TikTok users can support their favorite creators by sending them donations in the form of digital gifts, including things like the Lion. But how much is a Lion worth? Like many other social media platforms, TikTok has its own live-streaming feature, allowing users who meet certain requirements to go live from their accounts and interact with viewers in real-time. TikTok also has its own donation system which allows users to send their favorite streamers real money in the form of ‘gifts’ which can be bought with TikTok coins. Each virtual gift costs a different amount of coins, so naturally, if you want to donate more money to a specific creator, you would send them a more expensive gift. The Lion is just one of the many gifts that you are able to send people on the app, but how much is it worth?
On TikTok, the Lion gift costs 29,999 coins, which equates to about $400 US dollars. While many of the gifts you can send people on TikTok are relatively cheap, the Lion is one of the more expensive ones, so if you see this pop up in a live stream you are watching or hosting, you’ll know someone has donated a considerable amount of money. Other expensive virtual gifts you might encounter include the Gorilla, Zeus, and Universe. If you want to donate a gift to someone on TikTok (whether that’s the Lion or a much smaller gift like the rose) you’ll need to first purchase TikTok coins using real money. To do this, go to your profile, click on the three lines, then go to ‘Settings and privacy.’ Then, click on the ‘Balance’ tab, and tap ‘Recharge’ next to your balance.
What is the most expensive gift on TikTok?
The most expensive gift on TikTok is the Universe, which costs 44,999 coins and is worth around $562. However, it’s worth noting that the value of these virtual gifts can fluctuate.
