck.”
Others echo this sentiment, adding that “all the money in the world isn’t worth your life, I’m so glad you’re OK stay strong.”

‘Pathetic’ streamer banned after taking ‘homeless woman’ out for dinner and leaving her with the bill
Kick’s CEO has made his feelings clear
A Kick streamer has been banned after a cruel stunt where he left a ‘homeless woman’ with a hefty restaurant bill went viral.
Proving that some people will do anything for views, one Kick streamer has been banned from the platform after he dined and dashed on a ‘homeless woman.’ Whatever your thoughts on streamers like IShowSpeed, Alinity, and Jack Doherty, the idea of taking a homeless person out for clout and then leaving them with the bill is something they’d (hopefully) never even think of.
Streamer Dumbdumbjeez posted a video with a woman named Mabel, claiming that she was homeless. After what looked like a lovely meal, Dumbdumbjeez said he had to get his wallet from the car to pay the $76 bill. Instead of returning, he dashed and left the ‘homeless’ Mabel to stump up the cost.
The clip soon went viral, and when Kick co-founder Bijan Tehrani stepped in on X, he reiterated that Dumbdumbjeez has been banned from the streaming platform.
According to Tehrani, the streamer was taking advantage of a $50,000 content-creation contest.
Replying to @FearedBuck
This pathetic and now banned streamer did this while trying to win a contest for $50k. I’m disappointed this happened on Kick and we’ve got $50k for this lady if anyone can connect us.

Dumbdumbjeez has since claimed that it was ‘meant to be funny’ and has been ‘blown way out of proportion,’ stating that Mabel was in on the joke: “People need to understand. Mabel knew what was going on. It wasn’t like I just abandoned her out of nowhere.”
Still, Tehrani has branded the streamer as ‘pathetic’ and quickly brought down the ban hammer.
In the aftermath, Tehrani has also offered a $50,000 reward to anyone who can help him get in touch with Mabel. The co-founder was joined by Kick CEO Eddie Craven, who chimed in: “Heartbreaking to see. Hope we can find her quickly and she can put the money to good use.”
Dumbdumbjeez had tried to defend himself, saying “All y’all people doing all that bashing and stuff, y’all wrong as f**k…Mabel was totally fine with it. She knew what was happening and was okay with the whole thing.”
Dumbdumbjeez has since posted a video titled “The Truth” and continued to claim that the whole stunt was pre-planned. The content creator promises he was never meant to hurt anyone and asked viewers to try and see the ‘bigger picture’ of him trying to go viral with the stunt.
Saying that these kind of staged pranks happen all the time, he concluded: “I’m a content creator too, just trying to make something different. People watch these pranks all the time, but suddenly, when I do it, I’m the bad guy?”
Although the ban is only for three days, it’s thought that Kick could be making an example of Dumbdumbjeez. The platform landed in hot water when streamer Paul Denino staged a prank involving what appeared to be a sex worker in September, hitting headlines when Craven responded to it with a series of laughing emojis.
Kick’s terms and conditions have been called into question when it comes to safety, with some even vowing to leave the platform in protest of recent events.
Dumbdumbjeez says that while he’ll ‘learn’ from the incident, he wants to keep streaming and vows to clear his name.

Streamer making $2,000,000 a month reveals shocking amount she earns by streaming while she’s asleep
Some of you could be making a fortune?
Streamer Amouranth has revealed that her most lucrative stream is where she is sleeping.
If there was a career to be made from sleeping, we’re sure many of you would be polishing your CVs and sending them in before you can say ‘Don’t let the bed bugs bite’. Some out there are actually earning money while they’re sleeping, and we’re not talking about taking part in paid medical studies or investing in Bitcoin before you go to bed. Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa is one of the best-known female streamers out there, and while she’s drawn controversy from the likes of her hot tub and yoga pants streams, she’s nothing if not inventive when it comes to unique ways to stand out from the crowd.
Known for her ASMR live streams and ‘adult’ entertainment on Twitch, Amouranth can make upwards of $2 million a month from her OnlyFans and Twitch ventures.
Speaking to The Iced Coffee Hour podcast in 2023, Amouranth explained how she can earn a not-so-small fortune simply by letting people watch her sleep.

With the average adult told to get between seven and nine hours of sleep a night, it feels like we could be missing out on some serious dollars.
In case the name didn’t give it away, these ‘sleeping streams’ involve streamers getting into their comfies and trying to catch 40 winks while they leave the camera rolling.
Saying that she has an incredible talent to fall asleep anywhere, Amouranth has managed to monetize this. Maintaining that those who typically watch female streamers tend to be more ‘sexual’, Siragusa explained: “They’ll be like like, ‘What if she starts taking off her top right now and forgets she’s streaming. Oh my God, what I would do to her right now,’ like while she’s sleeping.”
When asked what she’d make in a sleep stream, Amouranth confirmed it could be up to $15,000. Elsewhere in the interview, she clarified: “If you count just on Twitch, probably like a couple thousand dollars.
“But, if you count the conversions, potentially to OnlyFans, while I’m sleeping, then maybe like $10,000 to $15,000.”
Others like Kai Cenat are in on the idea, with his recent marathons playing FromSoftware’s Soulslike games also seeing thousands tune in to watch as he catches some Zs between swinging a sword at monsters.
Before you go attributing sleep streams to the Twitch crowd, remember that the early days of Big Brother‘s live cameras meant viewers could tune in to watch housemates snoring through the night.
There’s also the opposite of this, with the BBC reporting on ‘sleepfluencers’ like StanleyMov. Although scientists are sure to warn about the dangers of denying yourselves sleep, people would pay up to $95 to give StanleyMov an electric shock through a bracelet and keep him awake. It eventually took a toll on the sleepfluencer, with him pausing them “because of mental health and burnout.”
Amouranth suggested that while male streamers can earn big by being woken up, most tend to watch women sleep as a form of ‘voyeurism’.
Some in the comments were dismayed that Siragusa could make so much just by closing her eyes, with one person writing: “As a doctor who doesn’t get sleep, this is depressing.”
Another lamented: “Just proves how stupid we are. This is maybe why so many are broke.”
Someone else concluded: “Blame the men not the woman, she found a market. Wouldn’t be a market without the creeps.”
We’re in the wrong career because just imagine being paid $15,000 for an afternoon nap
