Luke Littler's huge net worth and prize money as darts star celebrates 18th birthday
Luke Littler burst onto the scene when he made the final in his debut PDC World Darts Championship tournament at just 16 years old - but what he's gone on to achieve since then is nothing short of remarkable.
Fast-forward a little over one year later, the darting sensation is now officially an adult. And for the first time in his young life, he will be able to celebrate with a pint or two.
The now-18-year-old has enjoyed a generational debut year on the PDC circuit, picking up Pro Tour titles, Euro Tour triumphs, as well as major wins including the Premier League and the Grand Slam. Not to mention being crowned the youngest-ever PDC World Darts Championship winner after beating Michael van Gerwen in the final at Alexandra Palace in January.

And while his first year as champ didn't get off to the best of starts in Bahrain, Littler is still sitting pretty as one of the biggest earners in professional darts. The ECHO takes a look at the Warrington-born superstar's gigantic net worth and prize money in full.
What is Luke Littler's net worth?
Darts' youngest millionaire has enjoyed a profitable year, though Littler's exact net worth is unknown. All of his title wins and prize money combined equal to well over £1.5 million, which is not including the many lucrative sponsorship deals he has reaped the rewards from.
These deals include BoohooMan, Target and Xbox, while he also made an appearance on the remake of hit show Bullseye. All of which has ultimately helped him move to a swanky new £6,000-a-month pad in Warrington.
Forbes reported last July that Littler's estimated earnings for 2024 was £1.2 million which included "prize money, endorsements, royalties and appearances fees." Yet this wasn't to include the £500,000 he took home from winning the World Darts Championships - so he's won a boatload of money, to say the least.
Now, after turning 18, these earnings are likely to drastically increase as the potential range of sponsorships and endorsements he will be able to attract will expand. Beforehand he was unable to endorse any gambling or alcohol brands.
How much prize money has Luke Littler won?
Luke Littler currently sits at number two in the PDC Order of Merit. A ranking based on prize money accumulated over the course of the last two years.
It shows 'The Nuke' has won a total of £1.2million in prize money. Note this only includes PDC ranked events.
The teen sensation started off by bagging £200,000 for losing in last year's World Darts Championship final against Luke Humphries. Next was his first PDC title - the Bahrain Darts Masters - which was an extra £30,000.
His debut Pro Tour win followed closely, which added £15,000 more to his bank balance. More triumphs were to come, including the Belgian Open and Austrian Open (both £30,000).
Littler then celebrated winning the Premier League Darts, which was his biggest-ever payday with £275,000. Though this is not included in his overall rankings as it is classed as an unranked tournament.
Another Pro Tour win came shortly after (another £15,000) and next was winning the World Series of Darts Finals, which came with a cheque for £80,000. Runners-up in the Players Championship Finals in Minehead awarded him £60,000, while his Grand Slam success in Wolverhampton netted him £150,000.
Saving the best for last was winning the World Darts Championship, going one-up from last year, and taking home an outstanding £500,000. Including the small sums of money he received from tournaments where he didn't make it very far, his total prize money sits at around £1.5 million.
