Calvin Harris is a singer and a DJ, and he’s the rumored boyfriend of Taylor Swift, and he has a net worth of approximately $110 million. He’s doing well for himself now that he’s come to the states, and it looks like the 31-year-old singer has it going on at the moment. His name is not originally Calvin Harris. He was born in 1984 in Scotland by the name of Adam Richard Wiles, and he changed his name professionally. He released his first album in 2007 in the United Kingdom and has been releasing albums ever since. His third album, which was released in 2012, featured 9 singles and all of them made the top 10 charts in the United Kingdom.
That feat allowed Harris to fly past Michael Jackson for the most singles on a single record to make the top 10 in the United Kingdom. That’s a big deal for anyone considering how famous and talented the late Michael Jackson is. This album was the first to reach number 19 on the Billboard top 200 in the US, too. When he began collaborating with the most famous singers in the United States, he became even more famous than he already was. He’s now collaborated with artists such as Gwen Stefani, Rita Ora, LMFAO and even Rihanna on two songs. So far he has won a Grammy for Best Music Video in 2013. However, it’s not his music that makes him so wealthy. It’s actually his DJ skills.
He’s been DJing most of his life, and he’s made history as the world’s highest paid DJ every year since 2013. In 2014 alone, he managed to pull in $66 million, making him the most successful DJ in the business. Additionally, he’s been able to use his pop fame to secure him some of the most amazing DJ gigs in the world. In 2014, he was able to book 125 gigs. He also has a deal with Hakkasan, the biggest nightclub in America, which is located in Las Vegas, where he’s slated to DJ for several years.
He has also made many friends in the music industry, dating Rita Ora for more than a year. He also began dating the very famous Taylor Swift earlier in 2015. The couple has been together since March and were just named the world’s highest paid celebrity couple thanks to Forbes, with a combined earnings of more than $146 million in the past year. That’s more than the couple that previously took the top spot for a while, Jay-Z and Beyonce.
Harris also makes a great deal of money from his deals with Armani and Sol Republic, as they are very lucrative endorsement deals for him. They’ve helped to inflate his net worth to a very respectable $110 million, which is not a bad deal for a guy that’s only 31. Additionally, to add just one little fun fact into the midst of things, he’s sober. He gave up drinking at the age of 24, saying that while he never felt he had a drinking problem, he didn’t like the way that it made him feel and he was afraid it might affect his work negatively.
