[FONT=arial black][/FONT][FONT=arial][/FONT]Cool I'm glad [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] and Digweed are up there. And they still charge just $20 per show, not this expensive $40+ you see for DJs like Above & Beyond and Tiesto.

i'm sure celebritynetworth.com is reliable source of financial information and not some kid's massive MFA site.

Except to [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]sasha[/url] and digweed, looks like the "dj mag top 100" more commercial. more money.

Re: The 30 Richest DJs in the World

IF these are in anyway reliable figures...how come [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=604"]Martin Solveig[/url] is worth so much - what did he do that was different?

Surprised to see the Chem Brothers with relatively so little.

Re: The 30 Richest DJs in the World

how can hernan not even be worth a few million, that is very surprising.

#1623291Post 13 of 34

Re: The 30 Richest DJs in the World

i,m not sure about it tbh... net worth isnt exactly how much money they have.. net worth is money tied up in investments etc etc and various other bullshit like that...

#1623294Post 14 of 34

Re: The 30 Richest DJs in the World

some of those, i'm surprised with... still interesting to look at though even if there are zero details behind the statistic.

Hernan, is not so popular to be on that list, and is well so be it. that's why I like it.

#1623302Post 18 of 34

Re: The 30 Richest DJs in the World

Let's count then: avg. fee 20k / 100 gigs yearly / 10 years = 20mil .. honestly can't see how [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] or Digg could have been worth 40 each and someone like AvB/Guetta sometimes charging up to 150k per gig just the same. Not to mention taxes,etc, ..

very unreliable

#1623305Post 19 of 34

Re: The 30 Richest DJs in the World

^yah but who knows what they invest their money in or what appreciating assets they own, which could also be figured into their net worth. Plus don't they have all kinds of various endorsement deals, labels they own, etc.

#1623343Post 23 of 34

Re: The 30 Richest DJs in the World

Oh I didn't realize there was a slideshow too. [QUOTE]After being nominated for 5 Grammys, including Best New Artist, Skrillex has had a very busy year. He reportedly earned $100,000 per show and made $15 million in the last year alone. Skrillex is the 21st richest DJ in the world with a net worth of $8 million ($15 million is before taxes, managers, agents, cost of living) but he will likely be rising very quickly over the next few years![/QUOTE]

Exacto^. [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=381"]Sven Väth[/URL] isn't even on the list but he's been djing professionally for freaking ever, owns Cocoon the label, the booking agency, & the club. All four endevours are quite lucrative I'm sure.

I just heard from a reliable source that [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=264"]Danny Howells[/url] made a shit ton by shorting the FB IPO. He's worth about 50mil now.
