At just 17, Luke Littler, the darts wunderkind known as “The Nuke,” has skyrocketed to fame and fortune, with a net worth surpassing £1 million and a new address on Millionaire’s Row. The 2025 PDC World Darts Champion’s meteoric rise, fueled by record-breaking titles and lucrative sponsorships, has landed him in a lavish £6,000-a-month mansion, cementing his status as one of sport’s youngest millionaires.
Littler’s breakout came at the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, where, at 16, he stormed to the final, defeating legends like Raymond van Barneveld and Rob Cross, earning £200,000 despite a loss to Luke Humphries. The run, watched by 3.7 million, sparked a darts frenzy. In 2024, Littler dominated, clinching the Premier League, Grand Slam of Darts, World Series Finals, and 2025 UK Open. His crowning moment arrived in January 2025, when he became the youngest world champion at 17 years and 347 days, pocketing £500,000. With 13 PDC titles, including five majors, his prize money hit £1,013,500 by October 2024, per talkSPORT, bolstered by deals with Xbox, boohooMAN, and KP Nuts.
His wealth has transformed his lifestyle. Littler traded a £180,000 Warrington two-bedroom home for a five-bedroom mansion on Millionaire’s Row, rented at £6,000 monthly. The Mirror describes it as a “showstopper” with an indoor pool, home cinema, expansive garden, and six bathrooms, complete with rent-covered pool maintenance and gardening. Finished with top-tier fixtures and cutting-edge design, the estate reflects Littler’s ascent to the elite.
Despite his riches, Littler remains rooted. A Manchester United devotee, he showcased his 2025 World Championship trophy at Old Trafford and stays tight with parents Lisa Littler and former cabbie Anthony Buckley, who handed him his first darts at 18 months. His sister, Caitlin, a TikTok star, hails him as the “GOAT.” Managed by Martin Foulds of ZXF Sports, Littler unwinds with gaming alongside Twitch streamer Angry Ginge, a nod to his journey from hitting a 180 at six to a televised nine-darter at 14.
Endorsements and potential future winnings—another £500,000 World Championship prize looms—could push his net worth higher. Named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year and a SPOTY runner-up, Littler’s “Luke Littler effect” has ignited a darts boom. As he settles into his Millionaire’s Row palace, the teen sensation’s blend of talent and humility signals even greater heights ahead.
