But in reality, being a DJ has become quite a lucrative career that competes with the salaries of major pop stars around the world. It’s much more than seamlessly streaming music, it is all about creating an atmosphere where people can completely let loose and just party until the sun comes up. It’s about writing innovative music with spectacular beats and creating a show that everyone wants to be a part of. Here are some of the richest DJs in the world that have changed the industry and continue to be successful to this day. DJ Hardwell is from the Netherlands and is just 26 years old and started his DJ work in 2006. He has since become a major name in electro-house and progressive music. He is definitely making more money than most at his young age and continues to headline at major music festivals around the world. DJ Skrillex took home six Grammy Awards in 2012 and 2013 and is one of the most well-known DJ’s in the mainstream business. He has an unforgettable look with glasses and a side mullet, and has found much success in the music business, bringing home about $28 million. DJ Kaskade is one of the older DJ’s in the business, but he definitely knows his stuff when it comes to the music business. Even though he is in his 40’s, he can party like he is still in his 20’s. Between 2003 and 2013, Kaskade has released ten albums and plays around 130 shows per year. Afrojack is just 27 years old and is worth about $40 million. He has worked with major music icons such as Chris Brown and Pitbull, and headlines music festivals all over, especially Las Vegas. He makes so much money that totaling Ferrari’s is no big deal for him. Deadmau5 is one of the most well-known DJ’s, having been around since 1995 and produced about 7 studio albums. Also known as Joel Thomas Zimmerman, Deadmau5 is still going strong and sporting a mouse helmet at every gig that he plays, making him worth about $45 million. David Ghuetta is proof that with just a bit of hard work, you can enter into the mainstream DJ business with flying colors. He has worked with mainstream artists such as the Black Eyed Peas, and got his huge start with his studio album, “One Love.” Tiesto is one of the oldest DJ’s around, but that doesn’t stop him from being worth $90 million. He is creating music that is setting the standard for the rest of the business and people still follow his career and tactics closely in order to be just as successful as he is. Between all of the men on this list, it just goes to show you that you too can become a big success in the world of DJ with just some creativity and access to a computer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRichest.org Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheRichest_Com Instagram: http://instagram.com/therichest ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Featuring: Hardwell - $17 Million Skrillex - $28 Million Kaskade - $35 Million Afrojack - $40 Million Deadmau5 - $45 Million David Ghetta - $45 Million Armin Van Buuren - $50 Million Avicii - $60 Million Calvin Harris - $70 Million Tiesto - $90 million ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.therichest.com/
