12. Avicii ($14.5 million)
If you have been to at least one of Avicii’s concerts and loved it, you better get yourself in line for the next one. Because unfortunately, Avicii is going to retire from performing. This summer will be your last chance!
Don’t worry, he will keep making music in the studio though. Perhaps he thinks $14.5 million per year is too much and he has to cut it off.
The Swedish DJ was born with the name Tim Bergling. On his 26th year of age, he has achieved so many things. His golden, platinum, diamond hit, Wake Me Up, was on top of almost every music chart.
That hit won him one Billboard Music Award for Top Dance/Electronic Song in 2014. He also has two Grammy nominations for Best Dance Recording.
Without further ado, let’s check out his legendary hit!
