Glad to see Diggers being way up there. Such a chill and humble guy

Seems fairly accurate I suppose. I wonder how they determined these figures tho.

I have my doubts on the accuracy of this. I would think Schulz would have a higher value based on running a pretty successful label and then selling to Armada plus annual mix albums and artist albums for the last 10 years.

And then you would think someone like Sven Vath would be up there too, you know, running Coocoon some of the most successful parties and label in the industry. Unless they blew it all on hookers and cocaine?

And Gareth Emery that high up? Does he run a second business?

Well EMD blew big in the last 4 yrs. So of course all these Producers who have only recently emerged are on this list. Thats why everyone is trying to play this housy sounds now. They want dat fast $$. its all about marketing now. look at SHM at 16 mil. wow

The real $$ is in pop and hip hop. If I made a living as an EDM artist I would totally produce rap and pop songs in secret for a fat paycheck.

I wouldn't consider the guys with 2, 3, 4 million "rich". Most lawyers in major cities can make that in a few years or less. The lifestyle though, that's something that makes it seem pretty cool. Big dinner on per diem, nice hotels, travel, groupies, a manager wiping your ass for you if you need, adoring fans. I'd settle for 2 million plus the perks.

I was also surprised to see Markus so low on the list

and once I again I strongly agree with this.

the fact that erick morillo isn't on this list makes me not believe it at all.
a.l.d.i.
but isn't EDM pop now?

it's 100% not accurate data, neither are some of those write-ups, it's a great marketing / hype piece for EDM and those artists though.

Poor Markus, still only 2mil on both lists.

Sasha @ 95 mi, doubt that, highly. I'd believe Tiesto or Guetta only bcs of the arena sized concerts and multiple main stream releases. Tiesto has time on his side there, Guetta is a recent enigma.
