Calvin Harris DJ

Highest-Paid DJ 2014 – Calvin Harris performing at Hakkasan in the MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas

No. 1: Calvin Harris $66 million – Born Adam Richard Wiles, the former grocery store stocker earned $66 million in the scoring period, playing more than 125 gigs. He’s found great success in the pop world, working with the likes of Rihanna and Kesha, which has helped him land headline gigs not only at EDM-focused events but also at festivals like Coachella. Harris continues to play regularly in Las Vegas where he has a multi-year deal at America’s biggest nightclub, Hakkasan.

No. 2: David Guetta $30 million

No. 3 (TIE): Avicii $28 million

No. 3 (TIE): Tiesto $28 million

No. 5: Steve Aoki $23 million

No. 6: Afrojack $22 million

No. 7: Zedd $21 million

No. 8: Kaskade $17 million

No. 9: Skrillex $16.5 million

Celebrity DJ

Celebrity DJ Deadmau5 also has a Booming Merchandise Business

No. 10: Deadmau5 $16 million  –  The mouse-head costume-wearing DJ barely played one-tenth the amount of shows that some of the higher-ranked names on this list did, but he made them count, playing mostly lucrative festival gigs that can earn him in the neighborhood of half a million dollars for a night’s work. A booming merch business also pads his bottom line.

No. 11: Hardwell $13 million

No. 12 (TIE): Armin van Buuren $12 million

No. 12 (TIE): Steve Angello $12 million

These estimates for the Electronic Cash Kings list include earnings from live shows, merchandise sales, endorsements, recorded music sales and external business ventures. Sources include Songkick, Pollstar, RIAA, managers, promoters, lawyers and some of the artists themselves. Earnings totals were calculated for the 12-month period from June 1, 2013 to June 1, 2014.

On a selective basis, these Celebrity DJs will perform at a corporate, non-profit or private event. Celebrity Direct Inc. will help you select, hire and produce a performance by a Celebrity DJ for your event.
