There are definite pros to the job but people just see the $$ and don't realize that really successful artists have to give up a lot in terms of relationships/family life/stability.... not to mention actually having time to enjoy what their success has brought them.

we're talking about tiesto right? this guy is not a musician, he doesn't even make any music anymore, what is he good for, to play tracks on a cd? in terms of relationships, hes not giving up anything, he s around with various women, it is known. He was supposed to marry a chick few years ago after proposing to her but never went with it so he's alright. With the money he makes stability is good as well. As someone said previously:

Tiesto now is like that g/f you broke up with a long time ago and had no contact with, then you run into her 7-8 years later and see her giving head to a homeless guy in the back alley.

Such a downfall.

It's true that all of that travel and having to put on a show night after night takes its toll, but the guy flies first class or private, stays in 5 star hotels, etc. (all of that is likely included in his contract with promoters, so he's not paying for it)

I'm sure he had to earn his stripes early in his career, lugging around his vinyl crate to gigs around Europe for pay, but he's one of those guys that's been a famous DJ for a lot longer than he was an amateur DJ.

early in his career possibly but many known djs do it to this without any complaints!
he barely breaks any sweat anymore, his sets are 2hours long max while he spins some busta rhymes, this guy for real.

I can't believe you can make this much money playing other people's music.

I forgot that DJs only play their own music.
