forget the stereotype that djs are all broke slackers calvin harris is the exact opposite
in fact he's the richest dj in the world at the time of producing this video he had a net worth
of 300 million dollars that's more money than just about anyone else in the music biz he can
buy whatever he wants and has no problem spending millions at a time the scottish multi-hyphenate
has owned some incredible mansions over the years and he's very fond of luxurious sports cars
especially ones that are worth a small fortune this is how calvin harris spends his millions
calvin harris has proved that spinning tracks for thousands of partying fans is an extremely
lucrative business thanks to his vast fortune he can buy just about any mansion that's on the
market he has owned some incredibly fancy houses over the years including two different mansions in
los angeles and a stunning abode in beverly hills late last year he sold one of his hollywood hills
mansions for 5.4 million dollars the 6 000 square foot mansion which dates all the way back to the
1940s wasn't just a living space for harris harris used the mansion to mix and record music which is
not surprising considering he set up a two-story music room and a recording studio in the house
you could describe the decor of the four bedroom six bathroom traditional mansion as both elegant
and whimsical the home has opulent features like chandeliers and parquet flooring harris
made the space more his own by adding quirky art pieces like giant lego minifigures of the beatles
the home also has a backyard pool and a spacious balcony complete with lounge chairs and a cabana
harris bought this mansion for 5.5 million dollars so he made a small profit when he sold the home
harris also used to own a 4 100 square foot mansion overlooking the sunset strip
this hollywood hills mansion is just as stunning he recently sold the home for 5.5 million dollars
but we're sad to say he took a massive loss on the sale you see harris bought the spacious
smart home back in 2013 for 9.9 million dollars hey don't feel too bad for harris all he has to
do is play a few gigs to earn back that money harris actually hasn't lived in this mansion
for years and was reportedly renting it out for an undisclosed amount we would be surprised if
the rent was less than twenty thousand dollars per month the mansion is just that opulent the
highlight of this property is undoubtedly the infinity edged swimming pool which wraps around
one corner of the sleek modern mansion the trellis-covered sunroom is a nice touch too it
comes complete with an extra long couch and a cozy fireplace it's surrounded by bamboo which gives
the space an elegant asian feel the home's master bedroom has a large stone fireplace big screen tv
a massive wooden bed frame and stylish leather chairs the dining room kitchen and living room
all flow together nicely as the home has an open concept floor plan harris added his personal touch
to some of the rooms in this mansion too he put a bizarre sculpture of an ice cream cone in the home
cinema and a massive picture of frank sinatra's mug shot in the mansion's office the mansion even
has a sauna and spa room hey staring at a mixing board all day is hard work the most expensive
house that harris has ever owned is a 15 million dollar colonial style mansion in beverly hills
harris sold the 18 000 square foot mansion a while ago but we suspect he misses the fabulous home
the huge property even has a two-story guest house behind the main mansion which harris used
exclusively as a recording studio he even set up a ping pong table outside harris doesn't own a ton
of cars but he does have a few nice vehicles in his garage his collection is not as substantial
as the car collection of fellow dj deadmau5 but it's still quite impressive the crown jewel of
harris's car collection is his mclaren mp4 12c the car has a carbon fiber composite chassis and can
go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in just 3.5 seconds no wonder it has a 220 000 price tag the mclaren
mp412c is practically a race car thanks to the 3.8 liter twin turbo v8 engine that delivers a healthy
592 horsepower this british sports car was built for the track but we have to say it looks pretty
good cruising up and down the sunset strip as well harris also owns a 92 000 range rover it might not
be the most glamorous car in his collection but as far as people movers go it gets the job done
let's be honest traveling from gig to gig in a luxurious range rover sure beats taking the bus
the most expensive car in harris's collection is his 270 thousand dollar bentley arnage
this is a car built for royalty harris is in good company because jennifer lopez and
david beckham own bentley arnaud's too the arnage has a top speed of 180 miles per hour
and can go from zero to 60 in 5.2 seconds that's quite speedy for a four-door saloon car
harris doesn't just hoard his money you know he likes to give back too in 2017 he donated 20 000
to the dj snake charity campaign in an effort to help rohingyas in myanmar last year he donated 28
thousand dollars to the save our sub campaign the money helped keep glasgow's sub club in business
after the venue had to close during lockdown it's certainly nice to see harris helping out those in
need harris used to be the highest paid dj in the world he's not anymore but he's still worth
significantly more than any other dj you might be wondering how harris amassed a 300 million
dollar fortune well he earned 46 million dollars between may 2012 and 2013 thanks to a lucrative
tour and residency at the win las vegas he earned 66 million dollars in both 2014 and 2015 making
him the highest paid dj in the world for three consecutive years he earned 50 million dollars per
year from 2016 to 2018 but during that time both the chain smokers and marshmallow made more money
harris reportedly makes four hundred thousand dollars per performance and he can sometimes make
as much as one million dollars a night harris used much of his early income to produce new tracks
i'm gonna spend all the money i'm making in vegas on features he said i'm gonna get everyone to help
out i'm gonna put young thug on a motown funk tune because no one else will it's a waste of money
harris is also a budding entrepreneur he's part owner of the streaming service title along
with jay-z and numerous other artists square recently purchased a majority stake in title
for 297 million dollars in cash and stock we're not sure how much harris earned from the deal
but the payout was likely significant here's a fun fact did you know that harris used to
work in a fish factory let's be honest gutting cod for the chippy sounds absolutely revolting
he didn't work there long though he was laid off after a year and shortly got a
job stocking shelves at safeway harris saved up about five thousand four hundred dollars
while working at the grocery store and to use that money to get into the music biz
