Top 15 Highest Paid DJs in the World have been Revealed

Forbes have shared their list of the World’s Highest-Paid DJs for 2018 with Scottish superstar Calvin Harris coming out on top once again.
At US $48 million ($64,636,500), Harris decimates most of the list — and while he’s had a few hits lately, like the infectious Dua Lipa-featuring ‘One Kiss’, it’s due to a steady stream of six-figures Los Vegas sets, bolstered by the occasional seven-figure headlining festival set.
Calvin Harris tops the list for the sixth consecutive year with earnings of $48 million, continuing to pull in healthy six-figure checks for his sets in Las Vegas — and well into the seven figures for headlining festival performances from Japan to Croatia. The Chainsmokers are right behind him ($45.5 million); the duo behind “Closer” and “Something Just Like This” played more than 100 shows in our scoring period. Says the act’s cofounder, Alex Pall: “I’m curious to see what happens next.”
