Pokimane Biography 2026: From a $250 PC to Twitch Royalty

Pokimane — real name Imane Anys — is a Moroccan-Canadian streamer, YouTuber and entrepreneur who turned a $250 second-hand computer into one of the biggest careers in livestreaming. Born on 14 May 1996 in Morocco, she is 30 years old in 2026, and as of June 2026 she is still the most-followed female streamer on Twitch, with more than 9.4 million followers. Her estimated net worth sits at $6 million to $7 million, anchored by Celebrity Net Worth’s $6 million estimate, updated 28 January 2026.

That headline number needs honest framing. No verified balance sheet for Pokimane exists, and she has said herself that online net-worth pages tend to overstate creator wealth because they leave out taxes. Public estimates for her run from about $2 million to $25 million, and the gap between those ends says more about how little creator income is public than it does about her bank account. What the record does show, in unusual detail, is how she built the career: a League of Legends stream started in a student bedroom, a co-founded creator house, two Twitch exclusivity deals, a talent-management firm, a fashion partnership, a snack brand that went wrong in public, and a deliberate break from platform exclusivity in 2024. This biography follows that whole arc, with every figure tied to the outlet that reported it. Last updated: 7 November 2026. By Celebamerica Editorial Staff.

Early Life and Family: Morocco to Canada

Imane Anys was born on 14 May 1996 in Morocco. Her mother has Berber ancestry, and both of her parents were academics. When she was four years old, the family immigrated to Quebec, Canada, and she grew up in Ontario. The move shaped almost everything about her on camera: she grew up speaking French at home, added English at school, and later picked up Moroccan Arabic, so she switches between languages with an ease that became part of her stream’s personality.

Little about her childhood was public in the way celebrity childhoods usually are, because she was not famous as a child — she was a student from an immigrant academic family, and her early years only became a story in hindsight, once millions of people were watching her play games. What is known is that the household valued education, and the path laid out for her was a conventional professional one. She has talked about the weight of that expectation: the daughter of two academics, pointed toward a serious degree, who found herself pulled toward something her parents’ generation had no name for. That tension — between the respectable degree and the unproven internet career — runs through the first half of her story, and it is the reason the McMaster chapter matters as much as any award that came later.

Growing up in Ontario also put her in the middle of a particular gaming culture. League of Legends was the game that defined her teens, and by the time she reached university she was playing at a level most casual players never touch. She has described reaching the Platinum rank as the moment the idea of streaming stopped being a joke. It was not a plan; it was a dare to herself, backed by a cheap computer and a free platform. The family story, then, is not one of show-business parents or early fame. It is the more common immigrant story of a child who took the tools she was given — a good education, three languages, a work ethic — and pointed them somewhere nobody in her family had expected.

Education: Chemical Engineering at McMaster

Anys enrolled at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, to study chemical engineering. It was a demanding degree, the kind chosen by students who are good at maths and science and want a career that justifies the effort. She has never hidden that she was a strong student, and nothing in her account of university suggests she was failing out. She left because streaming was working, not because the degree was not.

The decision to drop out is the first real risk in her biography, and it is worth pausing on, because it was not a small one in 2013 and 2014. Twitch was still young, streaming paid almost nobody, and a chemical engineering degree from McMaster was a near-guarantee of a stable professional life. She walked away from the guarantee for an income that, at the time, was measured in tens of dollars a month. Friends and family worried, and she has said the worry was fair. What she had, and what made the gamble rational rather than reckless, was evidence: her channel was growing month on month, her League of Legends audience was loyal, and the hours she spent streaming were producing a community that showed up every day.

The engineering background still shows in how she talks about her career. She approaches platform changes, contracts and business ventures with a systems mindset — she reads the terms, she asks what the incentives are, and she has repeatedly stepped back from deals that looked good on the surface. That habit started, arguably, in a McMaster lecture hall. It also gave her a fallback she never needed: even as her channel grew past a million followers, she could point to a real education and say the streaming career was a choice, not a last resort. In 2021 she went further and created a University of California, Irvine esports scholarship, putting money back into the exact overlap of study and gaming that defined her own start.

