The streamer’s career took a major hit when he was banned from Twitch following allegations of sending inappropriate messages to an underage user. As Twitch was his primary source of income at the time, the ban severely impacted his career and tarnished his reputation.
YouTube
In an effort to save his career, Dr Disrespect returned to YouTube which he had abandoned in 2011. From there, he rebuilt his gaming empire and in record time amassed 4.5 million subscribers. He uploads Let’s Play videos on YouTube, with each video amassing between 100k to upwards of 300k views.
Normally, YouTubers who receive this amount of views per video earn up to $10,000 through ads and sponsorships. But on June 28, 2024, YouTube demonetized Dr Disrespect’s channel following his admission of engaging in inappropriate messaging with a minor.
YouTube has also paused memberships, which would normally earn a YouTuber $1 to $5 per membership depending on the tier. Dr. Disrespect reapplied for partnership in September 2024 but was rejected in October 2024.
Merchandise
Having been banned from Twitch and demonetized on YouTube, Dr Disrespect’s main source of income has dwindled. However, he still earns a respectable amount from merchandise sales. His merchandise consists of apparel and accessories with his logo and signature catchphrases.

Some sources claim Dr Disrespect earns up to $500,000 annually from merchandise sales alone, although that figure is likely before the controversy that got him banned from Twitch.
Sponsorships and Brand Deals
Like many prominent content creators, Dr Disrespect generated a substantial income through sponsorships and brand partnerships.
Most of these brands have now severed their ties with him, not wanting to be associated with his immoral actions. Before that, though, Dr Disrespect collaborated with major brands like ASUS, Roccat, Gillette, Mountain Dew, and G Fuel.
Midnight Society
In December 2021, Dr Disrespect co-founded the gaming studio Midnight Society with Robert Bowling and Quinn DelHoyo. The studio quickly gained attention for developing games like Project Moon. However, in June 2024, Midnight Society terminated its contract with Dr. Disrespect, again due to the controversy surrounding him.
Final Thoughts
Dr Disrespect is a well-known and once-beloved Twitch streamer and YouTuber. He was once among the biggest streamers on Twitch, with well over 4.5 million followers before his ban in 2020.
Dr Disrespect also has a sizable following on YouTube, but the platform demonetized his channel and disabled memberships in 2024 due to the ongoing scandal surrounding him.
As of 2025, the content creator is believed to have a net worth of between $8 million and $10 million, though with most of his major revenue streams halted, that will likely dwindle in the upcoming years.
