How much are Gifts worth on TikTok Live?

In case you aren’t aware, TikTok allows users to send their favorite content creators Gifts on their videos and Live streams. Gifts are virtual items that have actual dollar amounts attached to them. You can purchase them using Coins on TikTok, but these Coins have to be purchased with real money.

Having Coins on your account means that you can spend them on Gifts to offer a content creator. These items range from a simple Rose that costs one Coin, but items like animated Lions can cost nearly 30,000 coins.

These can be offered or even spammed on a person’s TikTok Live and can then be translated into real money.

See, content creators can trade in their Gifts for virtual Diamonds. From there, they can be exchanged for some real cash in your bank account.
