ZEvent Ends With Record Multi‑Million Haul in Final Edition

Hundreds of streamers using micro-donations, tombolas and high-value gifts pushed the fundraiser to unprecedented totals for distribution to 22 charities by Fondation de France.

Overview

  • The tenth and announced final ZEvent, held in Montpellier over the weekend of Sept. 3–6, 2026, raised reported totals in the tens of millions of euros as streams closed Sunday night.
  • Media outlets published stepwise milestones during the three-day marathon with mid-event figures from €11 million to more than €26 million and a three-day total reported at €32.8 million.
  • Individual streamers drove large sums on personal pages, most notably Mastu whose cagnotte ran into the millions and who made a €100,000 on-stream donation after meeting a fundraising threshold.
  • The event mixed very large gifts from public figures such as Bigflo & Oli and Gims with an 'army' of small online donations and incentive mechanics like tombolas and 'battleboost' duels to spur giving.
  • Fondation de France will collect and allocate the proceeds to the 22 named beneficiary associations, and the final edition capped a decade of streamer-led fundraising that had already raised more than €58 million before 2026.
