They always have staff they pay with that money. It doesn't all flow into their pockets. It's very hard to reach that scale on your own.

It seems many streamers can barely take care of themselves. With the money involved I'd imagine a large cottage industry of Agents, Marketers, Content editors, and subsidies to friends and teammates who participate in their content. Not to mention a complicated tax situations, irregular income levels, periodic industry events, etc.
