Ahahaha. I wonder how many fans went out and bought a cd or a t-shirt to help him with his 'financial situation'.

Poor guy... Where can I make a donation?? Does he take Paypal??? Or will they take 85% of it too?

In terms of a record deal he is right. But he doesnt put on shows out of the 15%. The promoters pay for that inclusive of his show fee.

Out of a show fee a lot of stuff gets shaved off as well. Booking agents, record labels if he is in a 360 deal. If its an all in deal then the flights and some rigging come out of that as well.

So by no means is he getting all that money or even the majority of it, But hes far from poor.

When all is said and done, whether he's making x or y, at the end of the day being deadmau5 is a pretty sweet gig. Not to say his life is perfect or his job is easy, but there are less interesting/fun/glamourous things out there to be doing. My pity factor for him is very low even if those numbers are true.

i dare say he's not even a dj anymore, he's a brand. a prepackaged one at that. full out now.

That is complete bull.Its so oozing of its funny.

1) an artists or dj of that class never pays for flights
or hotels or for food. thats the promoters costs.

2) His record label has nothing to do with his performance fee's.
The only one getting money from that is Him and his booking agent.
So if he is getting 30K per shot. its actually $34 500 as the booking
agent add %15...its not subtacted from his fee.

3) The record labels get a cut of his Music sales. Yes thats what they
do. Plus he is not counting all the remix work plus merchandise etc..

4) artists make their money off touring and playing abroad. He plays
alot so he is getting some serious coin.

5) He needs to wipe his mouth cause he is talking too much ,

the end.


Indeed sir, lies upons lies.
