A new milestone has been reached on Steam, as a user has spent an estimated half a million dollars to achieve the highest account level of 5900.
Steam account levels can be obtained by playing games and unlocking badges, but they can also be achieved faster by purchasing badges from the market.
In order to reach the highest account level, players must be willing to invest a significant amount of money in the Steam marketplace. This has led to intense competition among the wealthiest users to secure the top spot.
ST4CK, a renowned CS skin collector, held the highest level for a significant period, surpassing 5000 levels which he claimed cost approximately $500,000 to achieve. However, he has now been surpassed by a new competitor who has surpassed him by nearly 1000 levels.
The latest holder of the highest level was brought to the attention of CS2 streamer ohnePixel, who was amazed by the incredible achievement. The 5101 badge had never been achieved before, making it even more impressive.
Stasik, the user, predictably boasts a vast collection of top-tier CS2 skins such as numerous AWP Dragon Lores and M4A4 Howls, each one worth tens of thousands.
“According to ohnePixel, these individuals possess an excessive amount of wealth. He claimed that one person even went as far as spending more than $500,000 to attain a certain level on Steam. It raises the question of what kind of person would have such a large sum of money to spare solely for the purpose of showing off on the internet.”
Upon reviewing the user’s in-game skins, ohnePixel also uncovered sticker designs that include racial slurs, potentially leading to a ban of the account.
Stasik’s steam account now displays level 5960.
The estimated value of the owner’s inventory is approximately $300,000, contributing to a total account value of nearly $1 million. Although the account claims the owner is from the United Arab Emirates, this information cannot be verified.
Despite previously holding the top spot, ST4CK received a community ban in 2023 for unknown reasons. However, the ban was later overturned.
Ever since ohnePixel’s video, stasick has been consistently leveling up his account, which currently stands at 5960 as of writing. Such a high level has surpassed Steam’s available custom badges.
It can be assumed that the next milestone is reaching level 6000.
