Who are the richest DJs in the world? In terms of getting money, glory and girls, a lot of people probably wish they were a professional athlete like Tom Brady or Derek Jeter. But if it were up to me, I would, without a doubt, choose to be a world famous DJ over every other profession. Think about it. The richest DJs in the world fly around in private jets to exotic nightclubs where they get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for a few hours of work. They’re paid to make people have a good time and for just doing their job, DJs are worshiped like Gods. It also doesn’t hurt that the night clubs are always jam packed with the best looking women in the world including famous actresses and super models. We could (and probably should) do an entire gallery showing famous DJs hanging out with incredibly attractive women, but for now here’s one example of Tiesto with a couple friends:



But who are the richest DJs in the world and how much do they make per show? The richest djs in the world are really off the charts in terms of coolest lives on the planet. If you are a fan of electronic music, you will probably recognize the names on this list but we think you’ll be very surprised and impressed at just how rich and highly paid the top DJs are. These DJs put out their own albums and produce songs for other mainstream artists like Madonna and Britney Spears, but their main bread and butter still comes from private shows. If you’re one of the top ranked DJs in the world, you can earn hundreds of thousands and possibly even millions for a single concert depending on the date and location. A private birthday party at a Suadi Prince’s palace in Dubai or one Vegas New Years Eve show can earn a top DJ more money than most people will earn in a lifetime. So get ready to be amazed, and start practicing your turntables.

What's a turntable?

One of them big cup holders with the motor in case you leave your drink too far away.

[deadly_habit]

isn't it great to know that people hating on skrillex and the ilk on the internet is really hurting their wallets

[murky21]

I sleep soundly at night, safe in the knowledge that Tiesto is getting more p**sy than a toilet seat

[JTMMusicuk]

Would not have thought moby would have been in there

[wub]

Biggups Darude, maximum respect to the boy

[AxeD]

Surprisingly content with this list. At least with the first 10.

[murky21]

I cant work out which one out of Tiesto and the girl on his left is more orange, the whole picture looks like a budget pr campaign stunt for fake tan

[JTMMusicuk]

Much respect for Armin van Buren still big in the game, Not many can say they do 8 hour sets on the regular
Yeah i like trance..and wot

[wormcode]

#0 Justin Bieber
#-1 Paris Hilton

[apmje]

Crazy amounts.

[gwa]

Would not have thought moby would have been in there

Nah i love mobys tracks..just hadnt heard his name for like 4 years

[gwa]

he'll be producing for other people no doubt. he still DJs hard techno sets now and again.. probs charges a fortune. Stadium gigs / festivals etc will be about 40-50K no doubt... that's if SHM are charging 30.

[teamhobson]

He'll no doubt have made a pretty penny through extreme ways being in the soundtrack to a couple of the Bourne films? I have no actual idea of how music royalties work mind you

[wormcode]

Yeah some of these people have no doubt made a lot of that through actual album sales and licensing, not DJing. Especially like Moby, Chemical Bros, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim... Then there's some who only DJ.

Some names missing from that list I would have expected though. I'm sure there's lots more.

[idontreallygiveashit]

I haven't even heard of about 6 of these people, guess they're house DJs... and not that i have any grounds to say, but Tiesto really does make some of the worst music, guy is the luckiest. Just glad Basshunter isn't up there.

Moby made all his money off of car adverts, I seem to remember reading once that every single track off 'play' has been used in an advert

Every single track off Play was licensed to something or other, yes. Adverts, films, Bodyrock turned up randomly in an episode of Buffy
