bad boy bill makes $10k a gig?! BAD BOY BILL?!

Hi,

You sure he gets 10k every gig? i doubt it.. these days there is diff prices for diff events .....

150 gigs is alot!! omg..

errr and... who is bad boy bill? haha

yes agent fees e 10-20%, then normally the country theyre djing in, has another agent who did it for them 10%.... oh the dj ends up with 70% or so.
:P

It wouldn't surprise me at all if BBB made $10k+ per gig in the US. He's a quite populer / well known house DJ.

I know he isn't a trance dj, but I read early last year that Fergie was well on his way to his first million. And since then he will have done lots of gigs, and of course he has his radio show with radio one, so he is probably a member of the millionaires club by now.

I said average. Probably a lot more some gigs and a lot less some gigs.

I don't see the shock over Bad Boy Bill making a lot of money. He's the most popular DJ in america...well he was when he was voted #1 in BPM Magazine 2003. Probably still the most popular House DJ in america, ergo everywhere else as well.

well we paid Sasha 100 thousand dollars for NYE gig at acapulco. Considering he has his own record label and plays everywhere. More djs than you think make millions a year.

to be a millionaure you need to be worth a million pounds/dollars whatever currency you are talking about. All the djs that own relatively big record labels are probably in that bracket even though there wealth it tied up. Prob only tiesto and oakie actually have a million plus in the bank

great response to to my thread

yeah i'd say atb is defo member of the millionaire club. 9pm til i come and dont stop both sold bucket loads and lets not forget he has had a string of hits in germany since. and germany being the second or third biggest music industry in the world means alot of sales.

PVD record sales would also would have him up there. i'm surprised people think armin on record sales, wouldnt think he'd make million on record sales alone. but of course he has his record labels. tiesto is known to charge 100,000 a gig now since he has the title of world no 1 so i'm sure he easy has a million.

makes me sick to think judge friggin jules is worth millions
