A mysterious individual, known only as Amhai, has been donating large amounts of money to Twitch streamers.
Over $100 000 in total has been given away over the past year, mostly to World of Warcraft streamers.
Each donation starts out as a few thousand dollars at a time, with larger donations (such as $10 000) arriving later.
Streamer Isaac "Azael" Cummings-Bentley told The Daily Dot that Amhai has donated over $30 000 to him.
Meanwhile, Chance "Sodapoppin" Morris has received $50 000.
Hearthstone player Lea "LegendaryLea" May has also received over $22 000.
The identity of Amhai remains unknown, as well as the reasons behind his donations.
Speculations have emerged that Amhai is a wealthy oil baron.
However, Cummings-Bentley, who is now friends with Amhai, has dismissed the rumours.
"I don't think he really wants anything said about him," he said according to The Daily Dot. "He is just a very, very wealthy individual."
"He loves seeing the reactions from people. He loves seeing how happy it can make someone, and knowing that it can change their lives."
