Best Paid DJs

1. Calvin Harris

Annual Earnings: $66 million

Who would have thought that the man who worked as a grocery store stocker would one day become the best paid DJ in the world? Well, I guess Adam Richard Wiles, better known under his stage name Calvin Harris, played his cards right, because today he makes music with some of the industry’s pop giants, like Rihanna and Kesha. And apart from headlining festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza, he also enjoys a multi-year contract with the Las Vegas mega nightclub, Hakkasan. Considering he played 125 gigs in 2014 alone, it only makes sense he would crown our list of the best paid DJs.