The Twitch Beginning: A Second-Hand PC and League of Legends

Anys created her Twitch account in June 2013. She began streaming later that year, after reaching the Platinum rank in League of Legends, on a $250 PC she bought second-hand on Kijiji, the Canadian classifieds site. The handle was Pokimane — Pokémon plus her name — and the setup was about as far from a professional studio as it is possible to get. The stream was, at first, simply her playing a game she loved, talking to whoever happened to stop by.

The early years were slow in the way all creator careers are slow before they are not. She streamed League of Legends, built a small audience game by game, and learned the craft in public: how to talk while playing, how to keep a chat room friendly, how to show up on a schedule when nobody was paying her to. There was no viral moment, no single clip that made her. The growth was steady, and that steadiness turned out to be the point. By the time the platform’s bigger waves arrived — Fortnite in 2017 and 2018, Among Us in 2020, Valorant from 2020 onward — she already had years of practice and an audience that trusted her.

What set her apart in those early years was range. Plenty of streamers could play one game well; fewer could hold a room while doing it, and fewer still could move between a ranked League match, a Just Chatting session and a casual game with friends without losing the thread. Her chat was known for being unusually welcoming for a large gaming channel, and she worked at that on purpose, setting rules and enforcing them. That community management — unglamorous, daily, invisible when it works — is a large part of why her audience stayed when other channels of the same era faded.

Breakout Years: 2017, the Shorty Award, and the Top 100

The year 2017 changed everything. Anys gained 450,000 followers on Twitch in a single year, a pace that carried her account into the platform’s 100 most-followed channels. At the end of that year she won Best Twitch Streamer at the Shorty Awards, the first major industry honour of her career. She was 21, four years into streaming, and suddenly one of the most visible women in gaming.

The timing mattered. In 2017 Twitch was crossing into the mainstream, Fortnite was about to explode, and brands were starting to take creators seriously as media channels. Pokimane was positioned at the centre of all three shifts at once: a skilled player, a natural host, and a woman succeeding in a space that was still overwhelmingly male. The attention brought both opportunity and scrutiny. Her chat grew faster than any moderation team could keep up with, and she became a lightning rod for the uglier side of gaming culture — a dynamic she has spent much of her career managing in public, with unusual frankness about what it costs.

Two moves in 2017 set the shape of the next six years. The first was OfflineTV, the creator house she co-founded that same year, which turned a solo stream into a group enterprise. The second was a move to Los Angeles, which put her physically inside the creator economy’s centre of gravity: near the other streamers, the talent agencies, the brand teams and the studios. Neither move was accidental. She has described the Los Angeles years as the point where streaming stopped being a hobby with income and became a business with staff, schedules and strategy — and where she learned, sometimes the hard way, how much of that business she actually wanted to run herself.

OfflineTV: Co-Founding a Creator House

In 2017, Anys co-founded OfflineTV with William “Scarra” Li and Chris Chan — a Los Angeles-based collective of streamers built so its members could live together, keep each other company and make videos together. The idea was simple and, at the time, unusual: instead of competing for the same audience from separate bedrooms, a group of creators would share a house, a schedule and an audience, and the collaborations would lift everyone. It worked. OfflineTV became one of the most influential creator groups in gaming, won Best Content Organization at The Streamer Awards in 2023, and launched or boosted the careers of members including LilyPichu, Disguised Toast, Michael Reeves, Yvonnie and QuarterJade.

Pokimane was a founding member in the fullest sense. She was there from the first house, helped shape the group’s tone — playful, low-drama, built around friendship rather than rivalry — and became its most recognisable face. For six years she was the group’s anchor: the member other creators orbited, the one whose stream could carry a collaboration, the one new members were introduced through. The group’s videos, from cooking challenges to talent shows, regularly pulled millions of views, and her presence in them was a large part of why.

On 19 May 2023, OfflineTV announced that Pokimane was “graduating” from full-time membership. She was the first member to graduate, and the word was chosen with care: she was not leaving in anger, and she was not cut off. She explained that scheduling had made it harder and harder to be a full-time member, and that it was time to join the “and friends” part of OfflineTV and friends. The group posted a farewell video, “Thank you Pokimane”, and members including Scarra paid tribute to her as a founder who had been there since the start. She has continued to appear with the group occasionally, and she has said she will always be part of the OfflineTV family — but the graduation marked a real shift. The house that had been her professional home for six years was now something she visited, not somewhere she lived. It was also, in hindsight, the first public step in a wider pulling-back: from group life, from exclusivity, from the version of her career that other people had built around her.

