13. Hardwell ($13 million)
Given the title Number 1 DJ in the world for two years in a row doesn’t seem to guarantee your top spot as the highest paid. That is the case for Hardwell. According to DJ Mag, he was the best in 2013 and 2014.
Nevertheless, his annual earning is approximately $13 million. He has been in music industry since 2005. That is a pretty long run for a DJ. However, only until last year, he finally released a studio album titled United We Are.
Hardwell, now 28 years of age, was born with the name Robbert van de Corput. Perhaps you can tell from his name that he is Dutch.
Check out one of his music featuring Jason Derulo, Follow Me. This was released in 2015 within his first studio album. Enjoy!
