Any TikTok user can support his favourite creators by making donations in the form of virtual gifts, including the lion.
Like most social media platforms, TikTok also has a live streaming feature. This feature enables users to start a live stream from their account directly and freely communicate with their audience.
TikTok also has a donation system where people can send their favourite creator’s real money as ‘gifts’, which can be bought with TikTok coins.
Every virtual gift varies in terms of ‘price’ or the number of coins that it is ‘sold’ for. Logically, should a user wish to contribute more of his/her real money to a specific creator, he/she would send a gift that costs many more coins.
The lion is just one of the many interactive gifts that users can send to each other through the application, but what is its value?
How much is the lion worth on TikTok?
On TikTok, the lion gift costs 29,999 coins, approximately $400 US dollars.
Even though many of the gifts you can send to people in TikTok are not very costly, the lion is one of the most expensive. If you find this one in the live stream you are watching or the one you are conducting yourself, you know that someone donated a lot of money.
To ‘gift’ something to someone on TikTok (whether that’s the lion or a much smaller gift like the rose), you must first buy TikTok coins with actual money.
To do this, go to your profile, click on the three lines at the top, click on ‘Settings and privacy’, then tab ‘Balance’, then tap ‘Recharge’ next to the balance.
