90% of them are producers with little to none dj'ing abilities.

Yeah I thought that was interesting too. I mean the Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk have a lot of DJing experience sure, but would more than likely consider themselves producers. The way this
list seems to work, I'm surprised the likes of Paris Hilton aren't on it. Even Pauly D is banking $150,000 an episode of JS apparently, that plus all his appearances, surely he's worth more than $2 million.

Obviously the person that compiled that list doesn't know the difference between a DJ and a Producer

Most of the old schoolers on that list started out as DJs and then became producers. The younger generation seem to start out as producers and become djs to perform their work.

A couple of them were talking about this list and how wrong it is.....
