If you're talking about pure $$ I'd say mau5 > Arcade Fire.
1 reason, with Arcade Fire you're splitting their fee amongst 7 members + anyone else they use on tour. With mau5 you're talking likely a 90/10 or 85/15 split between him and opener/s. That and the ability for a DJ to do shows logistically is a lot less work so he can pump out shows more frequently.
For popularity you can't really compare the 2 just because he's EDM and to date no one in that genre has come close to touching mainstream chart acts. But this thread is about cash so I'd still stay mau5 wins. |

arcade fire donated 850 000$ to the world aids fun last year...and another million of their own money to haiti last year.

yeah, that's what i thought. you have no retort so you lower the discussion to my weight. i can easily lose weight, your dick can't grow, your face can't improve without major surgery, your intelligence cannot rise, and your personality cannot improve. so google that, dumbass. |

First of all, he hasn't been around for that many years. Music is mostly what he does. He doesn't even seem to do too many endorsements and if he does, I am not well aware of them. His songs aren't even in any ads currently as far as I can tell. Also doesn't sell a clothing line and he doesn't even do interviews or anything like that.
And I think a lot of you just have skewed idea of how rich people are based on what they do. |
Sorry Margs but this is way off the mark.
He has merchandise in Foot Locker. He has endorsement deals with DJ Hero, Rogers, Puma, Wind Mobile.
His song was in CSI: Las Vegas, America's Best Dance Crew and he had a cameo in Gossip Girls.
I'm sure there's tons more that I'm missing. |

ahhh. cool. that is good. it is possible that i don't shop at those places or buy those products. i do remember seeing him on gossip girl which was cool. therefore that brings deadmau5 or his brand a little bit more up in the ranks of earnings. i still don't exactly know he gets all the money from those things. and these facts take away the argument that arcade fire makes more money than him. lol. which is ok with me. |
