Rachel 'Valkyrae' Hofstetter is one of the most popular female streamers as of 2023. She has grown exponentially over the last 3 years and has turned into a household name in the streaming community.
Valkyrae rose to fame in 2020 during the global pandemic playing Among Us with the likes of Disguised Toast, Sykkuno, Pokimane, etc.
Valkyrae shifted from Twitch streaming to YouTube back in 2021, when many streamers were making the switch.
She is also one of the co-owners of prestigious eSports organization, 100 Thieves.
Valkyrae's birthday is on January 8, 1992. In 2023, the streamer is 31 years old and has a net worth of over $4M.
Apart from her streaming career, Valkyrae also has a career as a successful businesswoman, having launched several lines of merchandise.
However, she did have one failed business venture in RFLCT. Valkyrae had launched a line of skincare which she claimed protected its users from the harmful effects of blue light radiating from device screens. But studies proved these claims false and Valkyrae was labeled a fraud, leading to the end of RFLCT altogether.
In 2023, Valkyrae is set to expand her horizons even further and lend her voice in the upcoming Netflix Sonic Prime.
