Forbes Magazine have released the list of the past year's highest earning and richest DJs in the world - with superstar Calvin Harris topping the list yet again. 

Harris, who this year played the second biggest set in Coachella's history to outstrip Muse and Outkast in popularity, has been named the world's wealthiest DJ for the second year in a row - making his Forbes' top 'Electronic King Of Cash'. We know, awful title. 

His fortune has risen from a meagre $46million to a slightly more impressive $66million over the past 12 months, with Forbes' estimates based on earnings from record sales, live shows, merchandise sales, endorsements and external business ventures. He now earns more than Jay Z, which is surprising and amazing. 

Judging by the demand for his UK live dates, this is hardly surprising. 

Check out the full rich DJ list below:
1. Calvin Harris, $66 million
2. David Guetta, $30 million
3. Avicii, $28 million (tie)
3. Tiësto, $28 million (tie)
5. Steve Aoki, $23 million
6. Afrojack, $22 million
7. Zedd, $21 million
8. Kaskade, $17 million
9. Skrillex, $16.5 million
10. Deadmau5, $16 million
11. Hardwell, $13 million
12. Armin van Buuren, $12 million (tie)
12. Steve Angello, $12 million (tie)
