They're coaxed millions onto the dancefloor over their careers and soundtracked nights out all over the world.
And the leading lights of the DJing world can command millions of dollars to get the party started.
Add in enormous profits frm selling albums, remixing other artists' tracks, advertising deals and shrewd investments, and DJs can become extremely wealthy.
We've taken a look at those who have banked the most bucks out of the industry.
For the purposes of this list we've chosen people who are predominantly known for being DJs, rather than those who just have a DJing sideline - meaning the likes Gianluca Vacchi ($200 million) who made most of his cash from investments, do not appear.
With that being said, here are the top 11 richest DJs in the world in 2024, according to CelebrityNetWorth.
5. Swedish House Mafia
Why have one DJ when you can have three? Electronic house trio Swedish House Mafia - comprising Steve Angello, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso - actually split up in 2013, but reformed only five years later. No wonder when they are so profitable - having earned around $100 million to date. | Getty Images
6. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.
In joint sixth place are Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. The French duo are widely regarded as as one of the most influential acts in dance music history - earning around $90 million apiece. | Getty Images