Twitch Deals, Exclusivity, and the 2024 Break

Pokimane’s relationship with Twitch has always been the spine of her career, and its contract history tells the story of the platform itself. She signed a multi-year exclusive deal with Twitch in March 2020, at the height of the platform wars, when YouTube was offering top streamers large sums to switch. She has since said YouTube made her a “life-changing” offer during those negotiations — and that she turned it down to stay on Twitch, where her community already lived. She re-signed with Twitch in February 2022, doubling down on the platform that had made her.

Then, on 30 January 2024, she announced she was ending her Twitch exclusivity, calling it “the end of an era”. In a post on X she wrote that Twitch had been her home for a decade, but that it was time to say thank you for the memories “during my League, Fortnite and Among Us days”. She was careful about the wording, and the detail mattered: she was not quitting Twitch, and she was not signing with a rival. She was ending the exclusivity itself, which left her free to stream wherever and whenever she wanted — on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram alike. Polygon, reporting the move on 31 January 2024, noted that she had described Twitch as “messy” and said she no longer wanted to be “emotionally invested” in the platform.

The context helps explain why. Twitch had spent 2023 and early 2024 changing the terms for its partners: new rules on branded content, changes to the Plus Program, and a broader retreat from the huge exclusivity contracts that had defined the previous era. Twitch’s own chief executive, Dan Clancy, had signalled that the platform was stepping back from massive exclusivity deals, and the rules were changing to allow partners to multistream. Pokimane’s exit was not a protest so much as a reading of the room: the exclusive deal no longer bought what it used to, and the freedom to be everywhere was worth more than a single-platform cheque. Since the break she has streamed non-exclusively, and the move has become a case study in how the biggest creators now treat platforms — as channels, not homes.

One verified number from this period deserves a place in any honest account. The October 2021 Twitch data leak exposed creator payout figures, and Dexerto’s reporting of the leaked data put Pokimane’s Twitch payouts at roughly $1.53 million over about 26 months, from August 2019 to October 2021, making her the 39th-highest-earning streamer in the leaked set. It is the only independently verified income figure on her public record, and it is also narrow: payouts are one revenue line, before tax, and they say nothing about sponsorships, YouTube, merchandise or business income. It is useful as a floor, not as a net worth.

How Pokimane Makes Her Money

Pokimane’s income has never come from one place, and that is deliberate. The streams are the engine, but the money arrives through half a dozen channels, and the mix has shifted over the years as she has moved from player to personality to founder. A reader who wants the full dollar-by-dollar treatment of her wealth should read Pokimane’s net worth on GuideNetWorth, which works through the same public estimates in depth; what follows here is the shape of the machine that produces them.

The first and steadiest stream is Twitch itself: subscriptions, Bits, and advertising on her channel. With more than 9.4 million followers, even a modest subscriber count produces serious monthly revenue, and the leaked payout figure — about $1.53 million across 26 months from August 2019 to October 2021 — gives a sense of the scale before her audience grew further. Twitch revenue is also the most volatile line: it rises and falls with hours streamed, and she has streamed less in recent years as she has spread herself across platforms and projects.

The second stream is YouTube, where she runs several channels covering gaming clips, vlogs, podcasts and unedited VODs, with roughly 6.6 million subscribers across them. YouTube pays less per viewer than Twitch subscriptions do, but it pays forever: a video posted in 2020 still earns in 2026. One caution belongs here. Net Worth Spot, in an October 2026 update, put her YouTube ad earnings at roughly $328,000 — a figure that has been quoted out of context as her net worth. It is not. It is a projection of YouTube advertising alone, and treating it as a wealth figure would be like valuing a house by counting one year’s rent.

The third stream is sponsorships and brand deals, and it is the one she talks about least and earns from most. Over the years she has worked with gaming hardware brands including HyperX and NZXT, and with a long tail of game publishers and consumer brands that pay for a mention, a sponsored stream or a longer ambassadorship. These deals are covered by non-disclosure agreements, which is why no reliable public figure exists for them. The honest statement is that brand work is a major share of her income, and that its size is one of the main reasons public estimates disagree so widely.

