Paul Oakenfold is a British record producer and "trance" disc jockey with an estimated net worth of $55 million. His initial career path had him moving in a different direction – he wanted to be a chef. However, while still very young (just 21 years old), Oakenfold moved to Manhattan from England and settled in an apartment that was a short walk from Studio 54, a very hot and popular nightclub at the time that was frequented by celebrities and the rich and famous. Oakenfold managed to get into the club regularly and began to meet "important and well-known people." These new friendships led directly to his new career as a music producer in 1985. Since that time, Oakenfold has worked with many well-known British music groups and American rappers to produce a seemingly endless array of albums, many of which have been commercially successful. He remains actively engaged in this industry and is one of the busiest producers working today.
