Born in Leiden, the Netherlands in December 1976, Armin came from a family who enjoyed music, so he got his desire from them. Then, when he was only 10 years old, his mother got a computer. So, at an early age he combines his desires for music with many opportunities offered by technology. He began to explore this and use it to make unique music. He studied at Leiden University while working as a DJ at a club called Nexus. Dave Lewis introduced him to the music scene in England and the US in 1999, so that his successful career began.
One of the first contracts he signed was United Recordings in 1999 when he released a song called “Touch Me.”
It is so clear that he will become successful because this first song will soon reach the top of the EDM charts in the US and many European countries. The audience not only accepted his music very well, but he also inspired many others to start working on their DJ’s skills.
The first compilation album “A State of Trance” was released immediately after (in 2000), and then only 3 years later, the debut album came out, titled “76” because it lasted for 76 minutes. In 2005, his second album was released, and it was very successful because he himself wrote most of the songs. In 2007, he ranked first at the MAG DJ, while in 2008, he won the Buma Cultuur Pop Award, the most prestigious Dutch music award.
The third album titled “Imagine,” which came out in 2008, was No. 1 in the Dutch album chart. The most popular song on this album is “In and Out of Love,” which already has more than 188 million appearance so far. The following albums (“Mirage” in 2010, “Intense” in 2013 and most recently, “Embrace” in 2015) are just as successful, which helps him remain one of the best DJs in the world.
In 2001, he made a weekly radio program called “A State of Trance,” which also made him different from other DJs. This event has become very popular from time to time, so today, he has more than 41 million listeners from nearly 100 countries. In addition, he also made one of the most successful record labels in the world called “Music Fleet.”
As for his wealth, may not be seen at first sight, but Armin always lives on earth. He lived in a Dutch rural house in Oegstgeest with his family. Supposedly, this house includes 10 rooms, as well as indoor swimming pools, horse stables and small garages. In addition to this beautiful house, he also has other properties, luxury duplex in Amsterdam Oud-West, and an apartment in a historic building in his hometown. He drives Jaguar F-Type V8 S.
Today, Armin Van Buuren’s net worth is estimated at around $ 55 million. Considering how much he works, we believe it will even continue to grow in the following years.
