Well, it's not like some of the people on that list have made that fortune just by playing records, right?

This list seems like complete BS and there's no explanation behind it to validate the rankings. How could Armin be below PVD and Oakenfold when their labels work under his Armada brand? How could David Guetta be #11 considering he has more radioplay and tour dates than almost any other artist on this list?

doesn't really seem reasonable does it
so many things just seem inconsistent
i know gareth has become pretty popular but 2.5x more wealthy than markus?

And Kaskade not worth more? He's the one guy on the list who doesn't blow all his money on drugs and booze !!!!

I agree this list doesn't show much to substantiate these numbers. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Oakenfold that high on the list. Guy has done movies, game scores, and Coke commercials. Plus he still consistently tours

I'm sure there are some more around the $2m+ mark not being mentioned.

For sure, there are way too many overpaid DJ's in the biz. It would be interesting to see what the list looks like beyond just 30 names.

Provided that Oakenfold didn't blow all his money on coke. He has made tons of movie sound tracks. Plus in the late 90 he pioneer epic trance and was the trend starter for dj's tiesto,ferry,avb.

Maybe the first hint of this can be that id says: "DJ Tiesto"

Or that Darude is worth more than Avicii?

Doesn't Armin own Perfecto (Oakenfold), Vandit (PvD), and Coldharbour (Schulz).
I'd think he is worth more.

I would have guessed that Afrojack was towards the top based on his collabs and performance price.
