TikToker Hanna Benta has finally lifted the lid on her financial success, confirming that her wealth is no stroke of luck but a result of the massive earnings she generates through TikTok lives.
Speaking in an interview with YouTuber 2mbili on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, the content creator broke down the numbers that have left many questioning the source of her affluent lifestyle.
She revealed that there was a day she managed to rake in Ksh200,000 in a mere five minutes on the platform.
“There was a day I earned 200k in just five minutes on TikTok. The least I have ever made, I cannot recall,” she said.
While she admitted she could not recall the lowest amount she had ever earned, she noted that other Kenyan TikTokers like Prince Mwiti sometimes surpass her own earnings.
She further estimated that she has previously made as much as Ksh300,000 within a few minutes during her sessions.
“However, there are other Kenyan TikTokers who make more than me sometimes, like Prince Mwiti. But I think I have even made 300k in a few minutes on TikTok,” Hanna said.
Hanna explained that her peak earnings usually occur during TikTok matches, which she identified as her primary goldmine.
She recalled a specific instance during an official TikTok match where her total earnings for a single live broadcast hit approximately Ksh1.5 million.
Describing the experience, the influencer mentioned that the gifts were coming in so fast that the money felt uncountable. She specifically pointed out receiving over 20 Universe gifts, noting that each of those virtual tokens carries immense monetary value.
“When I do a TikTok match, that is when I usually earn the most money. There was a time I got around 1 point something million in one single live, and that was during an official TikTok match. I have never done an official match since. The money was uncountable; I had Universe gifts totalling over 20, and you know a Universe gift equals a lot of money,” she stated.
Despite that record-breaking day, Hanna mentioned that she has never participated in an official match since, sticking instead to the daily unofficial matches common on the app.
She insisted that the big spenders who used to surprise creators have not disappeared but are still very much active.
According to her, the platform remains a highly profitable venture where people are still making a fortune through the generosity of their fans.
“We usually have matches every day, but not the official ones. It is not like the gifters who used to surprise TikTokers don’t exist; they are still there, and people are still making good money,” she said.
