Who do you reckon deserve there spot? And who doesn't?

[Cupe]

interesting mix of serious veterans and newbies

[OxyKon]

Tiesto in my opinion shouldn't be #1, surpirsed they put Daft Punk down in number #9 as $30 million each, just put it as $60million and they're are then at #2

But Daft Punk should be #1 in my eyes

Edit. Paul Oakenfold is a name I haven't heard in a very long time, didn't think he was still around

[street]

Yeah, it's weird seeing artists like Skrillex who are so new to the scene compared to guys like Carl Cox who have been around for 30+ years.

[Gandy]

tiesto is easy number 1, he was MASSIVE in his day, he held number 1 ranked dj for like 7 years straight back in the day, i think he actually holds the record for being ranked number 1 for so many consecutive years in the dj rankings.

[Mitch]

interesting

[andyman]

Half the list are trance DJ's. Interesting...

[GREMM1S]

Daft punk aren't touring and havnt released much lately why would they be at the top?

Remember most of the money these artists make is from touring not records, tiesto is continuously touring hence why he makes so much.

[street]

Also, Tiesto has earnt as much as $500,000 for 1 show

[MelodyIlliterate]

hmm, thought calvin harris would be further up with the ammount of decent maintream stuff he was pumping out in thepast few years...

wonder what laidback luke is doing... great producer... not to hot behind the decks... but hit after hit a while back

[GREMM1S]

All true guys but it's the touring where the real money is, they dont make that much off record sales anymore.

really? ive seen some videos of him doing some crazy 4 deck shit

[MelodyIlliterate]

the one i really remember is

wasnt too phased...

especially compared to kissy

had to watch this a dozen times to keep up with his shit... leant soo much from just watching

[GREMM1S]

Nah lbl is pretty awesome tbh great entertainer and does some cool shit, id bank on him doing stereosonic this year

[AlexJ]

will be keen for it

Yeah he's still making trance. Some quality tracks as well.

its not only that touring earns more money, this is a net worth list not how much they earn list.

so people like pete tong and oakenfeld did a whole bunch of other stuff to get monies

plus you get people like norman cook who drank half his shit away

why do you think there are no hip hop djs on this list. it all went to strippers, weed and sneakers

[Tomy]

another interesting factor which I think probably dictates a lot of this list is that guys around PRE digital. there was a lot more money floating around when it was all vinyl because people actually bought their music and weren't a bunch of cheap whales that cant mix.

[Cupe]

^ no sync, forced to learn achual skillz

[mattus123]

it makes me happy to see trance DJs taking out the top of the charts

as it is a DJ list, it shocks me to see skrillex even make it in the list, seeing as though i find him a terrible DJ (irrespective of his production abilities)

But yea interesting combination between the people who have been doing it for years, and those who have just started

Because djing isn't as liked/relevant to hip hop as it is dance.

If you compared hip hop artists on the other hand they would earn a shitload.

[russell]

this list is a load of bullshit.

Daft Punk aren't DJ's for a start.

Where is Ricardo Villalobos (worlds No 1 Dj 2 years on the trot), Ritchie Hawtin, Sven Vath (owns Cocoon in Frankurt and runs Cocoon @ Amneisa, Ibiza.

Danny tenaglia.. charges about 30k a set???

I don't doubt all the whales mentioned are loaded. just think this list is highly inaccurate.

[street]

Id say 30 richest producers is a more fitting term.
