If you’re new to Bigo Live or planning to become a host, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: “How do I get paid?” The answer lies in understanding diamonds, beans, and how they convert to cash.
At AfroCast Agency, we want our hosts to know exactly how their salary works so there’s no confusion.
1. The Diamond and Bean Economy
Bigo Live has its own virtual currencies:
- Diamonds → These are bought by fans with real money. When fans gift you items in your livestream, they spend diamonds.
- Beans → This is what you, the host, receive when gifts are sent to you. Think of beans as your “host currency.”
Here’s the important part: 1 Diamond = 2 Beans (for registered agency hosts).
Example:
If a fan spends 1,000 diamonds on you, you get 2,000 beans.
2. Beans to Dollars
Beans are what determine your monthly salary. Once you earn beans, they get recorded in your Live Data dashboard.
The conversion rate is:
210 beans = $1 USD (approx.)
So if you earn 210,000 beans in a month, that equals about $1,000.
3. Monthly Salary System
Bigo doesn’t just pay you directly for beans. Instead, it uses a target and tier system:
- Each month, you’re expected to hit a minimum bean target (set by Bigo and your agency).
- The more beans you earn, the higher your tier and the bigger your payout.
Example:
- 30,000 beans → $142
- 60,000 beans → $285
- 210,000 beans → $1,000
- 420,000 beans → $2,000+
(Exact payouts may vary, but this shows how beans translate to money.)
4. Bonuses and Rewards
Apart from your base salary from beans, Bigo also offers:
- Performance bonuses (extra cash for hitting big milestones).
- Agency bonuses (depending on the agreement with AfroCast).
- Event rewards (special in-app competitions and promotions).
5. How AfroCast Supports You

- Training on how to grow your audience.
- Tips on how to attract more gifts (diamonds).
- Performance monitoring so you stay on track.
