Calvin Harris has been named as the world's highest-paid DJ for the fourth consecutive year, according to the annual Electronic Cash Kings list compiled annually by Forbes.
	Harris, 32, had a seemingly rough year in terms of his personal life - he split up from his girlfriend of 15 months, Taylor Swift, earlier this month, just days after being injured in a nasty car accident.
	But it hasn't affected his earning power, with the Scottish-born DJ raking in an estimated USD 63 million.
	The list analyses earnings from record sales and live performances, as well as sponsorship deals, endorsements and other such ancillary contracts.
