On the surface, it would appear that Calvin Harris has had a rough year. He got into a car accident, parted ways with superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift and saw a $3 million dip in annual income. But it would take much more to knock Harris from his throne: he still pulled in $63 million, making him the highest-paid DJ in the world.

One time on a Bravo show they were redoing this DJ's house and he was leaving to do a NYE show where he was getting paid 1mil for the night and he was basically unknown
Why do DJs make so much money? Martin Garrix has barely had a hit song but has made $16 million in one year.
