I guess Guetta isn't classed as a DJ but instead an artist ?

But then Daft Punk are .... list looks a load of bollocks e.g. Hawtin must have amassed more than Avicii.

Re: The World’s Richest DJs 2012

surprised Tenaglia is only worth 3 million, hes been around for a long ass time....but then again Digweed owns a record label and other business ventures. As for the idiots on here, deadmau5 etc., how the fuck can they get so famous and make so much when theyve only been around maybe 10 years max.? I have been into this scene for over 15 years and i never even heard of Steve Aoki until some chick at a club was talking about him, come to find out now he is worth serious bank..Commercial trash. I can understand some of the trance djs, trance is a big deal alot of places, but also those trance djs charge a fuckload to play. Glad Digweed and even Oakenfold are at the top of the heap, they actually deserve it. I

I mean i aint hating on people making money, but when youve been djing for less then 5-10 years and youre more well known and worth as much as someone who pioneered the scene, it makes me sick.

Rich in money maybe but with as much as they travel their home life probably isn't very rich.

Re: The World’s Richest DJs 2012

I am not surprised Tiesto is on the top of that list. In 2007 when I played with him for the closing of his gig, this guy managed to gather 23.000 ppl while Lebanon was being struck by terror bombs here and there. And how much he got paid??

[B]160.000 Euros for 2 hours of work!!![/B] (Daaamn) :)

Re: The World’s Richest DJs 2012

a couple models i know that live in south beach found their way into partying with Tiesto.. they didn't even like electronic music... I've met him as well, in Orange County, he did seem like a genuinely nice guy :lol:.

Re: The World’s Richest DJs 2012

At that gig in 2007, he brought his whole crew with him, friends girlfriends etc..., and before the gig the asked for a couple of bottle of whiskey black label to be brought to his table, and the organizers were kinda reluctant to do it; So he simply told one of the organizer, and I heard it with my own ears, he was like " you bring me my bottles now otherwise I won't go on stage" :D lol I was a little bit shocked of his reaction, doing a blackmail for a couple of bottles...that reaction of his disappointed me.
