Background and career
Rani Netz, (born January 15, 2003) known online as Stable Ronaldo, or simply Ron, is an American Twitch streamer and YouTuber based in Los Angeles, California. He is primarily known for his energetic personality and former competitive career in Fortnite. Formerly a member of organizations such as NRG and FaZe Clan, he announced his departure from FaZe on December 25, 2025. After this he joined and founded "Core" with Marlon, Adapt, Jason, Lacy and Silky on April 30th 2026.
Netz was born on January 15, 2003 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, a suburban community known for its residential neighborhoods. He spent much of his childhood with his mother following his parents' divorce. Later at the age of 21, he retired his mother. He attended Cherry Hill High School East and graduated in 2021.
After suffering a concussion from playing ice hockey, Netz was forced to stop playing and began looking for a new activity. He received his first gaming laptop in 2014 at age 11, where he played games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Call of Duty. Around the release of Fortnite, he purchased a gaming PC. In 2019, Netz gained attention in the gaming community when he became a Fortnite Champion Series winner, placing first in the FNCS: Chapter 2 Season 1 Grand Finals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Twitch viewership increased significantly, contributing to Netz' rapid rise in streaming. Clips of his went viral including a video of him singing "Payphone" by Maroon 5 in July 2020. Throughout 2020, his follower count grew from approximately 800,000 to over one million. In August 2020, Netz joined NRG and moved into the organization's content house alongside Clix, UnknownArmy, and Edgeyy, where he produced content for the NRG channel. He departed the group on January 5, 2022, citing internal issues. He was later signed to LA-based talent management firm The Kinetic Group in February 2022. In June 2022, Netz joined FaZe Clan and remained with the organization following its restructuring. On April 27, 2024, Richard "Banks" Bengtson removed several members from FaZe Clan as part of an effort to "reboot" the organization, leaving fourteen content creators on the roster including Netz. In December 2024, FaZe was nominated for Best Marathon Stream and won Best Content Organization at The Streamer Awards. The following year, FaZe won Best Content Organization for the second time in a row. Netz was a host live-streaming both events. On December 25, 2025, Netz announced his departure from FaZe Clan on X, without providing a public explanation. Several other members, including Adapt, Lacy, JasonTheWeen, and Silky, also exited the organization around the same time. Netz participated in Kai Cenat's Streamer University 2026, winning the Community Builder Award. In September 2026, he appeared alongside LeBron James in a star-studded Polymarket commercial celebrating the NFL kickoff. In 2026, after leaving FaZe Clan, he soon started his own group composed of ex-FaZe Clan members, named "Core". In October 2026, he was also nominated for streamer of the year 2026 and Reality streamer of the year 2026
In July 2023, a drunken Ninja called Netz "completely irrelevant" and a "failed streamer" during a live broadcast due to his declining viewership at the time. Netz retaliated by labeling Ninja a "sellout" for his past platform deals and criticizing him for having a "god complex" regarding younger creators. The feud officially ended in December 2024 when Ninja issued an unreserved apology on stream, admitting he "saw red for no reason" and that alcohol was no excuse for his behavior. They later streamed Fortnite together. In June 2024, Netz was slapped by fitness influencer Bradley Martyn after Ronaldo jokingly snatched Martyn's hat during a collaborative "IRL" stream at Martyn's Zoo Culture gym. Martyn reacted instantly, hitting Netz across the face and demanding he leave. The two reconciled in July, with Netz later describing the slap as "part of the narrative" that helped boost his relevancy. In December 2024, Netz faced criticism after being pulled over for speeding while driving his Porsche 911 GT3. He later addressed the incident in a video, explaining his interaction with the officer and cautioning followers about the dangers of reckless driving.
Netz is currently engaged to his long-time partner of two years, known online as Boba (real name Kimmy). Netz was raised in a Jewish household but was not religious during his youth. More recently, he states he now believes in God.
