Net Worth History

When we first started tracking Charlie Sloth’s net worth in 2020, it was estimated at just $3 million. However, that didn’t take into account his 20% investment with AU Vodka, which, at the time, wasn’t profitable. Since then, the brand has done over £100 million in turnover, with Charlie’s shares valued at roughly £30 million ($40.1 million).

At the time of writing, we’re estimating Charlie Sloth’s net worth at approximately $45 Million.

Early Career

Charlie Sloth released his first mixtape, The Big Boot, in 2004, but it largely flew under the radar. The same year, he was cast in the BBC series Tower Block Dreams, marking his first major television appearance. That said, he was fairly well-known on pirate radio under his alias Sloth, as a music producer for underground hits. However, Sloth still had a long way to go until he rivaled the richest DJs in the world, but fortunately, he was up for the challenge. 

Charlie Sloth earned more notoriety than ever before when he won Most Original Video at the CraveFeat Awards in Canada. This award was presented to him for his 2007 music video, “Guided Tour of Camden,” which he both recorded and produced. At the same time, Sloth created his own weekly video series called Being Charlie Sloth, which documented his life. The online series was picked up by WorldStarHipHop.com and ran for a successful 59 episodes. 

In 2008, Sloth took home the Best Rap/Hip-Hop Unsigned Artist award at the CraveFest Awards in Canada. Soon after, Sloth started to gain renown for his freestyle brand Fire in the Booth, and many prominent artists came to his studio to perform. Some of the most notable have been Drake and Migos, who appeared on the show during Sloth’s tenure on 1Xtra. Running for over 400 episodes, Fire in the Booth is easily one of Sloth’s most significant ventures as a musician and DJ. 

Radio Career

Starting in 2012, Charlie Sloth began hosting the daily drivetime show on BBC Radio 1Xtra, which introduced him to a huge audience. Dedicated to hip-hop and urban music, this hosting gig was perfect for Sloth, and he quickly developed a reputation for his passion and knowledge. 

Sloth continued hosting on 1Xtra and, in 2017, started hosting the late-night show The 8th, which was simulcast on 1Xtra and Radio 1 Monday through Thursday. This new show included not just music content, but also social media and video, and coupled with Sloth’s personality, it quickly became a hit. 

However, in October 2018, Charlie Sloth announced he would be leaving 1Xtra, with his last show being on November 3rd. Subsequently, Sloth stormed the stage at the Audio and Productions Award show and went on a rant after losing out on the ARIA Award. In response, Radio 1 let him go on October 20th, stating he wouldn’t be completing his final ten shows.

AU Vodka Investment

Before being involved with AU Vodka, Sloth initially wanted to set up his own vodka brand and, in his own words, spent roughly £100,000 ($127,000) developing the idea. However, he was dissatisfied with his initial development and struggled to determine how to continue.

Coincidentally, not too long after, Charlie Morgan and Jackson Aaron Quinn, the entrepreneurs behind AU Vodka, sent Sloth a DM on Instagram. The pair asked Sloth if they could send him some bottles and potentially secure a shoutout from the DJ. Sloth asked if the pair were looking for investment, and while they weren’t at the time, in 2017, Sloth received 200 shares, equating to a 20% stake in AU Vodka. Morgan and Quinn each owned 40% of the company.

Sloth played a significant role in promoting the brand in tandem with hip-hop artists who appeared on Fire in the Booth. According to the company’s filings for the year ended April 2023, AU Vodka generated £54 million ($68.58 million), with a gross profit of £19.7 million ($25.02 million) and a net profit of £10.38 million ($13.18 million). According to those same documents, Sloth received a dividend of £500,000 ($635,000) for the year.

With the company’s most recent valuation estimated at approximately £150 million ($190.5 million), Charlie Sloth’s 20% stake would be worth £30 million ($38.1 million). In a 2023 interview on The Diary of a CEO, Sloth suggested that by the end of the year, the company could be worth as much as £800 million ($1.016 billion). We’ll have to wait until the next company filing to assess whether that’s the case.

Introduction

Kaskade is an American professional record producer, remixer, and DJ with an estimated net worth of $60 Million.

In this profile, we’ll outline our research into Kaskade’s net worth, earnings, and business ventures. We’ll also look at any events that may have affected his finances, including his divorce, investments, and FP Holdings lawsuit.

Quick Facts

• Earned an estimated $89.5 million from six years in the 2010s
• Peak annual income of $19 million in 2016
• Awarded an $8 million settlement in a breach-of-contract lawsuit
• Selling his 9,239-square-foot Pacific Palisades mansion for $20 million

Earnings History

Arkade Record Label

Kaskade founded his own independent record label, Arkade, in December 2014, making it his primary platform for releasing his own music and signing emerging artists. He has said in interviews that the name was inspired by memories of visiting an arcade and shop called Dog Ear Records after school.

Arkade’s biggest commercial success was the Kx5 project, in collaboration with Deadmau5. The album reached number six on the US Dance/Electronic Albums chart, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album.

SkinnyDipped Investment

Several years later, in 2023, Kaskade was among dozens of investors in SkinnyDipped’s $12 million Series A funding round. The Seattle-based food brand, founded in 2016, is known for its range of low-sugar snacks.

