Since he began streaming in mid-2010’s, Turney Tenney, known by many as Tfue, has become not only a well-recognized name in professional Fortnite play, he is also one of the most recognizable streamers to date, beating the likes of many Twitch juggernaughts in the process. As of late, Tfue continues to dominate across several platforms. In fact, as of the time this piece was written, Tenney is sharing his content to 11 million Twitch followers and almost 12 million YouTube subscribers. Let’s dig into Tfue’s net worth in 2022.
Tfue’s Net Worth in 2022 (Estimate): $4 million
Tfue’s net worth in 2022 is $4 million. This is according to numerous outlets, including Celebrity Net Worth.
Tfue was born Turner Ellis Tenney on January 2, 1998 in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. He grew up with older brother Jack, who goes by “JOOGSQUAD PPJT” on YouTube. Tenney was homeschooled, saying that he decided to do so after thinking “it sucked” going to middle school after a week of experience.
Though he previously streamed games like H1Z1, Call of Duty, and Destiny, Tenney transitioned to Fortnite just as the game was rising in popularity. With some talent and a stroke of luck, the move catapulted the young gamer to stardom as Tfue turned out to become one of the most recognizable names in the game.
In 2019, Tenney had even surpassed rival Ninja in hours viewed the past three months, logging 30 million hours compared to Ninja’s 24 million. As the Washington Post describes Tfue’s almost unbelievable pull especially among the younger generation:
“Fans tune in regularly for both his skill level and brash attitude, marking him as one of the chief personalities riding the growing popularity of live-streamed video game entertainment to unimaginable heights.”
Aside from Fortnite, he also occasionally streams his plays on other battle royal games.
Perhaps adding to his appeal was that besides his popularity as a streamer to the more casual viewer, Tfue is also plays Fortnite professionally. Having played a number of these games throughout his career, one of Tenney’s most notable achievements was winning the 2018 Fortnite Fall Skirmish Grand Finals alongside Dennis “Cloakzy” Lepore. Sportskeeda estimates his winnings alone to be at a total of $602,550.
This, obviously, helped to add to Tfue’s net worth in 2022.
By mid-2021, the already popular streamer became even more famous. At that point in time, his social media accounts were more than enough to justify several brand partnerships. It isn’t surprising that offers started piling up. One of the more well-known ones include a $140,000 offer from EA to play Madden. As a response, Tfue refused, reiterating to the Washington Post that he simply wanted to be himself.
“I don’t want to act like something I’m not, even if it means it’s gonna get me more sponsors or like, get me on different shows or whatever. If people [want to work] with me then they do, you know?”
Unfortunately, the 24-year-old professional e-sports player has been embroiled in a number of issues. These include being temporarily banned from Twitch multiple times for various reasons, one of which was due to allegedly using a racial slur on a stream. He also has a rocky relationship with former team FaZe clan, a partnership that has since been defined by ugly accusations and filed lawsuits.
These don’t seem to have slowed the Indian Rocks Beach native down, though. As of writing, Tenney continues his massive online audience reach: 4.6 million Instagram and 4.2 million Twitter followers, 11.9 million YouTube subscribers, and a whopping 11 million followers on Twitch.
Offline, Tenney is very much enjoying his success as one of the most viewed Internet personalities. For example, it isn’t surprising for the young, successful 24-year-old to buy luxury items for himself. Amongst his purchases include a $140,000 Tesla Model X as his first car, and a brand new $20,000 Sea-Doo Jet Ski. Tenney has also vlogged one of his particular birthday splurges, going around in his real-life Fortnite Battle Bus, meeting up with a few fans, and gifting Xbox One players Microsoft points. By the end of it all, Tenney had managed to log about $1 million worth of expenses in that one day.
In 2019, Tenney has also been living in New Jersey after moving with his duo partner Cloakzy. As of writing this piece, there haven’t been any talk about a romantic relationship. However, he has reportedly dated Instagram professor Corinna Kopf until June 2019, from which point on they parted ways and instead remained good friends.
In the end, perhaps Tenney describes himself best. As he told the Washington Post:
“Gamer, esports athlete, social media influencer. There’s so many different labels that you could label yourself as, so I don’t know. I’m just me, dude.”
