Stephano routinely draws in 10k viewers on his stream and usually plays for 4-5 hours. That and his salary should be netting him over 200k+. If he didn't put that in a bank and instead hired a broker to build a large and diverse investment portfolio he COULD actually live off that while still growing his wealth (Comfortably retiring in his mid twenties). He'll stay in progaming for at least one more year and make a lot more money. Of course, he's a 19 year old with a six figure income and I doubt he'd carefully plan for his financial future like this.

People like Idra insult Inori because they don't like his approach the game, but the guy's a pretty good player. Much improved actually from the days he was really just PvP sniper

he doesn't stream thattt often, and cpm lately is not so good, so i doubt he has made 200k+ (esp with taxes and winnings not being paid, etc). you can't do very much with ~150k, and the interest you get on 150k worth of investment is not enough to retire on haha.

Stephano said at DreamHack that he makes about 5K (Euros) in about 2/3 days of streaming. He may have been exaggerating though as the interview was with 2GD and had a lot of joking in it. It does seem his streaming revenue is significant though, not to mention that you can subscribe to his streaming on Twitch too which brings in extra cash.
DJ Wheat and Slasher interviewed him on LO3 the day or so before MLG Summer Arena and afterwards they said Stephano would likely get the largest contract for a Foreigner in SC2. No idea on figures but he will get a big raise regardless of whether he stays with Mill or moves to EG. I think that there also seems to be a lot more money in SC2 compared to a year ago, at least in prize money. If Stephano keeps his consistency of going deep in so many tournaments then his prize money accumulation rate could potentially increase too as the prize money on offer increases.

please to read that stephano feel good in the TSL House
It could be good for millenium when he will choice his next team !

GSL need to triple their prize money and stephano might consider it

For people wondering if Stephano is popular in France, I'd say that e-sports scene is rather great in France, but far from being mainstream. Let's say it gathers about half a million people*, with a much more smaller hardcore fan core, which is a great figure for an European country (France population : around 66 millions).
On that scene, nearly everyone knows who he is, and most of the people care about him, no matter if they're one of his fans or if they can't stand him :p
So, in short, his French e-sport celebrity is stellar, but he is almost unknown from general public. To be honest, no pro-gamer is well known from general public, aside maybe from ElkY, as a documentary about his Korean career was broadcasted years ago on the first national TV channel, France 2, and even then... (I think it was a part of "Envoyé Special" television program if someone remembers it.)
* Might be a debatable figure, but I'm kinda sure that I'm not very far from truth.

Living off 200k for the rest of your live, in France (or basically every middle-european country)? Rofl, are you mad or something?
I wouldn't even try it under 2 Millions+... Thats asuming i allready have a house which isn't counted in these 2 Mio..

Other cultures demand other behavior.
He's THE foreign ambassador right now in Korea. It's good to see how he's able and agreeing to adapt that fast to mix in That's a professional attitude to have.
