Dear DJ Tiesto, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Let’s start with the good news. The good news is that last year you earned $28 million, thanks to your live shows, merchandise, royalties, endorsements and appearance fees.

Not too shabby! If you were a professional athlete, you’d easily be one of the highest-paid people in every major sport. $28 million breaks down to $2.3 million per month. That’s $76k per day. If you worked a 9-5 job with a one hour lunch break, you would essentially have a job that pays $9,500 per hour. Incredible, right? So what’s the bad news? The bad news is that you are no longer the richest DJ in the world.That crown now belongs to… Calvin Harris .

In 2012 Tiesto’s net worth was at $65 million, While Calvin Harris’ net worth was at $13 million. At $13 million, Calvin ranked as the 24th richest DJ in the world. By the way, Calvin’s real name is Adam Richard Wiles and before he found success in EDM, he was working as a grocery store clerk.

The next four years were VERY good to Mr. Harris.

As electronic music took over pop culture in the last few years, the Scottish DJ has seen his annual earnings soar to previously-unimaginable levels. Between March 2012 and 2013, Calvin earned an estimated $46 million. That was enough to make him the highest paid DJ in the world. Between 2013 and 2014, Calvin earned an impressive $60 million. Once again, that was enough to make him the highest paid DJ in the world.

Calvin Harris
Between March 2014 and March 2015, Calvin earned $66 million. Once again, more than enough to make him the highest paid DJ in the world. Calvin earned that fortune by playing approximately 125 live shows and churning out dozens of hit singles. He has a highly lucrative multi-year deal with the second highest grossing nightclub in the world, Hakkasan in Las Vegas. That gig alone pays a reported $15 million per year.

Tiesto also has a residency at Hakkasan that reportedly also pays him around $15 million. Tiesto earned less than Calvin in the last 12 months due to the simple fact that he played fewer shows and had fewer radio pop hits. Tiesto earned approximately the same amount of money last year as Avicii and slightly less than David Guetta. All three of the aforementioned artists earned less than half of Calvin Harris’ gross.

Currently. the breakdown is as follows:

1) Calvin Harris=$110 million

2) Tiesto=$105million

3)Avicii=$75million
