Cathy Guetta tops annual list of highest-paid djs

In 2022 it looked like the dj’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (March 5) that Guetta is the highest-paid dj in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between February 2024 and February 2025, a nearly $50 million lead over her closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The French dj has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Guetta Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Dakar Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderguetta - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Cathy) and a fashion line called “Cathy Guetta Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Cathy fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
