This gig happened last year in April, and this gig helped him sign The Residency at the new day club and night club at the palms casino resort in Las Vegas. The deal was worth dollar 60 million dollars, but even this could not help him to brag the title of highest-paid DJ. Just like every year, people anticipated that at least one female DJ would top the list or at least would be part of it. But you will be shocked to know that none of the female artists have made it to the Forbes list of highest-paid DJ in 2019.

All the artists collectively brought around $272 million, which is an increase in income as compared to last year. The previous year’s figure was of $260 million.
