Calvin Harris – $46 million

Blowing away the competition and easily doubling each of contestant’s earnings comes Calvin Harris, young Scottish DJ sensation and a man who grossed in more than such music titans as Jay-Z and Katy Parry. Calvin remains modest about his success, naming electronic music boom as one of the key factors. “I happened to be in the right place at the right time,” he said. Whichever the case may be, a whopping $46 million figure speaks for itself.