Kaskade joined other celebrity investors, including Amy Schumer, Mark Wahlberg, Post Malone, and Marshmello. The brand, founded by mother-daughter team Breezy and Val Griffith, planned to use the funds to expand into new retailers and product innovation. Kaskade has gone from label boss to investor, building a business portfolio that sits alongside his successful DJ career.

FP Holdings Lawsuit

In January 2018, Kaskade signed a two-year contract with FP Holdings, which owned the Palms Casino in Las Vegas. He had agreed to 30 shows per year during 2019 and 2020 at KAOS Nightclub at the Palms. The residency paid him $300,000 per night, and Kaskade completed all his contracted shows until September 2019. However, the venue canceled his October concert due to renovations, and KAOS never reopened. On November 6, 2019, the club closed indefinitely due to $20 million in losses, and therefore, all of Kaskade’s remaining performances were canceled.

Soon after the closure, Kaskade filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against FP Holdings in December 2019. In response, the company argued that the COVID-19 pandemic would have made it impossible to hold concerts through most of 2020. However, the court rejected that argument, ruling that alternative venues, including streaming performances, could have easily been found.

About 15 months after the initial filing, in March 2022, the court ruled in Kaskade’s favor, ordering FP Holdings to pay him $1.2 million for the seven canceled 2019 performances. The court also agreed that he be paid an additional $6.75 million for the 30 performances scheduled for 2020 and that FP Holdings cover his legal fees.

Given KAOS’s financial difficulties, it has never been confirmed whether Kaskade ever received the money from FP Holdings.

Divorce Settlement

Kaskade and Naomi Raddon first met in Provo, Utah, in 1995, married in August 1996, and went on to have three daughters. After almost 30 years of marriage, Naomi filed for divorce in October 2024, citing irreconcilable differences.

Naomi requested joint legal and physical custody of their youngest daughter, who was 14 at the time of the separation. In addition, she asked the court to order Kaskade to pay spousal support and her legal fees. However, it is unclear whether the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place to protect Kaskade’s fortune. As of today, the case remains ongoing, and no financial outcome has been made public.

Real Estate

In October 2013, Kaskade and his wife Naomi paid $4.25 million for a home in Pacific Palisades, California. They’d previously been renting the home for roughly $15,000 per month the prior year. It appears the couple has since demolished the old home and built a new 9,239-square-foot house with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. After the couple divorced, Kaskade listed it for sale at a whopping $24 million in March 2025, but has yet to find a buyer. The price has since been reduced twice, and it’s currently still on the market for $19.99 million.

Summary 

Kaskade is one of the best DJs in the world, and his career as a record producer and remixer has also garnered him much well-deserved attention. Judging by just how much his net worth has grown in the past five years, we expect him to become even wealthier in the future, so check back for updates!

Introduction

Zedd is a German professional DJ and music producer with an estimated net worth of $50 Million.

Quick Facts

• Earned an estimated $120.5 million between 2014 and 2019
• Peak annual income of $24.5 million in 2016
• Paid $18.4 million for a 17,500-square-foot mansion in Encino, California
• Typically earns between $200,000 and $250,000 per show

Earnings History

Zedd had one of the quickest rises to success in music history. The German national began learning about EDM in 2009, and by 2014, he was ranked the seventh-highest-paid DJ in the world. That year, Zedd earned an estimated $21 million, thanks to an average income of $100,000 per performance. Just one year prior, the DJ was grossing only $20,000 per show.

From that point until 2019, Zedd featured on every iteration of Forbes’ highest-paid DJs list. During this time, Zedd’s annual income naturally alternated between higher and lower figures. In his case, his activity would fluctuate from year to year. For example, in 2015, his income declined to $17 million, but in 2016, it shot back up to $24.5 million. In 2017, his earnings were an estimated $19 million, and in 2018, they exceeded $22 million. You get the idea. The fluctuations in his income were solely due to his level of activity in each given year.

During his peak years, Zedd reportedly earned at least $200,000 per show, often grossing $250,000 per gig.

Impossible Foods Investment

While Zedd has enjoyed massive success worldwide, he is also quick to invest in a variety of business ventures. In 2019 and 2020, he invested a significant amount in the Series E and F funding rounds for Impossible Foods. During the round, the company raised a total of $300 million; however, this figure encompasses a substantial list of investors, and Zedd’s individual investment is unknown.

The company focuses on producing sustainable alternatives to meat, fish, and chicken made with plant-based ingredients and is supported by many celebrities. Zedd joined well-known stars such as Jay-Z, Trevor Noah, Katy Perry, Phil Rosenthal, Jaden Smith, Ruby Rose, and Serena Williams as major investors.

Real Estate

In December 2014, Zedd paid $3.9 million for a 3,831-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Los Angeles, California. This property, which features a very modern interior design and includes amenities such as an outdoor pool, recording studio, and wine cellar. It also features views of the Los Angeles city skyline. Zedd recently returned the property to the market in October 2025, seeking $5.5 million. 

In November 2023, the DJ purchased an enormous 17,500-square-foot, eight-bedroom, eleven-bathroom mansion in Encino, California. He paid $18.4 million for the property, which features a wine cellar, home gym, media room, and outdoor pool.

Summary 

By following his dream of becoming a musician, Zedd defied the odds and is now one of the most well-known and popular dance music performers. His achievements, awards, and impact on electronic music make him one of the genre’s leading personalities and trend-setting icons. By collaborating with talented artists, Zedd not only keeps abreast of the latest talent but also influences the next generation of artists.
