Some of these figures may be misleading. Don't get me wrong, the top DJs make crazy good money, but their are a lot of costs involved that you have to subtract from that total gross. Such as management, transportation costs (his private jet, living expenses for him and his crew, stage setup), developing his show, advertising/promotion. I wouldn't be surprised if after all costs he made about $10,000,000 from his gigs.
I'm sure his Vegas residency paid him a good piece of that, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Armin only made half of that.
Case in point, Deadmau5 has been huge lately (especially in North America), but he said himself that he wasn't rich.
