Amouranth gets anonymous $100,000 package
Top Twitch streamer Amouranth has received an absurd package from a fan, containing thousands of dollars and a private bodyguard service
Top Twitch streamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa, who has more than ten thousand paid subscribers on the platform, has received a package from a fan filled with thousands of dollars in cash and more.
The anonymous package was received by the streamer over the weekend, and was opened on stream earlier this week. In it was more than $70,000 USD (AU$104,150) in cash, the latest iPhone, and a prepaid subscription to a private bodyguard service.
At first, Siragusa seemed to think the money was fake, but expressed surprise upon realising that it was not only real, but that there was such a large amount of it. A letter from the anonymous benefactor revealed the purpose of it all.
Whoever he is, I extremely thankful and the gesture speaks for itself 😶 https://t.co/8TZ0sZ0NGT

“I have provided a few defence essentials and cash, to ensure that no amount of financial tampering can hinder your resolution,” the letter read, “Lastly, I have included a new phone, all you have to do is activate the service, the plan is active and prepaid. No one except you will know the number.”
The anonymous fan also provided two numbers for the streamer, one of which can be used to access the bodyguard service, and the other is for the anonymous fan themselves, who says the streamer can call them “if [she] ever needs anything at all”. The package also reportedly included a taser, to be used for self-defence.
Siragusa said that the attached letter didn’t have any “creepy” parts, saying that it was free from things like “run away with me” or “please marry me”, as she says is often the case with anonymous fan packages. She said it was “just a letter like ‘here’s your stuff, have a good life’”.
The care package is likely due to recent conflict with Siragusa’s husband, who she alleges abused her. The streamer claims her husband, who she has now separated from, threatened to kill her animals, controlled her finances, and forced her to stream.

Siragusa said that she was “happy that [she’s] free” after the alleged abuse by her husband, once she had separated from him, in her first stream following the separation. She said that she was seeking both legal and emotional counsel.
Siragusa makes over $100,000 from Twitch alone, and also operates a very lucrative adult OnlyFans page, which she claims is the number one account on the platform. She has an estimated net worth of over $30 million.
