Pro-Trump streamer humbled after realizing he's lost a quarter of his net worth following tariffs
One major streamer has been served a healthy portion of humble pie following US President Donald Trump's controversial tariff plan, as the pro-Trump creator has lost over 25% of his net worth in the last two months.
The effect that Trump's recent 'Liberation Day' tariffs has had on both the US and global economy is undeniable, as experts have indicated that they could 'reshape' major industries for years to come.
Every single person in America is likely to be effected in some way, including an increase in Amazon order prices, price hikes for key tech like iPhones, and delays on exciting new games consoles. Most things that you buy will cost more and there's a good chance that any investments you've made have dropped too.
Most notably, tariffs have also had a noticeable effect on the finances of the richest people in the world, as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg collectively lost over $42 billion overnight after the economic measures were announced.

It's not just the ultra-rich that have taken the brunt of the government's plans though, as one popular pro-Trump streamer has been left humbled after losing 25% of his net worth.
As shared by X user @Out5p0ken with the caption 'How it started. How it's going,' two videos of Adin Ross show his keen support for Trump, and recent reveal that he's now 'poor' in his eyes.
Ross has been a controversial figure in the streaming world for a number of years now, having engaged with far-right personalities on stream and been banned from Twitch numerous times for 'hateful content'.
He also gifted the president a Trump-themed Tesla Cybertruck live on stream, which even for the biggest MAGA-heads out there isn't the most tasteful of vehicles.
Now though it appears as if he might be regretting his support for Trump, as his investments in stocks and cryptocurrency have tanked thanks to the president's latest moves.
"I don't know how many of you guys are invested in crypto or stocks, what the f*** is going on right now with our country," he expressed in a recent stream.
"Guys, why am I poor? What is going on with the world right now, why the f*** is this going on? Can somebody please explain what's going on. Why are we all losing? Why are we all negative right now?"
Whether he's simply venting his frustrations or he genuinely doesn't understand the consequences of Trump's worldwide tariffs, the result is the same: Adin Ross is now 25% poorer.
However, his assertion that he is 'poor' is almost definitely wide of the mark though. Estimates from MoneyMade indicate that in November last year, Ross' net worth was around $24 million, and you can only imagine that this grew shortly after due to the rise that Bitcoin and stocks like Tesla saw following Trump's election victory.
However, taking 25% from that $25 million figure gets you down to $18 million - and while $7 million is undoubtedly a lot of money, you can't exactly call yourself poor with over eight figures in pocket.
