Who Has the Highest Value Steam Inventory? GOODKID‘s $800K+ CS:GO Cache
According to sites like CS.Money and Steam Database that track public inventories, GOODKID currently holds the most expensive CS:GO skin collection valued at over $800,000. Let‘s delve into the world of high-stakes skin trading and explore some of the most absurdly priced Steam inventories out there.
A Multi-Million Dollar Virtual Economy
To understand how Steam inventories can accrue so much value, you need to understand the scale of the virtual CS:GO skin trading economy. According to reports, over $50 million worth of CS:GO weapon skins traded hands daily on just one popular marketplace in early 2022.
Top skins like the AWP Dragon Lore and M4A4 Howl can sell for anywhere from $1,000 to $150,000. And certain collectors have amassed caches with dozens or even hundreds of these precious skins.
Who Is GOODKID?
GOODKID is the alias of a Chinese CS:GO enthusiast believed to be among the first "Skin Kings" to start accumulating massively valuable inventories years ago. Their current public inventory is estimated between $800,000 to $1 million.
Public Inventories In the Millions
While GOODKID reigns supreme, other collectors aren‘t far behind when it comes to public inventory value:
| Collector | Estimated Inventory Value |
|---|---|
| GOODKID | $800,000+ |
| cAre | $700,000+ |
| OGBOT | $600,000+ |
| нєυяka | $500,000+ |
However, some suspect even more valuable collections likely exist out of public view.
Tracking and Valuing Inventories
So how do sites determine the worth of CS:GO inventories? They utilize real-time market data to price individual skins, then total up the values. Here are some top services used:
- CS.Money – Connect any public Steam profile to see CS:GO inventory value
- SteamTools – Calculates total value of Steam inventory
- Steam Database – Lookup any public profile inventory
- Dmarket – Tracks top valued CS:GO inventories
Of course, private inventories fly under the radar unless collectors provide details.

In addition to current collectors, a few former traders reached legendary status thanks to million dollar inventories:
-

-
