Nick Fuentes made nearly $1 million in livestreaming donations since 2025, report says
Published in News & Features
Antisemitic influencer Nick Fuentes reportedly collected around $900,000 in donations by livestreaming to his right-wing audience.
Using AI tools, the Washington Post analyzed more than 1,400 hours of Fuentes’ livestreams and videos on Rumble and tallied all of the contributions made in “super chats” displayed on screen. The sum is believed to be at least 99% accurate.
Fuentes, who has 1.3 million followers on X, attracts a formidable audience on social media despite being his podcast being banned from mainstream platforms YouTube and Apple. He was previously kicked off Twitter, though his account was reinstated in March 2024 when Elon Musk purchased that company and rebranded it as X.
The 27-year-old pundit from Chicagoland is a former MAGA loyalist who infamously dined with President Donald Trump and the rapper formerly known as Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022 between Trump’s two terms in office. He has since broken from that movement for myriad reasons, including Trump’s friendly relationship with Israel and the rate at which the administration is deporting immigrants from the U.S. Fuentes reportedly believes the process is moving too slowly.
He also opposes the nation’s ongoing war with Iran, which Fuentes doesn’t feel serves U.S. interests.
While many right-wing politicos take issue with Fuentes’ most polarizing positions, such as skepticism about the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, highly influential conservatives including Tucker Carlson have taken an interest in at least some of his views. Fuentes appeared on the internet’s “The Tucker Carlson Show” in late October.
The Washington Post analysis found that 5% of Fuentes’ viewers were responsible for 46% of his donations. Those numbers reflect donations received between January 2025 and the end of March 2026.
He also makes money by selling merchandise including t-shirts and “America First” baseball caps on his website.
Fuentes fans expressed disappointment Sunday when Fuentes said on X that his “American First” show will be on hiatus until April 27.
“You ded [sic] bro? 27th might as well be next decade,” one follower responded.
