Fortnite gamers purchase 'multi-million dollar mansion' with earnings
Gaming platform 'Fortnite' has proved fruitful for a group of professional players who have purchased a luxurious mansion with their online earnings.
The six gamers, known as "One Percent", claim in a new video that they purchased the property solely with money they'd earned online, through streaming their games on YouTube and creating content for their online subscribers.

"We actually purchased this multi-million dollar property thanks to all of you guys for watching our videos," one member, known by the name Formula, says in the video.
"Everything you see here, we paid for ourselves."
In the 12-minute video, the group take their 827,000 subscribers on an in-depth tour of the mansion they now call home.
It includes sprawling gardens, multiple sports cars, a baby grand piano formerly played by Frank Sinatra and several designated gaming rooms.

There's also a cellar containing 160 wine bottles, despite the fact that none of them drink wine.
Formula, who has an estimated net worth of $1.1 million, according to NaiBuzz, shows off one of two of his rooms - one that serves as his bedroom, and one for his gaming "setup".
The room is stocked with mini fridges and snack drawers, and includes a plasma screen TV and couch for when the boys "want to come and hang."
Another member of One Percent, Nicks, then takes viewers through the mansion's kitchen, fitted out with two fridges, four freezers and a coffee station.

Walking outside, he reveals the backyard that boasts an infinity hot tub, a basketball hoop, pool, and water features surrounding the patio area.
The mansion also includes a personal home theatre, filled with reclining lounge chairs and a giant projector screen.
Naturally, group member 'Kiwiz' calls it the "favourite room in the house."
The property's hallways are adorned with the group's multiple awards and plaques, earned over years of streaming their gaming conquests.
Kiwiz also shows viewers his favourite feature of the home, his bedroom balcony, which overlooks a panoramic view of the neighbourhood, lined with palm trees and a giant oasis.

While the group predominantly sports hoodies and tracksuits, their bedrooms are fully equipped with walk-in wardrobes.
The One Percent group's current team is made up of players Randumb, Nicks, Kiwiz, Formula, Razz and Aeolus.
Four of the members were formerly a part of gaming group Luminosity Gaming on a 12-month contract, which concluded on June 29 this year, causing people across the eSports community to wonder about their next move.
Launching their new group earlier in July, the six men detailed their next move in a series of cryptic tweets.
"Are you ready?" the group tweeted on July 6, announcing the birth of One Percent.
According to analyst firm SuperData, Fortnite was the top-grossing free-to-play game in the world last year, raking in an estimated $2.4 billion over 12 months.
