If GameStop rallies to $65 later today, Keith Gill—better known as Roaring Kitty on Twitter or Youtube and DeepFuckingValue on Reddit—could see his GME position swell to $1 billion.
In a post on the Superstonk subreddit last night, Gill revealed that after the market closed his 5 million shares of GME had gained 119% and his 120,000 call options had surged by 376%.
All told, that means after a $174 million initial investment, his position now has a value of $586 million. And if GME can close the gap to $65, the position will have a total value of $1 billion.
It’s not that big an if, considering the crazy ride that GME went on yesterday. At the time of writing, GME shares are priced at $61.61 in pre-market trading after having already gained 33% in after hours.
GameStop saw its shares open at $31.57 and then take a crazy ride after it Roaring Kitty scheduled a livestream for 12 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday.

But this meteoric rise hasn’t happened without a lot of headwinds. There have been reports that Gill is facing inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Massachusetts securities regulator.
At the start of the week, an unnamed source told The Wall Street Journal that ETrade’s financial crimes unit had started looking at Gill’s trading account.
