Generally individuals as wealthy as him (he makes literally millions from twitch, and that is only taking into account his take home from that platform, not including any money on other platforms, donations, and merch sales) do become capitalists, as they almost invariably invest that wealth into capital.

However, without looking into him (and I already have looked into him far more than I would otherwise have just so I could answer this in good faith), I couldn’t say whether or not he has purchased capital. What I can say is that arguments could easily be made that his access to wealth puts him in the petit bourgeois camp.

Regardless, just based off Twitch streaming as like, a job, I would say that he could be considered intelligentsia. I wasn’t specifically calling him bourgeois, was just replying to a point about bourgeois class traitors. The main thrust of my contention is that we shouldn’t spend time poking into every rich person’s thoughts and feelings, because, ultimately, nearly every one of them will side with capitalism as a system because that is the system that gives them access to their wealth.

Rather, we should just assume the wealthy are not on our side, and focus our efforts on thinking about more important things than what this actor or that popstar have to say. Unless and until they are actually willing to use their wealth to betray their class interests in support of the good of the people, I just don’t see how them generally sucking or not matters.
