Uros Stanic Cries on TikTok Live Over 20,000 in Gifts

Former Elite 9 contestant Uros Stanic received gifts worth roughly 20,000 from a fan in the United States during a TikTok live stream, first reported on August 10 by Mondo and Informer. The woman is Elvina Kasumovic. She is originally from Cazin and now lives in the United States.

Stanic broke down in tears during the broadcast. He could not hide his reaction in front of viewers, and in the middle of the live stream he asked her to stop.

Please don’t send anything else, I don’t know how to thank you. Please don’t spend any more on me.

He then turned to the rest of the audience and asked them to react as well.

Please send hearts for Elvina. She deserves it, she truly blew me away.

That live stream was not a random appearance. After leaving Elite 9, Stanic first spoke out publicly through TikTok, where he has since streamed live almost regularly. During that broadcast he addressed three things:

• his impressions after nine months in the reality show
• the violence he says he suffered from certain other contestants
• the gifts that started arriving during the stream itself

How much did she actually send

This is where precision matters, because the figure is not reported the same way everywhere. Informer puts the value at 20,000 dollars. Mondo’s article also says 20,000 dollars, but its headline says 20,000 euros. The difference between the two currencies on an amount this size is not trivial, and neither outlet cites official confirmation from the platform on the value of the gifts sent.

What remains certain is this. The gifts were sent inside the app, worth roughly 20,000, and it is the largest amount Stanic has publicly received during a single stream.

The money does not reach him directly. TikTok gifts are not a bank transfer. A viewer first buys virtual coins, sends them as animated gifts, and only afterward does the creator convert them into funds the platform pays out, minus its own commission. The amount that ultimately reaches the user is lower than the face value of the gifts seen on screen.

Why did she send so much?

Elvina Kasumovic explained this on the same live stream. She said she has followed Stanic for years and watched the entire last season, all nine months of it, because of him. She said she had been saving the money specifically to send him support once he left the show.

In other words, the decision was not a spur of the moment reaction to the broadcast. It was made while the season was still airing and carried out as soon as Stanic left.

Violence, lawsuits and negotiations for Elite 10

During the same broadcast, Stanic also spoke about violence he says he suffered from certain Elite 9 contestants. Informer reports that he named Asmin Durdzic among them. Stanic also announced that he is preparing lawsuits, with his lawyers, against several people from the show.

The gifts arrived just as he is negotiating a return for the new season. He had already spoken openly, and with a number, about his price.

I’m negotiating for Elite 10, I’m not afraid of anything. I’m not teaming up with anyone. This season I want a big fee and good conditions, I’m asking for 150,000 euros, without that I’m not coming in. I think I deserve it, I gave blood and sweat, I don’t think I should come in for a miserable fee. Everything depends on the conditions and the fee, whether I’ll join.

The figure of 150,000 euros is a negotiating position, not a signed contract. The production company has not commented on Stanic’s fee for the next season.

For a contestant negotiating his entry, money earned outside the production is not insignificant. One live stream brought him more than most contestants earn in a month inside the house, without any conditions from the production. That is an argument that makes itself in negotiations.

Stanic has not yet said whether he converted the gift or how much of the 20,000 actually reached him. Elvina Kasumovic has not spoken publicly since the live stream.