The fourth stream is business income: her stake in RTS, which she later sold; her partnership with the apparel brand Cloak; and Myna Snacks, which generated revenue but, by her own account in April 2026, no personal profit for her. The fifth is smaller and steadier: merchandise, appearance fees, and her cameo work, including the Free Guy appearance in 2021. None of these lines is public in audited form. Added together, they are why the most careful outlets refuse to name a single number — and why the range in the next section is the honest answer.

Net Worth Breakdown: Why the Estimates Disagree

Ask ten sites what Pokimane is worth and you will get ten answers, spread across more than $20 million. That spread is the story. The table below sets out the main published positions as of late 2026, with the basis for each, so the reader can see exactly where the numbers come from — and which ones deserve weight.

Our adjudication is this: the defensible range is $6 million to $7 million, anchored by Celebrity Net Worth’s $6 million and StoriesBuzz’s $6–$7 million, both from 2026. The $25 million high end comes from an aggregator that discloses no method, and the $2 million low end counts only documented income while ignoring brand deals and business value. Both ends are honest about being guesses; the middle is where two independent outlets, writing months apart, landed on the same figure. Two warnings travel with that number. First, Pokimane herself said in a 2023 WIRED interview that online net-worth figures tend to overestimate because they fail to account for Los Angeles taxes — and she has never disclosed a figure of her own. Second, a creator’s wealth is mostly private: subscriber counts are public, but contract values, equity stakes, tax bills and investment returns are not, so any single number should be read as an estimate with wide error bars, not a fact.

Business Ventures: RTS, Cloak, and Myna Snacks

Pokimane’s business career is the most instructive part of her biography, because it contains both a clean win and a public lesson. The win was RTS. In October 2021 she co-founded the talent management and brand consulting firm as Chief Creative Officer, alongside a team led by chief executive Stuart Saw, a former Twitch and Endeavor executive, and backed by Endeavor. The pitch was to fix what was broken in gaming talent management: creators were signing deals they did not understand, with agencies that did not understand them. RTS launched with Pokimane as its public face and creative lead, and it raised $3 million at company level. She later sold her stake, and in April 2026 she said the sale earned her “at least six figures”. She also said, in the same account, that she never made money from OfflineTV’s equity, because she and her co-founders never sold the company — a useful correction to the assumption that every venture she touched paid off.

The Cloak partnership came earlier, in 2020, when she joined the lifestyle apparel brand built by Markiplier and Jacksepticeye as a partner and creative director. Cloak sold comfortable, everyday clothing aimed at gamers and introverts, and her role was to shape the creative direction rather than simply wear the product. It was a smaller venture than RTS, but it taught her the same lesson RTS did: a creator’s name can open doors that a traditional founder would spend years knocking on, and the work after the door opens is the same unglamorous work any business demands.

Myna Snacks was the lesson that went wrong in public. On 13 November 2023 she announced her own food brand, selling “healthy alternative” cookies — the first product was Midnight Mini Cookies, gluten-free and with added vitamin D. The launch drew immediate backlash over pricing: a box of four packs cost $28, and the criticism was loud enough that she addressed it on stream. A Myna spokesperson told Dexerto at the time that the formula was “unique and exclusive to Myna” and had been in development for two years. The brand launched a second product, but the controversy never fully faded, and the business never found its footing.

Two years on, Myna had gone quiet. As Dexerto reported on 29 December 2025, both products had been unavailable since October 2025, all social media activity from the brand had stopped on 30 October 2025, and the company’s website no longer listed contact information. On 8 December 2025, Myna’s chief executive and co-founder Darcey Macken was appointed chief operating officer at Jones Soda Co. Pokimane said nothing publicly until 1 April 2026, when she explained her exit in a TikTok video. The launch, she said, “did not go as we planned”, and it taught her that “what it means to be a content creator is very, very different from what it means to be a business owner”. She said she stepped away once she realised it was not the right time to be the face of a product, let the company continue as it pleased, and took no profits from the brand — any money it made went to staff and reinvestment. It was a candid account, and a rare one: most creators bury a failed venture. She explained hers, named the mistake, and moved on. The Myna chapter is now the clearest evidence in her story that fame and business skill are different things — and that she knows it.

