Deadmau5 $9million short of Forbes estimate
Part-human-part-digital-robot-mouse-thingy Deadmau5 has scoffed at Forbes' estimate of his earnings while speaking at an electronic music conference.
The well respected finance magazine is well known for 'rich-lists' in various categories. In 2012 they published their first ever Electronic Cash Kings list which saw Deadmau5 appear at #6 with reported earnings of $11.5million.
Speaking on stage at Billboard's FutureSound conference, Deadmau5 ' whose real name is Joel Zimmerman ' said: 'After I saw the article, I called my manager and said, 'Yo, what the fuck? I'm $9 million short, dude. We gotta talk. Nobody is making that kind of money.''
On top of the list was Dutch DJ TiГ«sto with a reported earning of $22million.
It is worth noting that these 'rich-lists' are estimates based on total wealth, not just actual dollars that have gone into the bank account. For example, a house that skyrockets in value over the year could be considered income.
