Net worth =/= income

maybe because he's the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music
Most mainstream EDM guys are worth more.

heh
dude knows how to market himself
He gets royalties for every bleep and bloop you hear in music
Every single electronic music act you've ever heard of is just Aphex Twin wearing a disguise.
He's also Bjork.
There was a time that people bought music and the artists made bank. For some reason, people think that it's ok to illegally dl music, saying "artists don't make money of physical sales" but if you look at the net worths of popular artists from the 90s and most popular artists from today, it's clear they did make a ton of money off record sales.
he invented ABLETON when you pirate adobe he gets money
He was relatively popular in the late 90s/early 00s. Normies liked his music videos -- especially Windowlicker -- and so he become as big as an idm artist can get. 12 mill still nothing compared to the EDM big hitters.

Yeah Ricky doesn't seem at all precious about licensing his music out to places. I remember Mtv Germany liberally using RDJ era snippets as interstitials between shows and commercials.
