Taylor Swift who?

Calvin Harris topped Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid DJs for the fifth year in a row, besting the other top genre artists by a landslide. The Scotland-born 33-year-old raked in nearly $50 million in 2016 -- about $10 million more than #2 on the list.

That Harris nabbed the top spot will come as no surprise to EDM fans: The multitalented star seemingly never takes a break, most recently dropping "Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1." His single "Feels," featuring Pharell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean, is currently climbing the Billboard Top 100.

Rounding out the rest of the Top 10 are some names that will sound familiar (Skrillex, The Chainsmokers) and others that the everyday American may not recognize. But -- just to be clear -- even if you don't know they are, they are making a lot of money. Like, a lot of money. Take a look:
