Biography
Steven Kenneth Bonnell II (born December 12, 1988), known online as Destiny, is an American live streamer and political commentator. He was among the first people to stream video games online full-time. Since 2016, he has streamed political debates with other online personalities, in which he advocates for liberal and social democratic policies.
Steven Kenneth Bonnell II was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He was raised in a conservative Catholic home, and he attended Creighton Preparatory School, a private Jesuit high school for boys. When he was a pre-teen, his mother’s home daycare business collapsed, and his family’s home was foreclosed. A few years later his parents moved to take care of an aging relative, after which he lived with his grandmother until he was 18.
In 2007, Bonnell enrolled at the University of Nebraska Omaha, where he studied music while working as a restaurant manager at a casino, mostly at night. Struggling to juggle both his education and full-time work, Bonnell dropped out of college in 2010. Within a year, he was fired from his job, which he attributes to his difficulty navigating workplace politics and understanding others’ emotional experiences.
Bonnell later found work as a carpet cleaner, working 12-hour days for commission. According to Bonnell, his average pay was $3–4 an hour (equivalent to $4.3–5.8 an hour in 2024).
