i heard it costs about NZ$10000 to hire Carl Cox which is US$4500 roughly. wat about other djs?

Let's play currency

PvD earned 150 000 Euro for Gatecrasher NYE Y2K for 2 hours set.

Need to rememeber that each ticket was paid ot 150 Euro.

1 Euro is 0.9 $.

Here is my bid. Who's next ???

How many people?

25 000 person @ GC Y2K.

this info is coming from the december 1999 or january 2000 edition of MUZIK. I try to find out at home. but it messy in my mags and i can't find out on the net.

I was an artcile about the person that counts in dance in the world.

The first person was :

According to The Rich List 2001, a report compiled by UK newspaper, 'The Sunday Times', Ministry Of Sound owner, James Palumbo, is one very wealthy man. With a fortune of £150 million, Palumbo is one of the richest people in the British music industry ...
... Born in 1963, James Rudolph Palumbo, ex-Eton schoolboy and son of the retired arts councillor and multi-millionaire property developer, Lord Palumbo, started his career as a city dealer before becoming the superclub tycoon who revolutionised the clubbing industry with the world's biggest club merchandising company. The Ministry Of Sound has as estimated annual turnover of around £10 million. With a personal fortune of around £150 million, Palumbo is worth the same amount as Sir Elton John and Mick Jagger.

Then they gave the personal wage of Jules and Oakie a year & it was some kind of 1 500 000 Euro. And they mention not the wage of PvD but his earning for the GC Y2K.

When i red this article, i thought "Fuckin' hell, these guys are blessed. It's just so much..."

Still trying to find more info on the net. gonna try to find this issue at home i will scan the article if i can find it...

Bye.

Another article to gave the pace

18.01.99 - Tong Named as The Most Powerful Man In Dance Music

According to staff at Muzik magazine, Pete Tong is the most powerful man in dance music. He came top of the list of 50 people in dance music who have the most influence.

Muzik editor Ben Turner says: "This list is not about money, it is about who wields the most power - whether it is being the voice for a generation or being able to get records on the Radio One playlist."

This is because of his roles as a radio presenter at Radio One and as A&R director at record company ffrr. His annual earnings are estimated at £450,000 with an overall wealth of £2m.

He says: It's quite embarrassing, especially with Puffy at number two. I've been dodging his calls all week.

Another one :

Well if there weren’t already enough reasons to stay at home in front of the telly for the millennium then news of ticket prices should make your mind up. A report in this month’s issue of Muzik magazine suggest that tickets for some events are going to cost £250 each. Many DJ agencies are not confirming prices for DJs until all the offers have come in which will in turn lead to a bidding war for the top jocks. It has been reported that Todd Terry will be getting £60,000 a gig and Sasha somewhere in the region of £35,000. Muzik has also learnt that two well-known DJ’s are reportedly being paid £250,000 for three gigs in the one night.

Another one :

Fatboy Slim has been declared the fastest earning man in the music industry. His personal fortune now tops £10 million, most of it acquired since the release of the last album.

So,yes, PvD has earned a lot of cash during this NYE and from all i red it was the biggest wage of trance history for one GIG.

Down under is great, oh so is Australia

dumonde cost something like £4000-£5000 i cant remember

DJs get paid much more for NYE slots coz its a special night of the year, notice how they also try and cram in as many events as possible (most usually in the UK!)

usually oakey gets aroung 50k a set i think. waste of money.

im suprised scot bond isnt up there alongside simon raine because he is co-owner of crasher and is probably more well known to the general populace!

oh yeh thanks for this:

1 JAMES PALUMBO (3) Owner, Ministry Of Sound

now i know who to aim the crosshairs on my rifle at!

this was last years list i think... so scott bond wont have had half of gatecrasher all that long.. i bet he's rollin in it now though.

it makes me laff wen oakie gets 50 grand a set, but james holden gets between £500 and £700 per 2 hour set. even then £250 per hour aint bad pay is it lol

ive just been looking at that list and Carl Cox , is quite far down the list. Im sure he has more cash , or maybe he has been filing that big belly of his. ???

At end of the day , what is money ??? would you rather be clased as worlds No.1 or have 1 million ?

I'd rather be ranked no.1

it's all about respect. and you can tell who's in it for the music (pvd) and who's in it for the money (cough..oakenfold is a sellout!..cough)....
