The highest paid DJ in the world has been revealed

Not bad money if you can get it

Paul Moore

Not bad money if you can get it.

I’d wager that any cheques from Calvin Harris don’t bounce because the DJ definitely has his finances under control after topping the list of the world’s richest DJ’s for the third year running.

The 31-year-old Scottish star is worth a staggering £41.8m according to Forbes’ latest rich list and no before you ask, I don’t feel so close to him in financial terms. None of us do.

Ah well, it’s not like he’s dating Taylor Swift. Surely. Surely I’m not alone in thinking that he must be loving his life?

Here’s the top 10 in full:
