Forbes unleashes highest-paid DJs list

FINANCIAL magazine Forbes has crowned Calvin Harris the world's top-earning DJ, according to its newly-unveiled list of the world's highest paid DJs.

The rankings, based solely on the individual's DJ income, placed Harris's "salary" this year in the vicinity of £48.3 million, with fellow DJ Tiesto the closest runner-up on £29.2 million.

Tiesto replaces David Guetta, who has been displaced to No.3 after earning £21.5m for his DJing in 2015, just over Zedd in fourth place with £18.8 million.

Steve Aoki rounded out the top five on £18.1 million, with others who made the list including Diplo (£17.7m), Skrillex (£15.4m), Kaskade (£14.6m), Martin Garrix (£12.3m), Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike (£11.9m), Afrojack (£11.5m), and Avicii (£11.1m).
