Tiesto Tops World’s Richest DJs List
EDM is a musical movement that has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years, so the DJs that keep the genre going and the bodies on the dancefloor are pocketing copious sums of money for their expertise and their efforts. Dutch DJ Tiesto has topped a list of the richest DJs in the world -- he's worth an estimated $75 million.
All that -- just for knowing how to twiddle knobs and manipulate beats? Sounds like a good way to earn a living. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Tiesto earns a whopping $250,000 per night, and he raked in $20 million in income in 2012.
Daft Punk were ranked near the top of the list as well, since their new "comeback" album, 'Random Access Memories,' has set the music industry abuzz. Skrillex also made the list with $16 million in net receipts.
