The world’s 10 best paid DJs as ranked by Forbes
August 4, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized
Forbes has published a list on the world’s highest paid DJs, and Tiësto was on top, followed by Skrillex & Swedish House Mafia. Though these Electronic Cash Kings hail from all over the globe, they’ve got at least one thing in common: they all make the bulk of their money by touring. Often toting nothing more than a USB stick and a pair of Pioneer CDJs, their production costs are often negligible, unlike rockers and pop stars who typically take home just one-third of gross ticket sales.
