When we think of the most lucrative professions, we hardly ever consider being a DJ as one of them. These DJs and their extravagant lifestyles will not only make you feel ignorant, but also poor.

4. Avicii

You may not be interested in EDM, but if you are slightly musically inclined, you would have unknowingly hummed along to at least a few tracks by Avicii. He has made 19 million dollars this year. Avicii is known for his generous spirit, and recently made a donation of 1 million dollars to Feeding America. If you have that much dispensable income, and can afford to live in a 15 million dollar house in LA, well… I SHOULD JUST GO KILL MYSELF!

8. Kaskade

This 200,000 dollars a night DJ may have made a whole lot of money (18 million dollars so far this year), but he lives a humble lifestyle. He doesn’t drink or smoke, is a family man, stays at his parents’ house when he visits them, and schedules interviews at 9 am. Now, that’s what we call balance!
