9. Martin Garrix ($16 million)
Martin Garrix is not just one of the highest paid DJs in the world, he is also the youngest among all! He is only 20 years of age. And he started his music career when he was just 16. Imagine DJing at parties where people drink and you legally cannot. Bummer.
Well, I bet he is not that upset with $16 million estimated annual earning now. Martin is known for his big room sound. But he has made some experiments with the progressive sound as well.
Martin was born with the name Martijn Gerard Garritsen. Guess where he is from. Yup, Netherlands. What a land of great DJs! This one has won many awards, including the latest one: Beat Guru from MTV Millennial Awards.
One of his hit singles is Animals. It was released in 2013. And it has been certified as both gold and platinum record. Here is the official video:
