A lot of those streamers are pretty open about how twitch revenue is a small portion of their earnings.

Ninja was famously paid $1MM for an 8 hour ad of playing Apex at launch.

I've had private conversation with large streaming friends that have all said independently that the amount they get paid from a short Raid Shadow Legends ad is huge. One said it's enough to buy a nice car, and if they hit their target downloads (w/ link) the number jumps up to enough to buy multiple nice cars.

There is a lot of big money for streamers, not just big streamers.

I saw a thread on twitter as part of this leak that showed chat of a streamer turning down around $1.6 million a month to advertise a gambling website, because another one was paying more.

I'm not surprised by any of this. If you ever did any digging in to how much advertising pays, ran numbers on twitch subs, etc, these numbers match that quite closely.
