However, the list goes onto to feature other sports stars, musicians of all backgrounds, Tv stars, movie stars and celebrity socialites. Included in the list are 3 DJ/Producers, a reflection of the boom the electronic dance scene has experienced in the past 5 years or so, with their annual earnings around the same amount as their net worth’s half a decade ago. Exuberant performances fee’s, record label deals and many product endorsements have all seen their pay cheque’s sky-rocket.
