Photos: Paris Hilton rakes $1 million per performance: Deadmau5 slams, calls her a "straight up ass"

Paris Hilton — long derided as a celebutard joke — is having the last laugh as one of the top DJs in the world.

The hotel heiress has a residency at Harrah’s in Atlantic City and spins about twice a week in places like Dubai, Vietnam and Shanghai.

Last month, she was given the Paris fashion week stamp of approval when she performed in sunglasses at Carine Roitfeld’s A-list bash.

Paper magazine reports that Paris made $2.7 million spinning four nights in Ibiza, which works out to $347,000 an hour.

“I am working a lot as a DJ and getting paid very well and having a ball,” Hilton told me on Wednesday from the home in Los Angeles she shares with seven dogs, three cats, four ferrets, three flying squirrels, one pony and a pig.

Is it true she sometimes makes more than $1 million per gig?

“My mother always told me it’s not polite to discuss money, but it’s true,” she said. “I’m very proud. I’ve worked hard. I love music. It’s my passion.”

Hilton will be spending more time in New York, since she just made an offer on a full-floor loft in Soho, after having looked at more than 50 places.

Next she wants to buy her own Gulfstream because she’s tired of chartered jets.

“I don’t want to be bragging, but it’s great to be paid well for what you love doing,” she said.

But no one to share it with? “I’m single and I’ve never been happier.” Take that, haters.

Just a day after the revelation that Paris Hilton rakes up to $1 million dollars per performance—beating out other DJs like Deadmau5, Tiesto and even Calvin Harris—Deadmau5 slammed the heiress on his blog.

"So Paris makes a billion dollars playing a CD at a club. That's great. How is this news again?" he began his war of words against the bubbly blonde.

"Look, as much as she's probably loathed by the EDM world… and me, you can't possibly hold it against her for involvement in the electronic music scene…I remember back when, at the Cosmo in Vegas, she attended, and I guess I was accommodating (as far as that usually goes for me) I could see she was having a fun time, liked the music, and just wanted to be a part of it all… so of course, why not… even I couldn't hate on that."

Deadmau5 continued, "But, let's get real here for a second…There's being involved / enthusiastic about something…and then there's just being a straight up ass."

He also compared her foray into the EDM world to someone without any experience entering into the Indy 500.

"So Paris, thank you… were actually not even mad you're enthusiastic about electronic music… we love that you're a part of our party. But please, get the f--k back in your go kart. 

"No need to prove that you found someone stupid enough to consider paying you a million dollars for something the world knows you aren't… because here's what you actually are to everyone who knows better…Ticket sales. Nothing more."

Meanwhile, neither Hilton's mood nor career seems to have been affected by the diss.

She tweeted earlier yesterday, "Yay! Exciting news! Just signed a huge residency deal at one of my favorite cities in the world! #LovingLife #KillingIt."
