Calvin Harris highest earning DJ in the world

Calvin Harris has been named as the top earning DJ in the world.

The Scottish hitmaker has enjoyed huge success over the last couple of years and Forbes estimate that he is the highest earning DJ around.

The financial bible say that he will have bagged around $66 million (£39.7m) over the last year.

This comes in contrast to David Guetta's $30m (£18m), which ensured the Frenchman was No.2 on the list.

Commenting on the news, Harris told Forbes: "The rise of dance music has been astronomical in the last three years. I happened to be in the right place at the right time."

Jointly at No.3 on the list is Tiësto and Avicii.
