Forbes has released its list of the world’s highest-paid EDM DJs of 2018. Not surprisingly, Calvin Harris reigns supreme for the sixth consecutive year with earnings of $48 million.
Coming in at a close second are The Chainsmokers with $45.5 million. New to the list are Kygo and DJ Snake, who enter at No. 12 and 13 respectively. Skrillex, who ranked No. 4 in 2017 with $30 million, did not make the list this year.
Overall, the top 10 hauled in a combined $260 million, falling considerably short of last year’s $298 million. According to Forbes, it is “partly due to the maturation — and, some would say, plateauing — of the live electronic music market.”
Forbes’ rankings are calculated by using each DJ’s “pretax earnings from June 1, 2017 through June 1, 2018, before deducting fees for lawyers, agents and managers. Estimates are based on numbers from Nielsen, Pollstar, Bandsintown and Songkick, as well as interviews with industry experts and many of the stars themselves.”
See the full list below.

2. The Chainsmokers – $45.5 million
