See List Of World's 30 Richest DJ's

It's more and more recognised worldwide that being a DJ is a viable career option. With the consistent international rise of electronic music and DJs topping the charts on a weekly basis it was only a matter of time before someone decided to work out how much some of these guys can actually make.

Celebrity Net Worth have recently done exactly that and posted a list of the world’s 30 richest DJs online.

As most would expect the list is headed by Dutch trance superhero Tiesto quickly followed by Ibiza heavyweights such as Oakenfold, Van Dyk, Digweed and Van Buuren.

"Some of 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." - Celebrity Net Worth

Although we're not completely sold on the list, it makes for an interesting read. At least it's nice to see names like Daft Punk and Chemical Brothers in there. See for yourself below:
