Forbes shared their annual Electronic Cash Kings list which reveals world’s highest-paid DJs every year. Unsurprisingly, the selection was topped by Calvin Harris, who was recently named one half of the highest-paid celebrity couples, with the other half being Taylor Swift. He racked in just as much as he did last year – $66 million.
The runner-up is David Guetta with $37 million. Spot #3 is occupied by Tiesto, who has $1 million less than his French colleague. Skrillex and Steve Aoki tie the fourth position with $24 million each, while Avicii comes sixth with $18 million.
According to Forbes, the calculations are based on income from live shows, endorsement deals, merch sales, recording sales and external ventures.