Beyond Gaming: Podcasts, YouTube, and Mainstream Moments

Streaming was never the whole of Pokimane’s career, and the work outside Twitch is where her range shows. On YouTube she runs several channels — gaming clips, vlogs, podcasts and unedited VODs — that together reach roughly 6.6 million subscribers, and the YouTube audience is different from the Twitch one: it finds her through search and recommendation, not through a live schedule, and it has kept growing even as her live hours have fallen.

Podcasting became a second home. She hosted “Don’t Tell Anyone”, which ended in June 2024, and co-hosted “Sweet n Sour” with LilyPichu, which ran for 68 episodes before ending in April 2026. The podcasts mattered because they let her talk without a game on screen — about the industry, about fame, about the business decisions other creators only whisper about. It was on “Sweet n Sour” that she revealed the “life-changing” YouTube offer she had turned down to stay on Twitch, a disclosure that said more about her priorities than any press release could.

Her mainstream moments have been chosen, not chased. In October 2020 she played Among Us on stream with US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Representative Ilhan Omar, in a broadcast that drew hundreds of thousands of live viewers and became one of the most-watched political streams ever on the platform. In 2021 she had a cameo in Free Guy, the Ryan Reynolds film, alongside several other streamers — a small part, but a signal of how far gaming culture had travelled into the mainstream. She has appeared in music videos, and her name turns up in coverage of the creator economy whenever a journalist needs an example of a streamer who built something bigger than a channel. The through-line is restraint: she has said no to far more than she has said yes to, and the public appearances she has made tend to be the ones that fit the career she actually wants.

Awards and Recognition

Pokimane’s honours list is short, and that is worth saying plainly: she has not collected trophies the way a film star collects them, because streaming’s award culture is young and thin. What she has won, she won early and for the work itself. The Shorty Award for Best Twitch Streamer in 2017 recognised the breakout year — the 450,000 new followers, the top-100 ranking, the community she had built from a $250 PC. Forbes named her to its 30 Under 30 list in the Games category in 2021, the year she co-founded RTS and appeared in Free Guy, and the citation treated her as a founder as much as a streamer.

The recognition that matters more is the kind that does not come with a trophy. She holds the record that defines her career: the most-followed female streamer on Twitch, a title she has held for years, with 9.46 million followers as of June 2026 and a ranking of 16th most-followed overall on a platform where the top of the list is dominated by men. OfflineTV’s win for Best Content Organization at The Streamer Awards in 2023 belongs to the group, but she was its co-founder and its most visible member, and the award recognised the house she helped build. The scholarship she created at the University of California, Irvine — an esports scholarship, linking study and gaming the way her own life had — is the kind of honour that does not photograph well and matters anyway.

Personal Life: Health, Privacy, and PCOS

Pokimane guards her private life more carefully than most creators of her size, and the reporting on it reflects that: there is very little verified information about her relationships, and what circulates is mostly rumour. She has never publicly confirmed a long-term partner, and reports that name one — including a recurring rumour linking her to Kevin Kim — are unsourced. A TikTok she posted in February 2026, showing her going to the gym with a neighbour, was read by gossip sites as a relationship hint; it was nothing of the kind, and this article does not repeat the claim as fact. Her dating life is private, and the honest statement is that it is private.

What she has chosen to share, she has shared on her own terms. In 2024 she publicly disclosed a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that affects millions of women and is rarely discussed by public figures. The disclosure was brief and factual, in keeping with how she handles personal subjects: state it, normalise it, move on. She has also spoken about the health costs of a decade of streaming — the sedentary hours, the pressure to be on camera every day, the way an audience can make rest feel like failure — and her reduced streaming schedule in recent years is, in part, a response to that.

She lives in Los Angeles, where she moved after the OfflineTV house came together, and her day-to-day life is built around a smaller circle than the public one: friends from the creator world, family she stays close to, and a routine that now includes time away from the camera. She has paid off her parents’ retirement, according to a 2026 profile — the kind of detail that says more about her values than any award does. The private life, in short, is deliberately boring, and that is the point. A decade of being watched taught her where the line is, and she holds it.

