Celebritynetworth.com have published their list of the richest DJ’s in the world again for 2013. Last year their list created a bit of a storm online and was even reported by the national press. All the figures are estimates that take into account all music sales, merchandise, touring revenue, licensing, endorsements, real estate, royalties and more. The information was obtained from all publicly available sources, promoters, managers, club owners and, in some cases, the artists themselves. Taxes and various other fees to cover management, agents and legal expenses have been taken out.
Unsurprisingly Tiesto is still sitting on top of the list and Daft Punk have shot up to number 2 following the news of their new album release. Check out the full list below and leave a comment or tweet with your thoughts!
