NORMAN COOK, better known by his stage name Fatboy Slim, has been in the news this week when the everything- that’s-wrong-with-the-world celebritynetworth.com (whose tagline is ‘what’s your favourite star got in the bank?’) decided to investigate the new internationally hip world of EDM.


Having risen from being the replacement bassist in ‘80s indie band The Housemartins to becoming one of the world’s most famous DJs and producers, as able to pack out Copacabana Beach in Rio as he is Brighton beachfront — or football stadium — in his hometown, the site claims that he’s the 12th richest DJ in the world (manwiched between Steve Aoki and David Guetta) with a net worth of $22 million, a trifling


£14 million after a visit to a bureau du change.


Given that money-obsessed clubs are already throwing various DJs off the decks at the bequest of big spenders, this kind of cash comparison doesn’t bode well for the commodification of dance music. Although this made-up chart did seem precisely that - and pretty inaccurate too.


Anyway, we’re suggesting these rich DJs start flashing their own cash to get irritating members of the crowd removed, like the guy who wants to high five you every second song, or the girl who holds up her phone with an inappropriate r&b tune written on the screen. Failing that, just throw a cake in their face and claim it’s part of your act like Aoki does.
