The Galaxy virtual item is a popular way for patrons to support their favorite Tiktok creators. Find out how much the Galaxy gift costs in real money.

Ever seen the astonishing Galaxy gift during a TikTok live stream and wondered how much the patron paid for it? Fans love keeping their favorite creators in business. Sometimes that means buying their work, and sometimes it means donating. While viewers can't throw cash into a guitar case in the virtual world, platforms like TikTok have found ways for viewers to support artists similarly with the Gifts feature. Paid for by fans, creators are gifted virtual items that can be exchanged for virtual diamonds and converted into real-world cash.

When watching a live stream, supporting a favorite content creator on TikTok is easy. Next to the ‘Add Comment’ feature, select the ‘Gift’ icon. Alternatively, the ‘Rose’ icon can be chosen, but this will only send a rose and not allow the user to select another option. Once the ‘Gift’ feature has been selected, choose from the many choices at different prices. Some gifts are simple vector images, while others come with exciting and creative effects. For 1,000 coins, the Galaxy displays a beautiful illustration of the universe to content creators and viewers.

Converting Coins To Dollars

Users purchasing coins for the first time probably want to know what 1,000 coins represents in actual dollars. The price of the Galaxy gift ultimately comes down to which gift package the user chooses. Currently, 65 coins are listed at $0.99, which would make 1,000 coins worth $15.84. However, a higher bundle of 1,321 coins can be purchased at $19.99, putting the gift's price at $15.13. Prices on the bundles can change at any time, so be prepared to pay more or less.

While the Galaxy gift on TikTok is not the most expensive, it’s a popular option. Some items like the Lion go for over $400. Content creators will appreciate anyone who spends that much on their live feeds. TikTok also offers discounts to users purchasing bundles for the first time. Each bundle will include a bonus amount of coins, depending on the package.

How Much Do TikTokers Make From Gifts?

It’s also worth noting that the creators don’t get paid the same amount that users spend on their gifts. On the creator end, diamonds are what can be cashed out as real money — and diamonds are worth less than coins. Diamonds are valued at half the value of a coin, meaning creators ultimately only get half of the cost of the gifts. So, if a Galaxy costs the user about $15 (give or take a few cents depending on bundle options), the creator will end up getting about $7-8.

If the intention is to ensure the creator receives a specific dollar amount, the sender will have to spend more money. Fan of a creator worthy enough for a Galaxy gift? Catch their next live stream on TikTok and support their creativity.
