Luke Littler’s incredible rise to the top of the darting world has allowed him to amass incredible earnings, as it has now been revealed how much the 18-year-old earns daily.
The world No2 has his sights set on the No1 ranking, and this weekend could be his first opportunity to steal it away from rival Luke Humphries.
The Nuke has been slowly closing the gap to Cool Hand, and with a win at the European Championship, he would be able to jump his namesake and take the top spot.
Since turning professional at the start of 2024, he has won £1,680,500 from his efforts on the PDC stages across the country, meaning that he is taking home £2,533 every day since making his move to the professional stage.

Littler takes home around £17,900 a week and could add another £120,000 to his total this weekend with a win in Dortmund.
The staggering numbers for someone so young show the immense talent that Littler possesses, and his earnings are surely only going to grow.
On the two-year rolling PDC Order of Merit, Littler has sat in second spot for months as he has worked his way to closing in on Humphries, with both closing in on the £2million mark.
Littler took a huge chunk out of Humphries earlier this year when he took home £500,000 after his mammoth win at the 2025 World Darts Championship.
He also took home another £120,000 with his recent win at the World Grand Prix after demolishing Humphries 6-1 in the final; the win sets him up perfectly to take the No1 spot this weekend.

The total does not take into account the non-ranking events, in which he won at both the Bahrain Darts Masters and the Dutch Darts Masters.
While both were invitational events, which are very similar exhibitions, the wins would have netted him tens of thousands more.
The money from those events does not count towards his PDC Order of Merit winnings.
Littler has chosen to take part in the European Championships in Dortmund in order to take the No1 spot, despite usually avoiding events in Germany.
LATEST SPORTS NEWS:
The Nuke has withdrawn from four events within the country this year, as he has been heavily booed at events in Germany.
He chose not to attend the European Darts Grand Prix, European Darts Open, Baltic Seas Darts Open, and German Darts Championship this year.
The top two seeds are destined to meet in the quarter-finals of the European Championships without any shock defeats as they battle for the biggest title in darts.
Littler will start the event by facing Raymond van Barneveld on his path to Cool Hand, with a win helping him gain the top spot.

He has contracts with McDonald's and BoohooMan, as well as agreeing to a partnership with Xbox in December.
Littler also signed the “biggest deal in darts” when he agreed a multi-year partnership with Target Darts in February 2024.
Recently, he took that relationship one step further as he announced the company will also manage him going forward.
