Don't forget promotion deals... The ones that write for movies commercials,and video games...... i.e. Moby, Fatboy Slim, BT, PVD, Dirty Vegas, Oakenfold, Tiesto. Promotional deals give you big bucks...
Also, the ones that remix for really big pop stars (madonna, Brittany Spears, Christina...) like Junior Vasquez, Victor Calderone....
But, also remember that most of these big guys pump a lot of money into their staff, and especially their labels.... So, it works a lot like the pop industry.... the more you make, the more overhead you have as far as lawyers, agents, accountants, label overhead...etc.
I would imagine that most of your jet setting DJs are millionares....probably from saving over the years.... especially the ones that brag about having two or more homes, opening their own club/bar/restaurant.....
I would love to know how much the dance music industry generates a year, in total... MTV should start doing, "It's good to be Paul Oakenfold" just so we know how ridiculously some of these "superstars" really have it.....
