He did have the Night of his Life though. He didn't produce the song, and doesn't claim he did. It's just a video. He hasn't taken it to the next level and probably never will, but there's always ghost producers.

For those who haven't seen it yet, the full Forbes list including mugshots:
I don't see why people complain about people who make a lot money and are not very talented.
With any business or entrepeneurship venture (incl. music), proper marketing and image and brand value is worth more than the quality of their product. The people at the top are just people who have decent skill but are great at marketting and selling themselves.
A lot of people simply don't get there because they just don't know how to sell their "product", even if it is a good product.
Pauly D is a product of a larger mass-market television show that happens to cater to one of the lower common denominators of musical and cultural styles that involve orange spray on tans and liters of hair gel. They market to them, and people are buying in to it. It's that simple. People don't go see him because of his music, but more because of the association of Jersey Shore gino club culture.

I hate the fact that they are starting to take beautiful electronic music, make it , and sing about money and cars and clothes. Leave that for the ghetto hip hop crew.
Hasn't Mau5 been known to be on this board a bit? I wonder if he could dawn us with how he truly feels about this matter and Pauly D's bull DJ career.

Here's why; because it gives EDM a bad name, when people like this (Joel gets a pass) label themselves as "EDM", rather than "pop dance".
I don't like people, who have no ing clue about their field, making money by putting themselves at the forefront of it (at least to the massses). Don't get me wrong, I don't want chin scratching minimalist techno DJ's in every club, but some absolutely talentless guido posing in front of some decks, self fulfilling every false cliche that has ever been associated with EDM.
Worse than that, it's sad measure of our current society, when powerful marketing firms can force a product that is so bad, to be popular. It makes everything so ing disposable - a year or two later, everyone is like "what was I thinking" or "yuck, I'd never go to see them". Just look at Paris Hilton; she literally can't get a gig now. The same is now happening to the K sisters.
I used to work in PR and had run-ins with 19 management (cowell/fuller/etc). You have no idea the they pull to make sure their "talent" (ahem) gets rammed down the public's throat. See a good mins of just Beckham's ugly mug on a speedboat during the olympics? The deals that were done (or should I say aggressive leveraging) to secure that were immense.
Same with Pauly D, et al.
