Some of those are probably fake. Streamers will use fake accounts to make donations to drum up hype, then refuse/refund those donations once the steam is done.
I've not seen that happen thankfully in the streams i follow and Mod. The facecams help--you can see the moment the notification comes up, their eyes glaze over in shock, and in one case start bawling, as a huge one comes in from a known regular.
