Luke Littler's darts fortune emerges as teenager's net worth continues to explode

Luke Littler raked in over £1million last year, according to books filed by his sports firm. The 18-year-old world darts champion also looks set for a bumper 2025.

Since his emergence, the sport of darts has been gripped by the young thrower's prowess. In just two short years, Littler has won the Premier League, Grand Slam of Darts, UK Open and World Matchplay and lifted a world title at Alexandra Palace in January. Such success and stardom have brought about significant prizes, and his company's accounts for 2024 show that a cash sum over the £1m mark has been collected.

As per books covering 2024 submitted by Littler's team on September 8, Luke Littler Darts Ltd has £1,074,971 in cash at the bank and in hand. Littler also has creditors of £383,329, of which the majority will likely head to the taxman.

Littler will almost certainly continue as one of the PDC's elite in 2025, and his new The Nuke merchandise shop will only add to his ever-growing fortune. T-shirts and hoodies are available to purchase online via the Luke Littler Store, ranging from £15 to £60. Other memorabilia such as mugs, prints and phone cases also feature.

The Nuke is also selling pricey signed and framed prints of some of his notable feats, including a signed dartboard in a premium frame that would set any fan back £395. The potential earnings from all of this merchandise, combined with the prizes Littler continues to win at the oche, suggest that this year could be even more lucrative than the last.

To date, The Nuke has earned just over £2m in prize money on the PDC stage. His World Darts Championship win accounts for £500,000 of this total, with his World Matchplay victory earning him £200,000.

Overall, the 18-year-old has won 14 titles on the PDC Tour as a professional and has earned legions of endorsements and exhibition appearances for such successes. His net worth sits around an estimated £1.6m.

Fellow pro Nathan Aspinall suggested in May that Littler could happily walk away from the sport in five years, given how much money he would have earned, but The Nuke swiftly shut that down, suggesting his reign atop darts will last for much longer.

"I know I've heard that, I don't know where he's got that from - don't worry, I'll be here in 10 years," said Littler. "It's crazy to even think about retiring.

"If I win 16 world titles like Phil (Taylor), I'll retire, but I'm not even thinking about retirement at the minute - the money is there to be won, especially the World Championship but not only that everything has gone up. It is all about what you're feeling and I'm sure I'll be here for a long time."
