Tiesto and Daft Punk Top Richest DJs List

05/29/2013
. (Radio.com) For the second year in a row, financial ranking website Celebrity Net Worth has tabulated the world's richest DJs, and for the second year in a row, Dutch trance music legend Tiesto has come out on top.

Citing his nightly DJ fee that reaches a stratospheric $250,000 and a private Gulfstream jet to zip him around the world between gigs, Tiesto's personal fortune is estimated at $75 million.

He's recently added to his portfolio by inking a global endorsement deal with tech company Acer, starring in a series of advertisements for the brand.

While Tiesto's new worth might be more than the individual members of Daft Punk (Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo) at $60 million each, combined the French electronic music-makers are at a full $120 million.

With their new album Random Access Memories already setting the Spotify record for most streams in a week and on pace to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, that combined fortune will surely increase. more on this story
