This spring he started dating pop star Taylor Swift, and for the third year in a row he's been ranked No. 1 among the world's top 10 highest-paid DJs, according to Forbes.DJ salaries featured on the Forbes list are based on musical earnings and endorsements over the past 12 months. Harris' tally is a staggering $66 million, which is actually the same figure as last year. He beat the second highest-paid DJ, David Guetta, whose salary totaled $37 million, by over $25 million. Back in 2013, Harris raked in a reported $46 million, so for the past two years he's maintained his $20 million leap. The 31-year-old Scottish DJ dropped his chart-topping LP, "Motion," last October and is the new face of Emporio Armani."The rise of dance music has been astronomical … I happened to be in the right place at the right time," Harris said in his interview with Forbes.Harris also beat Tiësto, whose $36 million income earned him third place. As a duo, Swift and Harris have replaced Jay Z and Beyonce as music's highest-earning couple this year. Together they bring in a total of $146 million, compared to Jay Z and Beyonce's $110.5 million.