Controversies and Public Scrutiny

A creator with 9.4 million followers does not go a decade without controversy, and Pokimane’s record is best understood as a series of public arguments about what a streamer owes her audience — and what the audience owes her. The Myna pricing backlash in November 2023 was the sharpest of them: a $28 box of cookies became a proxy argument about creator wealth, about whether streamers should sell products at all, and about how much of a fan’s money a creator is entitled to ask for. She answered it on stream, directly and at length, and the argument eventually faded. The business did not recover, but the way she handled the criticism — engaging with it rather than deleting it — is part of why her audience stayed.

The second recurring argument is about Twitch itself. Her January 2024 announcement that she was leaving exclusivity came with a criticism of the platform as “messy”, and she has been frank about the frustrations of a decade on a service that changed its rules under her. That frankness has sometimes put her at odds with Twitch loyalists, and sometimes with other creators, but it has also made her one of the few top streamers willing to say in public what most say only in private.

The third is the background noise of being a woman at the top of a male-dominated platform: harassment, rumours about her relationships, and the constant low-level argument about whether her success is “deserved” in a way a male streamer’s would not be questioned. She has addressed this directly over the years, including a public pushback in 2020 against the casual use of the word “simp” to dismiss her audience. None of these episodes has produced a legal case, a suspension or a sponsor exodus, and that absence is itself a fact: the controversies in her record are arguments, not scandals, and they have been handled in the open, on her own channels, in her own words.

Pokimane Age, Height, and Quick Answers

For readers who came here with one question, here are the short answers, each tied to its source. Pokimane is 30 years old in 2026, born Imane Anys on 14 May 1996 in Morocco. She is 5 feet 4 inches tall (163 cm), a figure that matches her own words in a 2014 post and is the consensus across profiles. Her real name is Imane Anys, and “Pokimane” is a blend of Pokémon and her name. She is Moroccan-Canadian: born in Morocco, raised in Quebec and Ontario after her family immigrated when she was four, and now based in Los Angeles.

She has been active since 2013, when she created her Twitch account in June of that year, and she has been streaming for more than a decade — longer than most of the platform’s current stars have been adults. She co-founded OfflineTV in 2017 and graduated from full-time membership in May 2023. She signed Twitch exclusivity deals in March 2020 and February 2022, then ended exclusivity in January 2024 and now streams non-exclusively across Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Her estimated net worth is $6 million to $7 million, anchored by Celebrity Net Worth’s $6 million estimate, updated 28 January 2026. She is not married, has no publicly confirmed partner, and keeps her private life out of her content.

Legacy and Influence

Pokimane’s influence is easy to understate, because it does not look like influence in the traditional sense. She did not invent a genre or a game. What she did was prove, over more than a decade, that a woman could be the biggest streamer on a platform built by and for men, and could do it without playing a character — by being good at games, good at hosting, and good at keeping a room kind. Every woman streaming on Twitch today works in a space she helped make survivable.

The business legacy is separate and arguably larger. OfflineTV showed that creators could build institutions, not just channels. RTS showed that a streamer could sit on the other side of the talent-management table. Myna showed the limit of that power, and her public account of why it failed is now one of the most useful documents in the creator economy for anyone thinking of putting their name on a product. The 2024 break from Twitch exclusivity showed that the biggest creators no longer need a single platform’s permission to exist. Each of those moves was watched, copied and argued about by thousands of smaller creators, and that is what influence looks like in this industry: not a speech, but a decision other people repeat.

The record is not finished. She is 30, still streaming, still building, and the next chapter — whether it is a new venture, a return to a bigger streaming schedule, or something entirely outside gaming — is unwritten. What the first thirteen years show is a pattern: she takes the risk, she learns in public, she keeps the parts that work, and she says plainly when something did not. That pattern is the biography.

How we estimated: Pokimane has never disclosed her net worth, and no verified balance sheet exists. The $6 million to $7 million range in this article is anchored by Celebrity Net Worth’s $6 million estimate (updated 28 January 2026) and StoriesBuzz’s $6–$7 million figure (January 2026). Wider published estimates run from about $2 million to $25 million; the $25 million high end comes from an aggregator that discloses no method, and a $328,000 figure from Net Worth Spot counts YouTube ad revenue only. The one verified income figure on record is about $1.53 million in Twitch payouts from August 2019 to October 2021, surfaced by the 2021 Twitch data leak and reported by Dexerto. Estimates may differ from private reality, and Pokimane herself has said online figures tend to overstate creator wealth because they leave out taxes.
