4. Zedd ($24.5 million)
In 2014, Zedd won the Grammy award for Best Dance Recording with Clarity (featuring Foxes). In addition to that, he has been nominated for tons of other awards. Thus, it should come as no surprise that he is earning around $24.5 million a year.
Zedd is a 26-year-old Russian-German DJ who was born with a name Anton Zaslavski (????? ??????????). He jumped into music industry fourteen years ago.
His breakthrough in commercial music industry was in 2011. He remixed Lady Gaga’s Born This Way. Since then, he has worked with so many artists such as The Black Eyed Peas.
Zedd also produces some great musics such as Justin Bieber’s Beauty and the Beat and Ariana Grande’s Break Free.
It’s a tough pick among his great records. But here is Stay the Night featuring Paramore’s Hayley Williams. This is on top of my current summer dance play list!
