They say DJs are the new rockstars but a newly published list of the world's richest club Gods shows they've been raking it in for years now.

The top twenty is dominated by the old guard but the ever increasing popularity of electronic dance music in America is reflected in chart positions for the likes of Calvin Harris, Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia.

They will have a battle on their hands to over throw the Ibiza heavyweights though, with Pete Tong, Sasha, Digweed and Paul Van Dyk all jostling for the top spot.

Here are numbers 30-21 in the Celebrity NetWorth list to get you started and then check out the top 20 in photos below.

30 Afrojack ($2 million)
29 Markus Schulz ($2 million)
28 Darude ($2.5 million)
27 Kaskade ($3 million)
26 Martin Solveig ($3 million)
25 Eric Prydz ($4 million)
24 Swedish House Mafia ($4 million each)
23 Gareth Emery ($5 million)
22 Avicii ($6 million)
21 Skrillex ($8 million)
