dj's not bj's

Amazing Calvin Harris makes more than Jay-Z and Katy Perry last year. Being a Dj is highly lucrative these days. Amazing

Harris's number has to include album sales.

[Tai Ger Wudz]

Crazy, Calvin Harris paid more than Tiesto and Guetta

[BlackTie]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from this article, it sounds like these numbers also includes music sales and money from collaborations as well? Regardless, for Calvin Harris to make a good chunk more than the rest of these DJs, he must have one hell of a manager haha. It'd be interesting to compare how much they make solely on DJ performances.

Harris is working on like his tenth #1 single in a row. Every song on his album has charted as a single when they get released.

So I'm going through the list, and then I get to this guy 0x600.jpg Seriously?!

Seen all the Top 6 in Vegas... Their placement is well deserved, even Guetta.

It's based on all projects, appearances, etc. they are doing from July 2012 to July 2013 , not just the dj'ing gigs. The article/video also stated Calvin gets between $200-$300k per gig. Tiesto is somewhere around $250k to $300k per gig. Figure 100 gigs a year at 200k for Calvin brings in $20 million alone.

Scary part is they pay more overseas than here since EDM is much more popular over there than here.

Funny about Pauly D, his initial contract with Palms was $40k per appearance. I have to wonder where he is at now regarding his rate since the 15 minutes of fame has died out.

[Stebok]

He had a TV show, he's an official sponsor for some vodka company and DJs quite often... That's all I can think of but Jersey Shore was definitely his biggest payday.

[Chali2Na]

I bet Pauly's a worker. He's probably playing a lot. Just looking at his schedule, he has eight gigs between Aug. 30th and Sept. 8th. That's kind of insane, actually. Then it tails off quite a bit (off-season), but I see he's doing once a month at Haze starting in September, so that is probably a new residency. I just think he's been hitting the road hard, trying to legitimize himself for another Vegas residency. Meanwhile, based on his name, he can command a hefty payday on his way there.
