IMO.......he makes too much because he sucks ass (remember it is my opinion). His style is getting old........but if you guys like him.....great for you......as long as you are happy.

i never said i liked him...i personally think he sux...lol...cant really make up his damn mind on what to DJ...LMAo...

Well considering he's not too big outside of the U.S (one of the biggest here but that's saying absolutley nothing in DJ terms) probably not much at all.

I've heard Bad Boy Bill's mix albums and never been too impressed. But I've seen him twice at big parties (1000s of people each), and let me just say that he was *awesome*. The music he plays and the style he spins just does not translate well to a CD mix which one listens to in car or bedroom.

I swear that guy was throwing down a new tune every 30 seconds, scratchin', doing all sorts of crazy shite. Fun to watch and great to dance to. Very high energy. Whatever he's paid, he certainly earns it because he's busy up there at the decks!

He earned his way to the top too - in the 80s and early 90s was a DMC battle DJ. Won some major competitions too. He's been around for a *long* time.

He's not my favorite DJ, but I do enjoy him when I see him.

I would imagine it was not as much as any of these DJ's

Tiesto = £10000 average per rmx
Ferry Corsten = £15000 average
Masters at Work = £30000 per remix
PAul OAkenfold = £50000 per remix

OAkenfold also gets £7500 per HOUR in his sets.

On NYE 1999 DJ's were getting paid 6 figure sums.
On NYE 2001 popular DJ's eg Tiesto who were playing at multiple locatiosn got about £50000.

Rumour has it that Sonique was paid £500,000 (thats right five hundred thou) to DJ for the Prince of Monte Carlo recently.
