millionaire trance djs??

ok just something i was always curious about but how many
millionaire trance djs would there be:

i'm thinking tiesto is 1 for sure, van dyk also, okenfold although dont think he is technically trance anymore. armin probably, maybe ferry corsten & picotto. not sure mike would be.

anyone any input on this, just curious really. be nice to make a million from trance rather than those talentless hip hop producers/djs.

Sasha, Tiesto, John Digweed, Ferry Corsten, Amrin Van Buuren, Judge Jules, ATB (from record sales 90%), Paul Van Dyk, Pete Tong, Daren Emerson, Norman Jay, Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, Tall Paul, Danny Tenaglia, Paul Oakenfold, Erick Morillo, David Morales, Derrick Carter, Frankie Knuckles.

as there were only a few trance DJ's i decided to name a few from other genres.

+1 + John '00' Fleming...

I would say there are probably very few that make more than $1 million a year.

There must be a few that are already wealthy from inheritence and whatnot

Oakie would probably be at the top of the list. He was cited by the Guiness Book of Records as the richest club DJ back in '99-'00(200,000 quid/year). Tiesto would probably be second followed by Armin/PVD.

+1. I hate hiphop artists too.

but back to the point, I always thought Tiesto was the only proper milionaire.

chicane is wealthy from inheritence...he just makes music because he loves it

No-one rocks the millionaire trance dj like Oakenfold. No one.

Posted by _IDS_ on Feb-17-2005 10:09:

Laurent Garnier, Jeff Mills, Nick Warren, Kleinenberg, Chemical Brothers, Armand van Helden, Daft Punk, Sven Vath, Westbam<---(billionaire )

etc...etc...

and all artists known around the world

Don't go to school, make music and be Dj

I think there are more DJ's who make more than a million per year than you'd think. Take the most popular House DJ, Bad Boy Bill. He does 150 gigs a year. At an average of 10,000 per gig that's 1,500,000. I'd say most or all superstar DJ's of any genre hover around that.

Posted by d-miurge on Feb-17-2005 16:49:

David Guetta, Masters At Work, Chemical Brothers,
Eric Prydz...

Remember these guys all pay lots of taxes, so while their gross income may be over a million, their actual income is more likely to be about half of that.

That said, quite a few DJs must have made a million over time.

$4,000.00 in debt? Student loans?

They still have to pay the people that work for them. Sasha has an entire office of people who help him. So that number, minus taxes, minus staff salary will probably be 1/4 of what they get.

ATB- you'd be surprised, he's a VERY big DJ in AMERICA> I think he was voted biggest trance DJ in America, i read on his website.

and he's worth more than a million. just from sales in the UK, ministry of sound paid him 600,000pounds, excluding payment from compilations. the bloke made a killing from 9pm til I come.

in terms of djing, and alone djing... there would be maybe 5 to 10 max djs who make over 1 million a yr..

record deals vary.. not a bad way to make a living
