Calvin Harris is the Richest DJ, but Not the Richest Musician

Calvin Harris’ Personal Take on Acid [Video]

You already know that Calvin Harris is the wealthiest DJ in the world. With residencies at top clubs like Hakkassan in Las Vegas, and sponsorship deals like Emporio Armani, he’s surpassed names like Tiesto and Afrojack for the top spot. His growing empire has finally put him in elite company; Britain’s Sunday’s Times reported that Harris is worth £70 million ($105 million). While the figure is impressive, his debut on the Times’ Rich List of musicians only put him at #30. Many legendary rockers like Pete Townsend from The Who and Dire Straits’ Mark Knopfer match that, and list topper Paul McCartney is worth more than ten times Harris at £730 million ($1.1 billion). Still, it’s an impressive feat to even be on a list such as that, especially since Calvin Harris is only 31 years old. And judging by the growth rate of EDM, there’s definitely plenty of time for Harris to move up the ranks before next year.

1 – Sir Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell £730 million
2 – Lord Lloyd-Webber £650 million
3 – U2 £431 million
4 – Sir Elton John £270 million
5 – Sir Mick Jagger £225 million
6 – Keith Richards £210 million
7 – Michael Flatley £195 million
8= Ringo Starr £180 million
8= Sting £180 million
10 – Roger Waters £160 million
11 – Eric Clapton £155 million
12 – Sir Tom Jones £150 million
12= Sir Tim Rice £150 million
12= Rod Stewart £150 million
15= David Bowie and Iman Abdulmajid £135 million
15= Robbie Williams £135 million
17 – Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne £130 million
18= Phil Collins £110 million
18= Brian May £110 million
18= Charlie Watts £110 million
21= George Michael £105 million
21= Roger Taylor £105 million
