I thought he only had one hit, that's a huge return

Some people are really racking in the cash in the music biz:

If you're assuming that's all royalties, then that's a big number. The clue's in the title of the article – it's a DJ list.

Getting a lot of bookings though, but just checked his Discogs listing, he's put out quite a bit of tracks during the last couple of years.

He's earning as much as Tïesto

Wasn't Avicii Swedish? In the ABBA days you'd pay 104% tax in the top bracket

Well he saved some money too, like not paying for Sylenth

Since when are Avicii and Calvin Harris DJs? They might make a live gig but for me a real DJ is someone like Paul van Dyk or David Guetta or DJ Antoine...

David Guetta is no 2 on the list isn't he?

Tim Bergling (born 8 September 1989), better known by his stage name Avicii (a-VEE-chee; stylized as ɅVICII or ◢◤) is a Swedish EDM DJ, remixer, and record producer.[3] Avicii ranked 3rd on DJ Magazine's annual Top 100 DJs in 2012 and 2013[4][5] and has been nominated twice for a Grammy Award, once for his work on "Sunshine" with David Guetta in 2012[6] and once for his song "Levels" in 2013.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_harris

Adam Richard Wiles (born 17 January 1984), better known by his stage name Calvin Harris, is a Scottish DJ, singer-songwriter, and producer.

DJ = Disk Jockey, that is someone playing records. Over time the definition has drifted to a musician / stage artist with one ear on the headphones while twisting knobs and waving to the public.

Maybe he can now even afford buying Sylenth

Neither Calvin Harris nor Avicii were DJs. Calvin Harris made his first dubstep songs on his AMIGA computer in the bed room in the house of his parents in Dumfries, as well as his first dance album "I Created Disco"...he didn't work as DJ at all...

Avicii earned was given $28 million last year

Fixed.
