Nina Kraviz Net Worth in 2026: трип, Touring Fees and a Divisive Career
Nina Kraviz's net worth in 2026 is estimated at $2.5m to $5m. How the Siberian DJ built трип, what she earns from touring, and the disputes that shaped her career.
Few names in techno split a room quite like Nina Kraviz. The Siberian DJ, producer and label boss is one of the most searched artists in the genre, and the two questions that follow her around are always the same: how much is she actually worth, and how did a trained dentist from Irkutsk end up running one of the most uncompromising labels in dance music.
Nina Kraviz at a glance
- From: Irkutsk, Siberia, Russia (birth year is usually given as 1987, but she has never confirmed it)
- Before music: qualified in dentistry, wrote for a fanzine, hosted a local radio show
- Breakthrough: “Ghetto Kraviz” in 2011, the self titled album in 2012
- Label: трип, founded 2014, catalogue now past TRP053
- Estimated net worth: $2.5m to $5m (unverified estimates)
How much is Nina Kraviz worth in 2026
The figure that circulates most often is around $2.5 million, with more generous trackers pushing towards $5 million. Annual income is usually placed between $1 million and $2.5 million, drawn from festival fees reported at $50,000 to $100,000 per show, label income, streaming and brand work including a Ray-Ban collaboration. On our highest paid techno DJs list that puts her well behind Carl Cox and roughly level with Adam Beyer.
The honest caveat that most net worth pages leave out: Kraviz does not publish accounts, so every figure in circulation, ours included, is an informed estimate rather than a fact.
трип is the asset nobody prices
Founded in 2014, трип is the part of the Kraviz story that valuation sites consistently miss. The catalogue is past TRP053 and still moving, with Vladimir Dubyshkin’s “Jane Doe’s Secret” landing in 2026 after recent records from Nocow and Steve O’Sullivan, and Discogs lists more than 150 трип entries across pressings and digital editions. It is a small, deliberately awkward, vinyl first operation, and it is why a generation of Russian and Eastern European producers reached an international audience at all.
The career that keeps making headlines
Kraviz has been the subject of several high profile disputes. In October 2019 she posted photographs of herself wearing cornrows and was accused of cultural appropriation; as Resident Advisor reported, she first replied “I can wear whatever I want”, then deleted the posts and said the reaction had gone “out of proportion”. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, her response was widely criticised as insufficient: Clone Distribution ended its relationship with трип citing ethical and moral disagreements, and she was dropped from bills including Movement Detroit, The Crave and PollerWiesen. In May 2022 she said she was “deeply moved by what’s happening in the world” and described herself as a musician rather than a political figure. We record these episodes because they are a documented part of how her career is discussed, not to adjudicate them.
Where she is in 2026
She is still touring. Confirmed dates include L’Olympia in Montreal on 8 November 2026 and Manning Bar in Sydney on 28 November 2026, alongside a European festival run through the summer. For the earlier chapters, our older piece on the lesser known facts about Nina Kraviz covers the dentistry years and the Damela Ayer alias.
Our view: the net worth question is the least interesting thing about Nina Kraviz. Two and a half million is a modest figure for someone who has headlined most of the festivals on our techno festivals guide, and it reflects a career that never took the obvious commercial route. трип will outlast the estimate.
