Superstar millionair DJ Calvin Harris' aptly-named smash hit 'Summer' has named the most streamed song of the past six months by Spotify. 

The seasonal dance anthem has racked up an impressive 160 million listens on the streaming service since its release back in June - beating the likes of Iggy Azalea and Ariana Grande to claim the top spot. 

While many argue that Spotify is not the most friendly business model in terms of income for the artists involved, we're sure that Mr Harris won't be complaining - especially after he was named the richest DJ on Earth by Forbes magazine recently.

His fortune has risen from $46 million to $66 million 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
