Shroud also loves traveling and is a dog person. He currently resides in California leading a glorious lifestyle that he has earned through his wonderful skills of e-gaming.
Shroud’s Net Worth:
Shroud’s success in e-gaming and the recent boom that e-gaming has experienced means that Shroud has a large net worth. According to some reports, his net worth is more than $3 million. This is not at all surprising, considering he started his career with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as an offensive player for ESEA teams. After leaving ESEA, he joined Cloud 9 and has earned big money, since then. Shroud earns majorly from his YouTube channel and endorsements; however, his biggest source of income is Twitch. On Twitch, Shroud has more than 8 million followers, making him the third most-followed account on that platform. In addition to those followers, Shroud also has more than 6.5 million followers on his YouTube channel.
He has also featured in almost ten tournaments over the years, winning four of those and pocketing more than half a million dollars in winnings. His biggest payout was in 2016 when he won the ESL Pro League Season 4 and took home prize money of $200,000.

Shroud’s Awards and Nominations:
Given the success, it is not a surprise that Shroud has been in and around the awards and nominations.

However, his luck was better in 2019 as he won the Content Creator of the Year award in The Game Awards.
