Calvin Harris tops the list again thanks to his hefty six figuree fee for his performances in Las Vegas. In all he made $48.5 million during this period. This year we have two new entrants in the top ten earning DJs.

Debuting at number three were the DJ duo Chainsmokers with earnings of $38 million. Surprisingly, Marshmello debuted this year at number eight with estimated earnings at a whooping $21 million.
