TikTok diamonds to dollars: what they're really worth
1 diamond is worth about $0.005, half a cent. 1,000 diamonds are roughly $5.
Where diamonds come from
Viewers buy coins and use them to send gifts. Every coin that arrives as a gift turns into one diamond for the streamer. A 1,000 coin gift means 1,000 diamonds.

Why does the streamer only get about half?
A coin costs the viewer roughly 1 to 1.4 cents depending on where they buy it. The streamer receives about 0.5 cents per coin. The rest goes to TikTok, and for in-app purchases to Apple or Google.
Agencies are paid by TikTok and don't take anything from the streamer's diamonds.
