10 Highest Paid DJs of 2012: Forbes List


Yet another list of the highest paid DJs. This time from a much more reliable source: Forbes.  They configured this list over the past 12 months from live shows, music sales, merchandise, and endorsements. These DJs can make up to $100,000 a gig or more especially in the case of Tiesto who can rake in $250,000 a gig. And speaking of Tiesto, he is the highest paid DJ of the past year. However, I am quite surprised that Pauly D is on this list, especially since I can't think of any song that he's made. It's great to be a celebrity I guess.


The Top Ten Highest Paid DJs
10) Avicii - $7 million
9) Afrojack - $9 million
8) Kaskade - $10 million
7) DJ Pauly D - $11 million
6) Deadmau5 - $11.5 million
5) Steve Aoki - $12 million
4) David Guetta - $13.5 million
3) Swedish House Mafia - $14 million
2) Skrillex - $15 million
1) Tiesto - $22 million
