It depends on how good he/she is. If the DJ is an excellent producer, makes a name for himself in the rave and club world, makes and releases CD's, then the DJ can well make millions of dollars a year. Same thing goes for resident club DJ's. It depends no how successful the club is and how skilled the DJ is. For private DJ's that do weddings and other events like that, typical DJ packages start at about $600 and then varies with length, music type, etc.
