15. DeadMau5 ($11.5 million)
Don’t underestimate the power of the “mouse”. He may be at the bottom of our list but he is bigger than that. DeadMau5 has been nominated for Grammy awards six times. The last one was in 2015 for his album, While (1<2).
The name DeadMau5 (read: dead mouse) came from a story when he was a kid. His father found a dead mouse inside his computer. Since then, he was known as the dead mouse boy.
The Canadian music producer is known for the mouse-shaped helmet he wears during his performance. Sometimes it lights up with awesome LED colors.
The man underneath the helmet is Joel Zimmerman. He is 35 years old today. And he is making approximately $11.5 million per year. However, Joel denied this and said he is $9 million short. Considering how controversial he is, let say he was just being modest.
