Surprise! The superstar, Calvin Harris, has topped the list for the fourth straight year. Ok, that wasn’t much of a surprise, but the guy is a monster at pulling in the big dollars and deserves every bit of it. To be honest, if you have followed this list for the last few years, you won’t be surprised much at all. The biggest shocker is that Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike finally joined the list as being considered the number one DJ’s in the world definitely helped. Besides that, Avicii isn’t in the top 10 due to retiring. Everyone else played musical chairs on where they landed. Makes you want to be a superstar DJ, right?

  1. Calvin Harris – $63 million
  2. Tiesto – $38 million
  3. David Guetta – $28 million
  4. Zedd – $24.5 million
  5. Steve Aoki – $23.5 million
  6. Diplo – $23 million
  7. Skrillex – $20 million
  8. Kaskade – $19 million
  9. Martin Garrix – $16 million
  10. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike – $15.5 million
  11. Afrojack – $15 million
  12. Avicii – $14.5 million
