Twitch star ‘Jinnytty’ was left absolutely gobsmacked after one of her viewers donated $10,000 — with the condition that she spend the cash on a live-streamed cruise.
Jinny is a popular streamer on Twitch, where she broadcasts her travels across the globe to the tune of 990,000 followers.
Although Jinny streams a variety of content, she’s best known for her traveling broadcasts, some of which have gone mega-viral over the years due to the wild encounters she’s had with strangers, both good and bad.
Now, it looks like one of her viewers wants her to make a major upgrade to her usual streams after gifting her an eye-popping amount of money.
Jinny receives eye-popping $10K donation from disabled viewer
On February 10, Jinny was streaming live to celebrate the Lunar New Year when she received a $10,000 donation from a viewer.
In their donation message, the viewer claimed they were gifting her the cash as an early birthday present to “take us on a cruise ship of your choice with two options: Chinese Yangtze River, or 14 days around New Zealand.”
Jinny’s face said it all, her expression stunned and totally caught off-guard by the huge amount of money that had just been sent her way.

“What just happened?” she asked. “What did you do?”
Mere seconds later, the same fan sent a $10 donation with the message: “I give you the cash so you have the freedom to choose the journey and time you wish to travel. Give me a call off-stream sometime, if you want to see my deep blue ocean eyes? You know how to find me.”
“What’s going on?” she shouted. “I gotta process this. ….that’s a lot of money. Are you sure about this?”
Jinny went on to read out other donation messages from the viewer, who claimed he had a muscle disease that would “kill him in the next 10-15 years.”
The streamer wasn’t sure about accepting the fan’s money at first, explaining that her community had just suffered a loss after one of their members recently died from cancer.
However, she went on to explain that some of her viewers are unable to travel due to health conditions, and claimed she would use the money for a cruise ship to take her fans on yet another adventure.
“I am definitely happy to take you guys to a lot of cool places, new places, so you can experience the world together,” she said.
