High Paid Jobs: Superstar DJ


Everyone has to pay the bills. How you go about that though varies from person to person and there are many different jobs out there that will bring in the money in different amounts. From working for a phone answering service, to being a manger of a web agency or a dentist, each job brings in different amounts of money. Who would have guessed how much money though that being able to mix someone else’s music together could make you?

The world of DJing is a strange one as there are varying examples of it. Some use decks and turntables to spin music together with samples live, where as others just use a laptop and beat matching software to hype up a dancing crowd. Whatever your view on the art though, Forbes has recently compiled a list of the highest earning DJs. If you listen to Radio 1 or watch Jersey Shore then there are a few names on the list that you most likely would have heard of.
  • Tiesto ($22 million)
  • Skrillex ($15 million)
  • Swedish House Mafia ($14 million)
  • David Guetta ($13.5 million)
  • Steve Aoki ($12 million)
  • Deadmau5 ($11.5 million)
  • DJ Pauly D ($11 million)
  • Kaskade ($10 million)
  • Afrojack ($9 million)
  • Avicii ($7 million)
