17. Calvin Harris
Earnings: $66M
Musician
The Scottish DJ solidified his ascent in mainstream culture by capturing the heart of pop music icon Taylor Swift. The pair are now dating, creating perhaps the most powerful music power couple this side of Jay Z and Beyonce. Love life aside, Harris has had a pretty good year at the office and is once again the world’s highest-paid electronic dance music artist. While he played fewer shows than last year, he’s seen a rise in club and festival fees prop up his earning total. He also has seven-figure endorsements with the likes of Giorgio Armani, which made Harris its newest face for its men’s underwear line. A rare artist who writes, performs and produces his own tracks, he released “Motion” last October with collaborations from the likes of Gwen Stefani and Big Sean.
