Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

According to TheThings, The Chainsmokers are worth $70 million — a very impressive number for the young duo. In 2019, they even managed to surpass Calvin Harris as the highest-paid electronic act in the entire world, a title Harris held for the previous six years (via Forbes). Their income is largely due to their live shows and festival performances, along with music sales (their third album, "World War Joy," debuted at number one on the Dance/Electric Charts in December of 2019), and endorsements.

Recently, according to KTNV, The Chainsmokers announced a residency at The Wynn in Las Vegas, alongside other big names in the electronic world, David Guetta and Kygo. They also announced a hiatus from social media, posting to their Instagram account that they are taking a break from the public to focus on their fourth LP (via Billboard). But fans missing the pair have a lot to look forward to — with an album clearly in the works, we will also see them at the Electric Daisy Carnival in October of this year.
