Income by Streaming?

Heard that certain people (like Destiny and then probably, for example, Grubby, too) make quite an income this way, by these assumptions: 0,002$ per ad played, avg. 4 ads per hour for each viewer, 6 hours streaming per day, average of 4000 Viewers. This would actually result in 192$/day, or more than 5700$ a month when streamed absolutely every day, quite impressive numbers though. But this assumption creates 42 hours of content each week attracting many viewers after all. So, main question: Does anybody here know how much streaming sites pay to their broadcasters? Are these realistic dimensions here?

Destiny usually gets around 2k viewers and I see his stream up more than any other. Not sure how much he makes/week or what have you though.
