They all make too much for the job they do
I've seen Tiesto in his glory days and I've seen him out of his glory days, the difference is like night and day. It depends tho, on the schedule, they have a range and it depends on the hotel, dinner and the rest of that crap and how long they play for and the time of year.
Tiesto made 40K for the koolhaus night in 2001 (which was the rumor)
PvD and Tiesto make a ton of money and so does Armin and I rather get in deejays that play much cheaper, much more variety and much longer.
you think they make a fortune, try booking fatboyslim (50-100K), Tenaglia (50K min, I heard, but he plays like min 12 hr sets) and Paul Oakenfold (rediculous figures at times)
PVD costs like 60 000 dls, and for new years eve (the most important night of the year) here in vallarta he demanded 120 000 dls.
Wow is that Euro or Us $

yup
but certain promoters are realizing that they can pack the club with B list deejays (much cheaper = more profit). There is only one Armin, Diggers, Tiesto, even tho most of you bedroom deejays don't think so. They can pretty much play where they want, when they want and charge what they want. Must be nice 
It depends on the day of the week mostly and who's promoting. Most Dj's will milk you more if they know you can afford it. In my City armin played for $12000 U.S. Tiesto for a little over $20000 and we've had digweed for less than $4000. It depends on the circumstances.
I think it all depends on the event n size of venue. I mean..they will obviously charge more to play at a huge 90, 000 ppl dance event than at a 500 capacity club. Also the location, eg, in Ibiza, I tink a dj will charge more for a gig. I'd say the timing of the gig is also important where they will obviously charge more to play for a holiday event like newyears.

I'd never charge that much, even if I was a world-known DJ...

i smell noncence.
they make alot for big events (creamfeilds, global gathering and such) but normal nights are nowhere near that.
i know for a fact john '00' flemming is �1500 for a 800 capacity club on a sat night (for me anyway).
all i know is that here in nyc, pvd, tijs and armin makes over 30,000. for sure i know oakey made 80,000 on thanksgiving eve at exit/nyc. pvd makes at least 40,000- 50,000 a gig and tijs the same if not more. armin is the lowest of course. it is all about the following. of course the likes of a tiesto or a pvd brings more crowd than armin. andy is right, dt demands at least 50 grand or more but he does spin crazy hrs.. 12 hrs or more for that money.. HEHE IT IS WELL WORTH IT :P

i wish i could make that much money in 1 night... hmm
I don't think the djs themselves want to charge so much, it's just that the machinery that runs their operation costs sooo much (agents, record companies etc).
Btw. Goin' to see AvB this friday, hopefully he'll be worth even some of his huge salary

yeah footballers make much much more money..those top leagued ones anyway.
It depends on where they spin. Less in the states most of the time.
i really dont think the figures quoted in this thread make any economic value
if oakey was charging 50000 USD a set for the USA (something most people think happens "easily"), you would need to charge 50 USD per head for a 1000 capacity club just to break even, and youre not counting production or promotion costs which will, of course, put you in the red
and whoever said oakey was making 80k USD for a set is obviously a clown
They'd have it all sorted out to make sure they break even - and think - 1000 people in a club maybe spending an average of �20 - �30 on drinks - theres another �20,000.
Don't worry about the clubs - they make their money alright.
It is great to see the big name Djs earn so much for spinning.
Many people will only attend clubs and pay decent prices for big name Djs, and how many people got their first taste of edm and got hooked after a night seeing some huge name.
The best thing is that real lovers of edm know that most of the best music and best nights are ones where some unknown, obscure, underground or up-and-coming Dj spins, and its always cheaper and attracts a much more down to earth and fun loving crowd.
